Usability Test: Observations Difficulties: The button „Find me“ wasn‘t found intuitively. The functionality „Change position“ wasn‘t intuitive. Some users wanted to use „Drag & Drop“ to change the position of the marker. Difficulties to distinguish between the current position (marker) and the mapped points (server). The buttons weren‘t remarkable enough. It isn‘t intuitive to click on the marker to map a point. They had difficulties to read the old version of the help page (confusing, sometimes English terms, bad phrasing) Participatory App23

Ideas for improvements Introduction help (e.g. video) The buttons should be more visible. The popup window should automatically open after finding or changing the position. Add a button „Map point“. Center the new placed point. Offer more types. Use the GPS signal to get a more precise position. Update the GPS position automatically. Use only one language in the help. Use „Drag & Drop“ to change the position Participatory App24
