- We added a select kid modal before being able to give feedback. Users were confused that they didn't tell the application who they were.
- We experimented with a scoring system that only allowed positive ratings. We thought this might help users make scoring decision, but we found this actually confused them.
User Testing Feedback
First Iteration Feedback
User 1
Task 1:
Successes:
- User looked for pasta, and pressed the pasta button on the Ricky button instead of typing it himself.
- Used the “Print button” for the recipe.
- Used the time and hoped that it would ring/notify when time was up.
...
- May need to rethink the search results screen.
- Clicking on children buttons should write the name of the kid, not specific ingredients
User 2
Task 1:
Difficulties:
- User had no idea what to do on the front page, and how to search for pasta.
- Eventually clicked on the search button on top.
- The user didn’t seem to notice that the textbox is a textbox to search things.
- User tried to understand what happens after he wrote pasta in the textbox, and seemed utterly confused about it.
- “The recipe shows how I should cook it?” User couldn’t see the recipe button, and did not understand the top bar is a menu bar, and could go back.
- Thought the task ended with him printing the recipe.
...
- May need a way to erase text fields
- Search bar should be more obvious
- Recommended ingredients may be unnecessary
- Should have a more obvious way of choosing ingredients for specific kids
User 3
Task 1:
Successes:
- Chose the first recipe because it has the highest Taste Score.
- Naturally curious, so clicked on ‘recipe’ in the menu bar.
- Looked at and printed shopping list, then checkmarks things as he buys them.
...
- Search box was confusing- users didn’t know what they could search for specifically
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.
...
- Think about having a comment box on feedback.
- Recommended ingredients might not be necessary.
- The search box on the first page was confusing – somehow make it obvious that you can search for ingredients or kids.
