Try the orchid 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 orchids.
  • 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.
How long have you grown orchids?
How do you keep track of their care now?

Please answer both questions to continue.

Step 2 of 5 · Task 1

You just brought home a new orchid named Rosie. Add her to the app.

Start on the welcome screen. Tap through until she's in your collection.

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 orchid she was. How did that feel?

Please answer both questions to continue.

Step 3 of 5 · Task 2

You watered Rosie this morning and spotted a new root tip. Record both in the app.

Start on your collection.

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

Rosie's leaves look a little wrinkled. Use the app to check on her, and read what it tells you.

Start on Rosie'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
