User research findings

During the usability tests of Tor VPN 0.6.2:

  • 3/6 participants asked bridges several times to the Bridge Bot because they were unused what happened and what to do next.
  • 1/6 participant didn't understand that the bridges in the text area were from the Bridge Bot and deleted them.

The current design:

  • Lacks feedback on what happens between the user taps "Use bridges" (Screen 2)
  • Lacks feedback on which bridge is configured in the "Bridges" screen (Screen 3)

In comparison, Tor Browser doesn't have these problems:

Ideas

Feedback about the status of which bridge is being used in the "Bridges" screen, at least.
