When the user first attempted to find Zoey in their contacts, they attempted to type in the search bar rather than going to the friends icon.&nbsp; \\

Consider implementing a bulk add, there are currently a lot of steps per friend request which will make adding a lot of people annoying. \\

User would like a way to confirm the person, some way of identifying that the result in the friend search was the correct person. &nbsp;At the time the user had typed and the single result was Zoey. \\

When the user clicked the “Show On Map” button on Zoey’s profile, they were unsure whether this represented Zoey’s current location or her office. &nbsp;Suggested renaming the button to something like “Where is Zoey?” &nbsp; \\

Suggested an add and invite button when inviting people to an event. &nbsp;Eg: Was inviting Christine and Zoey to coffee when remembered they wanted to invite Miranda to coffee as well but had forgotten to add her. &nbsp;Would have to back out of this menu, step through the process of adding Miranda as a friend, then recreate the event. \\

After inviting people to the event and returning to the create event page, the invited field said “3”. &nbsp;User was confused as to what this meant. &nbsp;Was this three people including the user as well or were there three other people invited. &nbsp;Suggested Facebook style listing: list a few guests by name then say “and X others”. \\

At the time, the confirm location popup covered the map. &nbsp;Suggested this was bad as the user could no longer see the map. &nbsp;If they looked away for a second they no longer knew the location of the event. &nbsp;Proceeded to tap back to examine the location. &nbsp;Location was deleted when he merely wanted to double check it.

  • Would like to see the current location of people.
  • Are the routes drawn by the map accurate?  This could be incorrect depending on when the last time the person was tracked, whether they had signal, or if there phone was on.

The pins on the map should say who that pin represents. \\

  • Consistency.  What is the user looking?  I.e the name issue
  • Maybe list name and user name in search, highlighting what matches the users input.  I.e if the user types in Rob, result shows Rob Miller rcm, where rcm is his username and Rob is highlighted.
  • The icons look grayed out.
  • Consistency.  Some menus had back buttons while others did not.
  • Not sure of the purpose of the search bar.  In the home map, is it to find a person or location.

  • Allow people to invite their friends to an event.  Possibly use open/closed meetings.
  • When inviting friends to an event you could sort them by distance or by frequency of events you attend together.
  • The app is somewhere between informal and full contact management. The right way to do things may not be easy.
  • The tasks were intuitive but might want to reevaluate the tasks that we are aiming for so we can identify what we are missing or how to make the app better.
  • The app could possibly suggest places to meet or store personal defaults.
