• One of the confusing parts of the design was just having a “Save” button. What might be better would be to have a back button on viewing each entry so that the user can go back to list.
• Something that might be useful and might enable the user to post additional information that might be relevant to their finances would be to have a memo section to jot down notes with regards to the user’s finances, payments, or other financial information.
• In order to keep better track of the user’s debts it might be useful to have a net debt feature that allows the user to see all their debts by name/amount instead of having to go through them one entry at a time. Furthermore, it might be beneficial to keep new entry of debts with expense entry.
• A general idea for improvement would be to organize the map, time, list features more efficiently.

User 2

• An improvement to the tag system would be enable auto-complete while the user is typing for different tags.
• The user doesn’t think it’s important/would rather not save locations with regards to where said user spends their money.
• The “add debts” features needs to be cleaner and somewhat doesn’t make sense/it needs to be better flushed out.
• Selecting an in item on the map should bring up details of expenditure that the user had made at the particular location.

User 3

• User had trouble understand the GPS feature of the app.

• Selecting an in item on the map should bring up details of expenditure that the user had made at the particular location.

User 4

• User had trouble understand the GPS feature of the app.
• User confused the “add debts” button because they understood it as an “Ok” button.
• User had trouble using the zoom feature on the map.** User tried to click directly on it to zoom (took some time to understand)
• One suggestion for an improvement with the overall design would be to enable a keyword search for map screen so that the user can get to a specific location more efficiently.

User 5

• User had trouble using the zoom feature to find locations where his expenses had occurred.
• User thought that a better notification system was needed when using the map feature in order to open a list of expenses near a specific location.

• User did not understand the use of the (Tags) field on <Record Expense> screen
• User also could not find the (Add Debts) button, which is required to attached debts to a recorded expense.
• When looking for how much user’s owes or is owed, the user found and understood the (Net Debts) menu button, and pressed it.
