Asking End Users about online/mobile tools development direction
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2012 4:51 pm
On another thread the discussion continues about the ever expanding gulf between the IOS and Android versions of the tools. This past Sunday I was shown a survey that is accessed through the lds tools feedback mechanism on the ios platform for lds tools.
There is a survey on the IOS version of LDS Tools that is asking end users about what they want to see developed next? This same survey is not on the Android.
Question. In what myopic view of the world does it make sense to HIDE a survey of end users about the future direction of a tool in the feedback mechanism that hardly anyone would use. You actually must stumble on it to find it.
Why isn't it sent as an email to all Leaders in the church?
Why isn't it sent in a Technology Newsletter?
Why isn't it in a MLS system message to every unit?
Why isn't it posted to the Tech board in the forums?
Why isn't it posted as a blog item on the LDSTECH homepage?
Why isn't it front and center on LDS.org?
Why isn't it a subject of a Tech Broadcast in place of a tool nobody can access yet?
Why isn't it linked to the online Directory in the feedback mechanism?
Why isn't the android version linking to a similar survey or that survey?
Just off the top of my head I rolled out a number of places that could be posted for greater distribution of input from end users of the system.
I am thrilled that we are being asked, don't get me wrong here, but why keep it buried and hidden from plain view?
Will someone please post the survey to this message thread so our voices can be heard. I would, but out of a personal choice of technology bigotry I refuse to own anything made by an Apple.
