Thank you for assisting with the testing of this new app!
The purpose of HoardIt is to store media files and notes in an organised manner, and find them quickly.
This is a brief intro to HoardIt, providing limited information on how to use it. The aim is to test how intuitive the app is, especially on first use, without the need for instructions. Knowing that HoardIt is an app that stores mediia and notes, and being able to easily organise and find the content is the starting point for knowing how the app functions.
You can create folders to categorise your records, enabling you to sort, search and find them again through the use of filters such as Favourites, Color annotation and personalised category Lists.
A folder can contain sub folders, while records can contain TEXT notes, images (jpeg, jpg, png) and documents (pdf). It's also possible to add movies (mpeg, mov) and play them back.
Images can be annoted in the built-in editor, and saved.
PDF documents can be viewed with the built-in viewer.
Lock folders and files for greater security, and unlock them with a pin, or finger biometrics (Android) if active on your device.
Create folders and records at root level, or inside existing folders.
Double tap a folder to edit it's properties.
Take photo's and add to records.
Share images/photos from other apps such a gallery into HoardIt, selecting the record to add the shared image to.
Known Limitations
- Account email address format not yet validated on HoardIt startup. Please be accurate when entering your email address.
- Unable to save pdf annotations.
- Reverse camera not tested.
Feedback Focus
- Feedback needed on the clarity and understanding of adding ROOT Folders and Records, adding sub-folders and records to sub-folders.
- Feedback needed on overall intuitiveness. e.g. obvious to tap on folder to expand, or tap record to open? Record buttons obvious enough to know what to tap to add specific item suc has add image, add document or add text entry?
- Feedback needed on overall user experience (UX). Fonts clear? Color palette - Light/Dark (switch in Settings). Is the tapping of a Folder to expand, or record tap to open responsive enough?
- Please let me know of any bugs, even the smallest of niggles, such as color contrast, miss-spelling, typos and grammatical mistakes.
Finally, feel free to give me suggestions on what can be done to improve functionality.
