I user tested the app on a family member this morning, because it was a whole new app, i thought it was necessary to user test again. The feedback was that the 'add new task' section needs to be clearer, and that was about it. Today we met up at uni to finalise the blog, thankfully all the changes were pretty minor, but it did take us most of the day.
-We added a whole new settings section, that would have sliding bars to adjust the settings, but the bars are not functional because of restrictions from inDesign. The 'notification range' bar adjusts how far away from a place you would have to be to get a notification, this eliminates problems such as someone living in a rural area would need to set the scale higher, or someone with limited transport might put the scale lower.
The 'search words' bar allows you to change to amount of search words needed for the app to recognise an item and search its database.
-We changed the test entry box up the top to a more subtle, but still readable plus button. We did this because we wanted this page to be about the list itself, rather than having a big 'add new task at the top of the page.
We also added captions to the bars to give the scale a bit more readability, we also added small explanations of the scale at the bottom of the page.
-With the 'w' 'd' 'm' , they represent week, day and month. We thought about changing these to the whole word, but we liked the simplicity of it and we thought that once you had used the app, you would pretty quickly know what the letters stood for, especially with the addition above the bar that says 'select time frame'
Arie has a really good explanation of some of the other parts of our final app on his blog here -huttonarie.wordpress.com/2014/04/02/app-interface-stage-5-developing-new-design-recall/
