  • Users were confused as to how to add and delete items that were not text (in particular, photos). Because there were no visual cues for adding photos and contacts, it is possible that users would not know about those features at all. Since we included "add a photo" in our tasks, users generally did so with the "Menu" button at the bottom. However, no users tried to do so by pressing and holding in the text box.
  • Users were also confused as to how to delete non-text items (in particular, photos). The most common way people tried to delete photos was just by tapping on the photo, but that does nothing. What we intended was for people to delete the photo by moving the cursor to right after the photo and pressing backspace. We did not implement an Android keyboard into our prototype (they just wrote text with a pen on the transparencies), which likely affected people's actions. Users also tried to delete photos by pressing and holding on photos, which also did nothing in Version 1.
  • Users tried to move photos around my clicking and dragging on them. We did not think to implement this in our design, but we will add it to our list of features as it is a convenient way to edit posts.
  • Users did not attempt to change the time or location of posts. This is likely because we did not include that in any of our tasks.
