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
