Try leave your first spot comment on project

Maybe you have noticed the way of leaving comment in FileSquare has changed a little. Besides clicking and dragging to create an area, now you can also create a single spot by clicking on the design once.

Compare the two forms of annotation

1. Click and drag

You can choose an area by clicking and dragging

2. Single Click

You can also create a spot by a single click

Why use spot comment?

The new spot comment is better when you want to point to a tiny spot instead of a big area. Single spot can also avoid being overlapped by each other if more than one comment is made on the same place.

Try it by yourself

Open one of your projects and leave your first comment with spot, feel any difference?

Record on-screen video and conduct usability test easily

With the new update of FileSquare iOS app, you can now conduct usability test for your prototype. The app will record how users interact with your prototype as videos, so you can review them later from the web app. And here is how it works:

1. Invite testing user by email

If you are the owner of one project, you’ll see a new button called “Usability test” at the upper right corner. You can invite users to test your prototype by emails.

All testing users invited will be listed. You can check if they have recorded any sessions under “Recorded Sessions”.

2. Emails for the testing users.

They will receive an email and the email will direct them to the project or app store to download the app if they haven’t done so already. Simple and clear.

3. Test usability on iPhone

record
Users can interact with the clickable mockups like using a real app, and FileSquare mobile app will record the process as a video.

Check the video from website

You can review all the videos by clicking “View all recorded sessions” on usability test tab.

This feature is ideal for conducting usability test before the app actually got built and learning how clients interact with the app prototype. You will improve your app design by understanding your interactive mockups better.

The Delight.io integration

The on-screen recording feature is powered by delight.io. It gives developers and designers insights on how users interact with their apps and helps to improve the user experience and avoid confusing controls.

Try it out

You can login and start exploring the new feature by yourself! If you don’t have an account yet, sign up or try our demo project. And don’t forget to let us know how you like the feature on our forum!
