Lesson 2 - App Perception Experiment

[elanorb]

Hi All,

In preparation for next weeks design session we'd like your help. Below are screenshots of a number of apps and we'd like you to feedback on them. Specifically, we'd like to know how you would answer the following questions for each app:

From the pictures:
1) Who made this app? (beginner, intermediate, pro developer, team of developers,…)
2) What is the app for?
3) Who is the target audience? (You, anyone, specific group: kids, adults, men, women…)
4) How well would you expect this app to perform? (Well, adequate, poor)
5) What would your reaction to this app be? (Purchase, download if free, ignore)

We'll discuss the results in our session on Tuesday.

Thanks. Have a great evening everyone.

Elanor
