StarSightings App: Invite Friends

addme

This UX project was done for StarSightings iPhone app

 

Situation

On StarSightings iPhone app, the ability to invite friends via Facebook connections is not available. Some users may want to “invite” friends from their social media account to chat and share photos on StarSightings.

 

Task

Create a user experience that leverages the user’s Facebook account so they may invite friends via Facebook request API.

Activity

 

1) Gather best practices and research Facebook request API specifics

There are many ways Facebook allows friends to “connect” to one another. We’ve identified best practices by testing popular apps and decided on the appropriate development implementation for StarSightings.

2) Identify all invite friends user scenarios

Wrote user narrative to identify all scenarios. This helps list different system states during the invite task (guest, login, unregistered).
