Things I learned from user testing the paper prototype apple watch app of “We Eat”
- When first looking at the home screen, users were unclear that this is a “menu” and were not sure what the + icon does. Once tapping any of the menu items, all testers said “ahh” and understood right away that the homepage is a menu and what to expect in each section. While this was not entirely clear on first glass, I feel that this is a short learning curve that is worth the effort. A suggestion I received to help make this more clear was to add a small ‘>’ on the top bar of the “Today”.
- In the “Today” section on the home screen- as meals names can be longer than the space, cut the name with “…” to limit.
- The add a meal is missing information of the day and meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) it will be added to. This should be added in an additional two screens- one for each action.
- In the vote on meal- add the day and meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner), maybe with a dash and meal icons or a color scheme?
- In the inner view of the vote on meal, perhaps the title is not necessary and can allow for more space to present the information in a clearer way emphasizing the day and meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner)
