Tools Used Sketch to create interface designs Small Learning Curve No support for native-looking (iOS/Android) interface controls Marvel to make static screens interactive Transitions and Navigation Lacks features to type in text input areas, click on checkboxes, scroll, etc. Detracts slightly from prototypes usability

Limitations Lack of full interactivity All data in app is hard-coded, no wizard of oz techniques Everything is fixed (subject, selected tutor, etc.) Users cannot enter text, click on checkboxes, scroll, etc. Lack of complete coverage for all interface screens Not every single button is functional
