Problems in
design 1

  1.  Home screen is not 
    conveying sufficient
    information for the
    tasks described. 
  2. All three users tried 
    clicking on Joe's photo 
    on the home screen 
    to view information 
    that Joe's friend can 
    see about him.
  1. All users thought that
    "Friend" and "Deals"
    beside "LocaShare"
    (at the top of the
    screen) was clickable.
  1.  The "My LocaShare"
    and "Bob's LocaShare"
    are confusing. First,
    users cannot recognize 
    it's a button. Second, the
    meaning of the arrow 
    direction is rather 
    confusing.
  2. Users have the mental
    model to click on his on
    picture to view how
    friends view me instead of
    clicking on my friend and 
    exchange the position.

Solutions for
design 2

  1.  Make home screen more
    interactive, carry more 
    affordance and
    information.
  2. Make Joe's photo 
    clickable.
  1.  Remove the
    confusing
    "Friend" on the
    navigation bar, since 
    it does carry any
    functionality but brings
    confusion to users.
  1.  Move this functionality to
    the profile picture in the 
    home screen. It brings user
    to a personal profile like
    page with a list of friends to
    choose from.
