Overview

This objective of this expert review is to identify any major usability problems with the MyFitnessPal App.

Method

This review expands on heuristic evaluations by assessing the design against common usability guidelines and principles of usability-related fields such as cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction using the reviewer’s expertise and past experience in the field.

All issues will be classified into three distinct categories:

High Severity Issues

These are issues that break the user’s journey, introduce high levels of frustration, reflect poorly on the product, or make it impossible to use the functionality of the app.

Medium Severity Issues

The user can still proceed with the use of the app but with significant difficulty.

Low Severity Issues

These issues do not directly impact on the ability of users to progress with the app but should be addressed for overall polish and quality.
