Focus group feedback

Feedback at a meeting from our ‘focus group’ (i.e., friends at a weekend party) told us three things.

1. Make it more like a note

First, make it obvious that plnkx is all about notes. I thought that was already painfully obvious, but apparently not.

To that end, the home page now sports the “I’m a plnkx note” graphic.

2. Change the name

Second, change the name. Well… probably won’t

3. Don’t make me work

Third, don’t make me work. The idea of pressing check, check, check, or view, view, view to look for notes, is too much.

“I don’t want to have to do anything. I just want to turn it on and have it tell me.”

Why did we abandon the Android app?

Because you don’t need it if you have a browser-based ‘app’. All you need is a browser on your smart phone. And every smart phone comes with a browser. Problem solved! But the drawback was that you then have to press the Check button (now the View button) to go looking for notes.

“I don’t want to have to do anything.”

Got it.

The app is back

So the original Android app is back. (For now iPhone users still have to View. Sorry.)

And I have to say, I like it. The latest version of the app has some improved battery-usage algorithms, which means it uses less smart phone juice. But the coolest part is: you don’t have to do anything. Just turn it on and it let’s you know when there’s a note in sight.

Sweet.

Do you have feedback? If so, let us know.
