#FITBIT DASHBOARD FREE#
What is a better way to get some quick and free usability results than carrying out a guerrilla usability test? I decided to follow IDEO’s Human-Centered Design and Lean UX Design Thinking process to make sure that my design decisions were supported by user research and feedback. So I decided to put my UX designer hat on and venture into the wild to see if anyone else shares my problems and if I could make any improvements to the app.

It’s a great tracker and motivates me to be more active, but I have encountered a few problems while using their iOS app. Over the years, I have tried a few fitness trackers and my current obsession is Fitbit. We are called the general consumers of the multi-billion dollar worth of wearable fitness tracker market.

I, along with most people I know, are the third type of person.
