Grid User ability test results

This document summarizes user testing of mobile reading applications. Competitive usability tests of Pulse and Flud found that users wanted customizable content and efficient grid views but found some designs confusing with small buttons and unclear categories. Paper prototyping of a new application logo included sharing options and testing found it was learnable and efficient though users had some errors and feedback. The process involved identifying user needs, designing specifications, paper prototyping, testing, and final product validation.
