EdApp is a mobile LMS that caters to the needs of modern users by giving them access to engaging micro-lessons no matter where they are. I conducted several types of tests and found issues with translation in different parts of the app, so I recommend putting more effort into localization testing. Another thing that concerns me is the app’s navigation. It wasn’t always intuitive and effortless, for example, when the back button was missing after starting a course. In some cases, an improper combination of font and background colors made reading content challenging. So usability testing should be prioritized to prevent these kinds of inconveniences for users.
