* Add an extra filter option(Search icon) “Size of Space” -S, M, L

*Add icons to the studio page information like phone, map, amenities etc

PON! UI

From last week we learned a lot from paper prototyping.

We decided to put the “adding source” feature before the app sync user data. Based on our A-B test, we realize that our users want to see the prioritized result as soon as possible, so we decided to simplify “adding sources” feature to one step. We did another A-B test of working steps in each single task. The thing we learnt is that every user group has a different opinion on this feature. For students, sometimes they are lack of motivation to finish tasks, so they wish to be motivated by steps. But for these professional people, who have better self management skill, they care more about the priority of tasks. So we decided to allow our user to turn on and off this step feature for their own use. Also, only these complex tasks will be broken down into steps. Some users don’t know how to punch phone. Because punch is the core interaction of this app, so we need a clear introduction to tell users how to interact (punch) with this app. Also, when users finish a single task, they want to have feedback from the app to tell them what they have been finished, so they will get more achievement from the task they finished. So we change the chart after user finish tasks. Sound or vibration feedback is very necessary for punch interaction. Because users can’t look at the screen when they punch the phone, so they need some feedback to let them know they are going to next step.

UI Prototype on Flinto:

Design Prototype: It Speaks (Pauline/Yihan)

First Round User Testing:

– We should modify the graph system to “rate feelings” (not clear enough)

– We should have the user log in somehow (with Facebook)

– The homepage should be feeds from other people, ordered with most popular post first

– We should emphasize the interaction between readers and writers, meanwhile give the control of managing the comments back to writer. (Once the readers send a note to writer, this note is only visible to the writer. The writer can choose to make it public.)

– We should make every post public (but anonymous)

We took into account these inputs and modified each of them.

 

 

Second Round User Testing:

Structure
– Change show feed from friends and family to show the most popular ranking list.
– Reconsidered the main menu, change top to another way: bottom or left
The way to show text
– Change the way of displaying the content for automatically to manually. (Since some people are fast readers, some are slow readers. It will be better to let the reader adjust the reading speed themselves.)
– Redesign the typography of the story to construct a delightful reading environment, and test to see if the user read the story.
– Scrolling down the screen to see the story
Note
– Emphasize the interaction between readers and writers, meanwhile give the control of managing the comments back to writer. (Once the readers send a note to writer, this note is only visible to the writer. The writer can choose to make it public.)
– Design the notes history part
How to measure feeling
– Delete this part to keep the function as simple as possible, as pure as possible.
Some detail problems
– Change recommend it to like it.
– Show how many time this story has been hearted
– Change “speak” to “Publish”
– Delete “group setting” and “I feel lucky”
– Delete the feedback part
– Consider the color pattern
Setting
– Content of the setting: Night model. Adjust the font size. Hearted story.

Third Round User Testing:

Unexpected User Reaction
Solutions or Potential Solutions
Tap on one of the images, but only view the image itself without reading through the whole story
Adjust the image size and leave some space for story’s title. Or add an arrow.
First time users usually do not know the function for each part.
Add a title for each part.
Some users require an easier way to go back to home screen.
Drug up to an certain point and the story screen will jump up and disappear. (Achieve this effect in AE)
Readability of the title for every image on homepage
Adjust contract or add a gradient layer
Try to scroll the homepage.
make the homepage scrollable.
