So, my brain is fried. That goes without stating having just returned from NTE (http://nte.org.au) for 2011.
Though, what does that have to do with the subject?
Well. Simply put. Everything. The first few people I talked to at NTE complained about the iPhone app. There was too much data required to get started. I thought it was all useful but they found it a hindrance.
Further, they complained that the values selected weren’t displayed.
You can present information in a lot of ways, but does it really communicate what you would like it to communicate. Does it convey the message you would like? Does it let people know what the next step should be?
These are basic things to do with usability that are often rushed. So my advice, to myself as well as to others is spend the needed time in working through the usability of the app.
Till next time.
