In order to make this app as user friendly as possible, I conducted user-testing. I first stated with card sorting to create my lo-fi. Then while using the lo-fi wire frame I asked the participants in the study to complete some task. In the drop down menus below they are linked to the page.
Card Sorting
The participants where asked to create groups based on what should go on each page. Home page, search page, and your profile.
Script
“Hello, first of all thank you for agreeing to participate in this experiment. Just so you know we are not testing you, we are testing how easy this app is to use. The app is for natural medicines and plant remedies. You may end the test at any point. I encourage you to be open to tell me the things you find confusing or not clear. The test will consist of three tasks which you will be asked to complete. I can not help you or hint at the answers because I am testing to see how successful and understandable the app is on its own. It would also be extremely helpful if you could speak out loud as you complete the tasks. Are there any questions you have before we begin?”
