Is it consistent with other apps on the same platform? - **H5: Error prevention** -- Is the app defensive? Does it have a design that protects users from making mistakes? ---  - **H6: Recognition rather than recall** -- Are the objects/actions/options of the app easily accessible to newcomers, or do they require memory? - **H7: Flexibility and efficiency of use** -- Can users customize the app to their needs? - **H8: Aesthetic and minimalist design** -- Is the app cluttered? Does it contain only relevant components? - **H9: Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors** -- When users run into any problem, will it be easy for them to fix it? - **H10: Help and documentation** -- Is help easy to find and navigate? Is the information given even helpful?
