Try the pet app

Three short tasks in an early version of the app, then a few questions. There are no wrong answers. I'm testing the design, not you.

Step 1 of 5 · About you

  • 01A few quick questions about you and your pets.
  • 02Three short tasks in the app. Each opens on your screen, and you tap through it like a real app.
  • 03A few final questions. Your name is optional.
What kind of pets do you have? (check all)
How do you keep track of their care now? (feeding, meds, vet visits)

Please answer the second question to continue.

Step 2 of 5 · Task 1

You just brought home a ball python named Noodle. Add him to the app.

Start on the welcome screen. Tap through until he's with your pets. Photos are placeholders for now.

Open the app

It opens in a new tab. Come back here when you're done.

Were you able to do it?
The app guessed what kind of animal he was. How did that feel?

Please answer both questions to continue.

Step 3 of 5 · Task 2

You fed Noodle this morning and noticed his eyes look cloudy. Record both in the app.

Start on your list of pets.

Open the app

It opens in a new tab. Come back here when you're done.

Were you able to do it?
Do the care options match what you actually do?

Please answer both questions to continue.

Step 4 of 5 · Task 3

Noodle looks dull and his eyes are cloudy. Use the app to check on him, and read what it tells you.

Start on Noodle's page. The camera is pretend, so just tap through.

Open the app

It opens in a new tab. Come back here when you're done.

Were you able to do it?
How much would you trust what the check told you?
Not at allCompletely

Please answer both questions to continue.

Step 5 of 5 · Wrapping up

How likely are you to use an app like this?
