This document summarizes user testing of an app called StudySpace that helps students find new places to study on campus. Five students from different colleges tested the app and provided feedback. They found the most important features were finding new study locations and accessing location information. Some issues noted were not knowing what to enter for building name and it taking too long to enter location hours. Overall, users said the app would be more helpful with more users and that it fills a need to more easily find study spaces on campus. Future plans discussed adding check-ins, spam moderation, and user profiles to the app.
