GR6 : User Testing

Design

Overall, we finished our design and implementation since GR4.

TODO: Design in gory detail with screenshots

Overall, we decided to focus on presentation of the timeline. The view and edit functions are functional, but we have not innovated in that area.

We decided to disable selection of the map markers - It is a little practical because the touch screen has so many markers, and the arrow partially obscures them.

We made the following design changes in response to user feedback:

Map/Journal view mode:

• Map is now interactive

• Map icons are now positioned at the center of locations, not right above them

• There is now a direct mapping between entries in the list and entries on the map, using colors

Entry View Mode:

• View now displays a location hint ("near <city>")

• User can make swipe gestures to navigate between consecutive entries

Entry Edit Mode:

• When exiting the edit mode with unsaved changes, user is asked to save or discard the entry. Entries are no longer automatically saved.

Finally, we asked each user to explore the app and give general feedback.
