Goals

The purpose of this usability test was to:

  • Evaluate the usability of core flows (login, completing a task, navigation).

  • Understand how intuitive the voice assistant feature felt for first-time users.

  • Identify points of friction and opportunities to refine the overall experience.

Process

I tested the prototype with five participants, each with different approaches to managing daily tasks. They were guided through scenarios such as logging in, completing a meditation reminder, and adding a new task using voice command.

To prepare, I began with lo-fi wireframes that mapped the key flows — login, task completion, and voice input. Sketching first allowed me to validate ideas quickly and iterate before building high-fidelity screens.

Research & Insights

What worked well

  • Clean, minimalist interface felt intuitive

  • Simple toggle between “today” and “all tasks” was appreciated

  • Voice assistant feature was seen as useful for daily routines

Where users struggled

  • Unsure when voice recording started or ended

  • Confused about how to stop or redo a recording

  • Wanted editing options for misheard tasks

  • Screen transitions felt slow and caused hesitation

Solution

Based on user feedback, I refined the prototype with changes to improve clarity and trust:

  • Added a listening indicator with moving dot animation

  • Introduced a stop and re-do button for recordings

  • Added edit icon to newly completed tasks

  • Smoothed out transition delays between screens

  • Added affirmations and small animations to reinforce positivity

  • Made completed tasks visually disappear for confirmation

Outcome

Through iteration, My Day evolved from simple sketches into a more fluid and reliable experience. Users now have clear feedback when recording, easy control to edit or re-do, and a streamlined flow that matches the app’s promise: tasks on the go, captured with ease and confidence.
