RESEARCH

There are plenty of time management/to-do list apps out there but most of them had not-so-great user interfaces. Something as simple as marking a task as complete or creating a new event proved to be a difficult task. I aimed to overcome these cumbersome barriers and make an app that was both easy-to-use and linked the user up with their friends so scheduling could be easier.

USER PERSONAS

APP FEATURES

Allows users to create their own categories (i.e. Concerts, meetings, interviews, whatever YOU want)

Home page will display “You have X amount of events today” Reminds you on day of event or you can customize it to remind you whenever you want.

Clicking on a day on your calendar opens up a collapsable page of what events you have that day.

Let’s you assign levels of importance

Let’s you know if there is a conflict with any other existing events Things can be set as daily reminders (laundry, soccer practice, working out)

Can sync up with existing schedules (your g-mail or Facebook account)

Can view compare your schedule with somebody else’s to see when you’re both available to get coffee together (no more empty promises)

Completely customizable interface - color, order of importance, reminder settings, etc.

USER TEST #1

BRYN

First four prompts went off without a hitch

User made it to “Create Event” page but the button didn’t work.

When the user went to delete an appointment - she was confused because I have an event listed twice. The delete function wasn’t linked properly

User went to Andrew’s profile right away but hit “compare schedules” instead of “search by date” - once they realized that it wasn’t clickable they moved on to search by date.

BRITTANY

Sign up was a success

Login was a success

User went to compare schedules button and not the details of Today’s events

Creating Event was a success

Check schedule by date was a success

Delete button still doesn’t work

Searched date on Andrew’s profile successfully



ANDREW

Clicked the “You have X Events today” before he clicked “view Details”

Looked for BBQ in leisure category rather than click on notifications

Went to compare schedule and not appointments button

Went to “Compare Schedules” instead of Friends list - so maybe rephrase question or link Compare schedules button

USER TEST #2

User went to Appointments instead of clicking the circle with Today's events

User went to Appointments instead of creating an event from the homepage

Delete Event was linked improperly - didn't link to anything
