Notes - User 3 - Godis

* I can search for a crop name
* Started with filter icons right away
* Understood veg/fruit/plants tabs
* I can see all the things I saved
* Want notes to be timestamped
* Like the growing conditions feature
* Feature idea: nutritional info for seeds, health benefits
* Wants arrows on the carousel
* Want a back button
* How much space do I need to grow a specific seed?
* What would be good to plant in my current season? Labels on crop type
* Page for all seeds that are in season for my location
* What are the implications of each category in my growing conditions? 
* This is good for experienced gardeners but not for beginners 
* Want a FAQ section
* Social media element where you can share with community and upload photos of your growing, leave reviews on seeds
* Want to set min and max prices in price filter
* Clear all / reset on filters button
* How do I go back to where I was from anywhere in the app? Back button 
* Not clear how to close notes
* There's no buy option on the single product page to take you to the seed site!!!!!!!! Maybe it should also be on the product listing inside the search results on each product card!
* Company name not totally clear at the top? Should be added to homepage?

Notes - User 4 - Steve

* Does it have a slide functionality? User liked the variety of filter conditions (Soil, water, climate, type)
* Asked the business model for the app, what are the motivations behind it? Commission? Promoting organic farming?
* Not sure about the customer journey about how people purchase seeds
* User normally goes to B&Q, not enough info growing plants this way. The more info the better to help people who don't know much about gardening.
* Possibly a user subscription? Community, connections, advice and feedback, like a reddit for gardening!
* Smooth, clean UI, keep this for when the app is functional
* Will this be a web app? Best for cost effective development
* User had trouble locating 'find all seeds'
* Dropdown menu is quite confusing, keep being redirected to this. Possibly a search bar added to dropdown menu.
* User added beetroot to wishlist easily.
* User found the notes and added a note.
* User filtered through price list easily.
* User filtered through search results easily.
* User navigated to the buy all seeds button from wishlist.
* General comments - easy to use, clean UI.
* Only initially difficult to find search all seeds. This should be clear on every page.
* User's father does a lot of gardening, it could help improve people's experience of growing conditions or will it be only for tech savvy people? 
* It would be good to know the vitamins and minerals needed to help growing plants.
* Subscription based pricing feature.
* Where are people purchasing seeds right now? How is this different? Marketplace for seeds? Aesthetically make buttons where you want users to go much more prominent.
