Learnability scoreb (P=.04) 74.14 (28.53) 47.50 (42.31)
Usability scorec (P=.06) 83.62 (16.32) 70.00 (24.26)

aThree participants who had severe vision impairment tried by could not test the app.

bOdd numbered items (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) were scored by subtracting 1 from the mean agreement and multiplying by a factor of 2.5. Even numbered items (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) were scored by subtracting the mean agreement from 5 and then multiplying by a factor of 2.5.51

cLearnability is represented by factors 4 and 10.

dUsability is represented by factors 1-3 and 5-9.
