LikeMe is a mobile app designed to help young professionals living together connect with others who have similar interests. User research found that many young professionals living with housemates experienced negative impacts to their wellbeing and preferred communication through apps like WhatsApp. The LikeMe app allows users to create a profile, find groups of other users with shared interests, and communicate with their housemates. Several rounds of user testing were conducted to refine the app design and user experience based on feedback.

16. USER TESTING OF THE APP
USER TESTING
A number of different using testing
phases were conducted with various
users. They had set tasks they had to
complete for example register as a
new user. Once they had completed
this task they were asked for their
feedback. User observations were
conducted to see how users
interacted with the flow of the app
and overall navigation.
A number of changes were made to
the prototype including changing the
transitions between screens.
