Think - Pair - Share

• User-centred design means putting the people who will use the app first! It's all about making sure the app is easy and fun for them to use.

• Simple: Keep it simple, like a recipe with just a few ingredients. We want our app to be easy to use without too many confusing buttons or menus.

• Clear: Make everything easy to see, like big letters on a sign. We want people to understand what's going on in our app without any problems!
  

• Intuitive: Make it easy to figure out, like a game you can start playing right away. Our app should be straight forward, with no need for instructions.

• Lets look at some examples of user friendly health and fitness apps
