Observations

Users' Feedback:

User 1 :

  1.  Show current date in the calendar for scheduling a meetup* Separate date from time. It’s ambiguous. Possibly put it on the next line
  2. Location field could be a pop-up of map when scheduling an event
  3. Misspelling a letter might cause a situation
  4. Also users might not know exact location -> Placeholder should support exact and similar locations
  5. Default message of invitation helps user to understand he/she is expected to send
  6. Review meetup. Buttons looked like pictures
  7. Change history to past events
  8. Switch upcoming meetings to the left

User 2:

  1. Accept/Reject Page : Availability is not obvious
  2. Hitting Calendar for “Meet up”
  3. Hit’s previous meetups title for meetup

User 3:

  1. Hit Meetup -> cupcake to review Allen (mistake)
  2. Hit History title/Review to review => affordance not good.

User 4:

  1. Calendar on Schedule meetup(Not clear whose calendar)
  2. Show both people’s calendar on schedule Meet-up
  3. If privacy a concern, show only free/busy info
  4. No need of profile  on the home page. IMP
  5. Bump up Previous/History to top of home page. make it more visible
  6. Unclear where the comments in review went
  7. In case of negative comments, don’t show the commenter’s name
  8. Show ratio / % of people who metup and  who left comments - sign of good dog (but people could be lazy)
  9. Important to decide how to handle negative ratings (need to decide)
  10. One possibility is owners can see only positive reviews/comments
  11. Autocomplete map and date time entries on the schedule meetup page
  12. Javascript for modal pop-up for map and date-time on meetup schedule (this can be prototyped using pop ups in the paper prototype)

Summary of Users' Feedback:

Home Page
- History section is not obvious, and links to reviews need better affordance
- Profile Info is not necessary on home page

Find Page
- Search bar placeholder shouldn't only show an address
- Search bar should have autocomplete for better efficiency

Schedule Page
- Unclear which of the two dog's calendars are being shown.
- Calendar needs to indicate the current day
- Separate the time text field from the date text field
- Use autocomplete and/or a modal popup for Location to improve efficiency

Review Page
- Unclear where the reviews are going after posting

Profile
- Negative reviews should not be shown

Second Iteration

Profile Page
- It is unclear what the buttons on the list of upcoming events leads to
- Home page is too cluttered. He suggested removing the calendar and just keeping the list, or having a tab where you can toggle between list view in calendar just like how are search page is with the map
