User Interview:
My application is for Melissa Palacios a university student. The problem she wants to solve is to stop missing school deadlines which is caused by her playing games and being on social media instead of working on schoolwork. I think that Melissa suffers from a lack of time management and see an opportunity to create an application in order to monitor and improve her time management so that she can get her schoolwork done in time. My user’s problem can be solved with a time management app that gives her a daily schedule and limits her time on leisure applications. The measurable outcome she wants to achieve is being able to complete all her homework of the day and then be able to play games or go on social media.

Description:
TASK-R is an app to help with time management and avoid unnecessary time on leisure apps that can lead to disruptions in your schedule. The app does this by giving you the feature to limit the time you can use an app every day, alongside a daily schedule in order to keep up with your daily tasks.

Presentation:
I presented my application to Melissa, the university student whose problem gave me the app idea. By presenting my application I hoped to get a better insight into what screens needed improvement design-wise and if my app was easy to use. While Melissa used the app in the test I noticed that the design of the app catered to her taste and it didn’t seem tedious for her to use. When getting feedback she said she liked the ability to scroll in the app management section and the schedule design. She also said it was hard to navigate through the days when having to choose one in the weekly schedule. As a result of this presentation, I will change the day selection from a drop-down list to buttons.
