- This design allows you swipe in both directions. If the user swipes backwards they can see all the previous suggestions the application made and they can go back to one they liked but might have skipped by accidentally or one that seems appealing in retrospect.
- The Never! button makes it clear to the user that pressing this button removes the option forever unlike an X icon which the user might think is more temporary
- The menu provides an undo delete option which allows the user to quickly undo a press to a the Never! button. It also will show you the list of suggestions you said never to so that you can add them back at any time in the future. This safety feature makes sure that the user can change their mind about never wanting to see a suggestion either right after or days later. (see picture 5)
Efficiency:
- Swiping between cards is very efficient because the user doesn’t have to target a small button to go through suggestions.
- Having the menu bar of filter categories permanently at the bottom of the main suggestions screen allows the user to quickly see which categories they have selected as well as select new filters without pulling open an extra menu
- Showing one suggestion at a time means the text can be larger and the buttons can also be larger so it is easy to view, read, and click on.
- The undo delete button is a quick way to get back the most recent option you pressed never to rather than scrolling through the list of all deleted suggestions.
- Users who make decisions based off visual stimuli don’t need to click on the suggestion before getting a visual of what the suggestion is offering.
- Users who make decisions based off of name recognition don’t need to click on the suggestion before getting a title of what the suggestion is offering.
Cons:
Learnability:
- The user might not understand that the bottom bar on the suggestions page is for filtering categories. Even though the icons will obviously be buttons, they might not realize what the buttons are for.
- The menu bar of filter categories uses icons for the different suggestion types (books, places to go, food, movies) which might not be as evident to all users as words would be.
- The undo delete button and show deleted listings button are accessible by pressing the android menu button but the user might not think to press that button to see what options they have.
