Week 5 : 23andMe is Weee! + LinkedIn not in-tuitive

Week 5:

GOOD UX: 23 and Me

This is a great app for retrieving information, researching your results, and constantly being updated. It is all real information about your body and health history all pulled from a blood sample. They app plays like a video game with information about what food to avoid, if you're prone to cancer, and even tracking down relatives that you didn't know about. The app is constantly adding new information as well, so you can learn more and more about yourself and family lineage.






BAD UX: Linkedin

I only say this because I think the mobile app version isn't intuitive when it comes to job searching. Nearly every time I go on the app to look for jobs, I can't easily find my saved jobs or applied for jobs. Also I feel like if I save a job posting on my phone, it isn't necessarily on the website version.

Week 6 : Instagram is easy + Buzzfeed is hard

Week 6: GOOD UX: Instagram Instagram seemingly recreated Facebook, stripped out all of the content, and distilled the experience down to what people truly want and have time for, pictures alone. This model is still relevant and is the app that I can always look at for just a few minutes. Always updating, always changing, never boring. BAD UX: Buzzfeed I really have trouble with overly busy app screens. There is too much hierarchy among the headlines, subheads, and body copy. I feel like it visually resembles a classified ad, but is even harder to soak in the info.
