Final Testing - Manus

Overview: In our last class meeting with Phil. We brought up that we were unsure of the customisable interests element to our app. Phil recommended that we do some last minute testing to see if people liked it. Participants: Sammy: Female 38 Joan: Female 61 Neil: Male 58 Rónán: Male 23 What were they shown: I explained the basic concept of the app to them and showed them my scribbles of the initial "which of these elements interest you" survey that would pop-up once you started the app for the first time.
