 The Challenge

Challenge & Solution

The most difficult aspect of the app was finding the vehicle’s location, oil change coupon, recalls, roadside assistance, an authorization request, and general announcements from Ford. Users struggled with these tasks because they were not located where users expected and required too much work to find.

What worked well

Users were very excited by many of the features in the app. Users appreciated the ease of understanding and the ability to access important and frequently used functions and features, such as checking fuel level, locking/starting their vehicle, and switching vehicles from Home. Users were especially satisfied when icons and paths were intuitive.

Preference

Users were split in their preference, most notably because each prototype brought with it elements that users liked and disliked. Typically it came down to preference for easy access to controls or vehicle information (oil, fuel, etc.)
