## Heuristic Evaluations

- You should have received an email with the survey link and APKs

    -- Fill out Usability Action Report

- **User control and freedom?**
    -- Does it allow the user to do what he/she wants to?

- **Consistency/Standards?**
    -- Does the application use the same conventions in all its components? Is it consistent with other apps on the same platform?

- **Error prevention?**
    -- Is the application defensive? Does it have a design that protects users from making mistakes?

    -- Are the objects/actions/options of the app easily accessible to newcomers, or do they require memory?
- **Flexibility and Efficiency of Use**

- **Help and Documentation**
    -- Is help easy to find any navigate? Is the information given even helpful?
