Imagine that you are an individual named Alice, currently using Discover.Me. 
You would like to find out if your friend, Zoey Zeta, is currently in your list of friends

Imagine that you are an individual named Alice, currently using Discover.Me.
You know that a friend of yours, Zoey Zeta, is not currently in your list of friends. You would like to add her as a friend in the application.

Imagine that you are an individual named Alice, currently using Discover.Me. 
It is currently 4:30 P.M. in the afternoon, and you would like to invite your friends Zoey and Christine for Coffee at Building 26.

Imagine that you are an individual named Alice, currently using Discover.Me.
It is currently 4.30 P.M. in the afternoon, and you would like to invite only your friends Zoey and Christine for Coffee at a location close-by to all 3 of you.

Imagine that you are Zoey, currently using Discover.Me.
You have received a notification from Alice, who has invited you to an event. You know that you are only free at 6:00 P.M. You would like to propose a change to the event time to meet at 6:00 P.M. instead.

Imagine that you are Zoey, currently using Discover.Me.
You have received a notification from Alice, who has invited you to an event. You know that would only want to attend an event if it's held in Building 11. You would like to propose a change to the event location to meet at Building 11 instead.

• 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.

Users no longer had problems identifying the top row of buttons as buttons they should be tapping on to launch sub-menus, indicating that they were providing better affordances as buttons. Users also were drawn to the search bar in order to identify if a friend was currently present in the Friend List. The idea that the search bar should be used to look for someone, and not simply check the Friend List indicated that the users had a different conceptual model as to how the system should be used. Some wanted the menu icons to perhaps have text, or better information scent, to make them confident that they were going into the right menu. The icons used were generally recognized as "Friends", "Calendar" and "Conversation", indicating that there was some external consistency in their usage. As a result, most users learnt by doing/exploring.

Most users had no difficulty identifying the ""-icon being the button that had to be used in order to begin adding a new friend. Their familiarity with the flow and usage of the menu indicated good +internal and external consistency.

While some users made use of the suggested locations for the meetings, some preferred to specify their own locations, and were unsure of whether the system would support their actions, indicating a lack of affordance, and confusing the user.

Users found the instructions on the menu useful in accomplishing their tasks, though they did spend time reading it. We suspect that expert users will not experience the same lack of efficiency. Some were unsure about the behavior that would occur in order to propose a change to the event location, but were assured when they found the word "Propose" used. The "Revert Change" button being greyed out confused some users, and one user commented that changing it to "Undo" might be clearer, indicating a slight lack in external consistency, because we were not speaking the user's language.
