Unfortunately the group task of using HP reveal for a treasure hunt didn’t go to plan with the app bugging out, people not doing it, and lack of understanding of the app.
It did however, highlight the issues with uniformity still faced by designers today with apps becoming an ever increasingly large part of our lives and degrees. I believe the requirements to make an understandable and efficient user interface, which is necessary for any user, was not complete. It also seems more designer/user talks that could have better helped design the app itself.
Bugs in the app were a problem for me and will always be an issue for those designing in software, with new technologies, updates and products on many different platforms release daily. I did some research on apps and found in 2018, 194 Billion apps were downloaded, and there are currently 2.6 Million android and 2.2 million I.O.S. apps.

The HP app was overall buggy and also the image quality was in some of the animation awful. It could have been a problem with my phone due to it being an IOS-Andriod hybrid.
Yeah Nah Nah Yeah
