Feedback: Using Variables for The First Time Demo
Hi Kandice. This was so charming! It's so much fun getting other people's book recommendations—especially when they're tailored to the genres I enjoy most.
Using the Pick Many question option was a clever idea. It made filling out the questions super easy from a user perspective, and I bet it made building the quiz easier too.
As for improvements, two small things came to mind as I was playing with this:
1) I found the sort of warning sound effect on the sci-fi results screen a bit jarring compared to the music for the other genres. Maybe a different music effect or an option to turn it off would be helpful?
2) This is a super small thing, but the visual perspective on the book-shaped Submit button didn't match the image of the bookshelf below it. It's definitely not a must-change thing, but finding a book icon with a similar perspective to the other graphics on the screen could make the visuals fit together even more.
So... any chance you'll do a new version next year with all new books to recommend?!
Hi Bianca!
Thank you so much for reviewing my demo! Oh, that was good feedback about the sci-fi sound. I'll see if I can find something less intense.
I can see what you mean about the book button. I'm going to hunt for something that fits a bit more.
Ooh, what a good idea about doing it every year. What's your genre? Or were you an Outlier? I realized that I had to create an option for people who might be more eclectic in their tastes.
Mine is mystery/thriller but I read lots of books, so it was fun to offer recommendations.
I got the science fiction result my first time doing the quiz, which was definitely a fit for my tastes! But I also like lots of other genres too.
Books are just the best!
