...
- Make it obvious what the kids liked/disliked.
- Maybe kids shouldn’t have access to shopping list/recipe.
- Make sure pictures are equally appealing
Summary of first iteration
Successes:
- Feedback page was intuitive
- Users tended to use the taste score to pick recipes, although they did not necessarily understand what it meant
Difficulties:
Search box was confusing- users didn’t know what they could search for specifically, or even what the search was for* Unclear how the list of recipes was formed/what the taste score was
- Users didn’t get the idea of choosing kids as a whole instead of just ingredients
- Users didn’t know what their kids didn’t like/liked within the different suggested recipes
- Unclear who each feedback page was for
- Only having positive feedback ratings actually made it confusing
Second Iteration Feedback
User 1
Task 1:
Successes:
- Wrote pasta in the text box and chose the first option
- First wants to go shopping, and will checkmark all of the ingredients when she’s done.
- First clicks on boil water and is surprised by the timer, but hits start and waits for it to be done.
...
- Maybe all the kids should be selected at the beginning.
- Search bar is confusing since the destination isn’t obvious.
- Make the search box say “Search for meals”.
- Get rid of recommended ingredients because they are confusing.
Summary of second iteration
Successes:
- Users understood that they could click on the kids’ faces to choose their preferences
- Users understood the modal window that let them choose which kid to give feedback for
- Checkmarks on the shopping list
- Slider is intuitive
Difficulties:
- Recommended ingredients wasn’t used
- Users didn’t understand the functionality on the recipe page
- Search bar is still slightly confusing, especially because you can add kids
Moving forward
- Work on making sure there are obvious affordances for the kids’ faces being buttons
- Evaluate whether the “recommended ingredients” list is really necessary
- Make sure the search box’s function is obvious
- Figure out what most users do and tailor the pre-selections accordingly
- Make sure kids only have the option to give feedback on the feedback page (no room to really explore around)
- Figure out a way to rank the recipe selections (and make it obvious). Do we want to have a new recipe at the top always? Or the one that they make the most?
- Work on a page that will show the kids’ preferences (could be useful in future tasks)
