Issues arising with Sun Safe app by co-researchers at Workshop 3.
| Feature tested | Issue or suggestion to improve app | Responsea |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | •Capacity to write own notifications | •Not considered a priority |
| •Ability to set notifications at different times each day | •Modifications made so that different times could be set for weekdays and weekend days | |
| •Capacity to set notifications multiple times a day | •Not considered a priority | |
| •Capacity to modify the way to receive notifications | •Not considered a priority | |
| •More colors | •Not considered a priority | |
| •Increase size | •Not possible within constraints of other features | |
| View this week | •Current UV Index missing | •Change made |
| •Only maximum temperatures shown | •Minimum temperatures not added as temperature is not the focus of app | |
| •Add legends to graphs | •Changes made | |
| •Highlight when sun protection is needed | •Highlighted in a box | |
| •Increase font size | •Change made | |
| •“Onboarding” needed | •Change made | |
| •Capacity to predict the UV Index across the day using the graphs | •Not done as significant coding required to complete this suggestion | |
| •Detailed weather information is missing | •Not added as it is not the focus of app | |
| •Add scale to graphs | •Not done as significant coding needed | |
| Learn | •A few co-researchers wanted more information, while others wanted less | •Most co-researchers are happy with the quantity of information presented |
| •More colors, pictures, and images | •Not considered possible as each section has an icon, followed by information in dot-points, sometimes another image/graphic and 1–3 web links | |
| •Develop internally hosted web pages for more user-friendly content with infographicsb | •New internally hosted websites developed with infographics | |
| •More information on what to use and when to apply sunscreen | •Not considered necessary as 2 web links provided | |
| Sunscreen timer | •Merge with notifications | •Not possible as would require rebuild of app |
| •Capacity to set more times | •Not considered a priority | |
| •“Onboarding” neededb | •Change made | |
| Quiz | •Build and embed into app | •Not possible to retain gamification elements provided by Quizziz platform with current budget |
| •Remove duplicated questions from the “Easy” and “Hard” quizzes | •Change made | |
| •More fun questions | •Change made | |
| •Add prize (e.g. “coins,” avatar) | •Not possible with budget constraints |

Researchers assessed each suggestion, considering budget and other constraints, with a response to each suggestion listed.
b
Also raised during beta testing (see Supplementary Table 5) but not modified until after Workshop 3.
