12. Take-Away from the Interview
- Players want to know who is better
- Very competitive
- Hard to truly know who is better without
documentation
- Putting scores into a chart, with standings
to show which players have more wins is
an easy way to record wins

13. Further Observations
- Players often forget who won games in the past
- Some players refuse to believe that they are not
as good as they think
- Games often become very competitive
- An App would be an easy way to record
- Wins and losses

19. Ideation Session
1) Unmet need or desire:
- Score keeping to know who the better player is
2) How the App would work:
- You enter the score of a game on the score
board, and based on how many points the
winner receives, he or she will accumulate
those points in the standings, done automatically
3) Who the App is for:
- The App idea came from video game players,
however any one looking to keep track of scores
over time can use it

20. Research on Smartphone Apps
“Scoreboard”, the App,
allows you to keep
score of a game,
however it ends there.
Slight ability to
customize, however
very plain and simple.

21. Research on Smartphone Apps
“Easy Scores” allows the user
to add up wins for whatever
players they enter.
My App will be a combination
of both, allowing the user to
keep track of various statistics
as well as who the better
player is.
