Alternative text - include a link to the PDF!


We were able to finish our first milestone on time with updated mockups and working prototypes. We decided to switch development platform from Andriod to iOS because we had trouble implementing Google Place API for all Andriod devices. Most of the mockups were revised based on feedbacks we received from last week, and we added more screens based on user tasks. Here is our current progress and plan for the rest of this week.

App
  • Current Journey View [Completed]

  • Thursday - April 30, 2015: Meeting Update

    Feedback:
    1. - suggested to make some storyboards
    2. - knurling/some sort of indicator on the places in the MyJourney list to indicate additional functionality
    3. - below bar (in my trip but not going there today)
    4. - think about situations where the traveler "must be here at 2pm"
    5. - MOBI - crowd sourced trip planning
    6. - something to do with time in the day
