FREE SCORECARD · NO ACCOUNT NEEDED

App grading scorecard.

Record what you actually observed in one supported build and journey. The result is your self-assessment, with evidence coverage and three suggested next tests.

Clarity

The app's purpose is clear

Ask a fresh participant what the app helps them do before explaining it.

The main action is easy to find

Give an outcome to reach, then observe where the participant looks first.

First use

A new user can finish the first task

Start from a fresh test account and attempt one core journey using dummy data.

Permission refusal has a usable next step

Decline an optional permission and check the explanation, recovery and available actions.

Reliability

Work survives a restart

Save a harmless sample, restart the app and try finding the same item again.

A failed action gives a clear recovery

Use a safe failed request or offline state; inspect the message and retry path.

Interaction

Key text remains readable

Check a supported small screen and larger text setting for clipped instructions or controls.

Important controls can be reached and understood

Check labels, focus order and touch access through the chosen journey on a real supported device.

Trust

Costs and commitments are visible before agreement

Review the offer and cancellation information before any commitment; use sandbox purchase flows only.

A user can find help and data information

Find the business support route and privacy information from the app without sharing personal records.

How this grading rubric works

Each observed pass earns two points, needs work earns one and not checked earns zero. Ten equally weighted checks give 20 possible points, converted to 100. Read the score alongside the number checked: missing evidence lowers the score but does not prove failure.

This original rubric is a planning aid, not a formal audit, store approval or public star-rating prediction. Record device, build and evidence in your own private report. The form only submits checklist choices; it does not need app credentials or personal records.

Have someone else attempt the journey.

Use the unclear or untested items to prepare a private brief. Community testers can provide observations and optional star ratings after submitting their reports. Availability depends on participation; a high self-score does not guarantee a favorable community opinion.
