We wanted to find out about the importance of security in chat apps for students at our age. Further we were interessted in generelly expectations they have from chat apps and what their problems/whishes are. | We wanted to find out about the importance of security in chat apps for students at our age.

For that purpose we tested the app "ChatSecure" with our target group, accomplished usability tests and so developed a varied design to improve the process of creating an account and of signing in. | For that purpose we tested the app "ChatSecure" with our target group, accomplished usability tests and so developed a varied design to improve the process of creating an account and of signing in. | ||

We wanted to figure out the differences between the students of Arts, Fine Arts/Design and Science/Engineering. So we chose people from our social environment. Because we are students from different courses of studies (Arts, Fine Arts/Design and Science/Engineering) we had the chance to interview these types of students. Thereby we had a huge spectrum of users. | We wanted to figure out the differences between the students of Arts, Fine Arts/Design and Science/Engineering.

Moreover the buttons are difficult to find on the interface. | It's hard and circular to login with one of your accounts, because there are too many steps until you are finally logged in.
