This document summarizes a carpooling app called CarpoolCruise that is targeted towards residents of Bursley Hall who need transportation to the airport. The app allows users to create posts to find carpool partners and comment on existing posts. Based on user testing, key issues identified were difficulty verifying identities, browsing many posts, and lack of access control. The proposed solutions are adding email verification, improving the UI, and including a search bar to filter posts by travel date.

User Quotes
UI is a bit too boxy. Try making the posts and comments stand out more
I could imagine that it would be difficult to browse through the posts once
there are tons of posts here
Maybe your app should consider covering more locations besides just the
airport
