YouTube Surveys: Have you heard of Coca-Cola?

This preroll survey on YouTube.com had me cracking up. 

Do you think it was paid for by Cide Cola, or Loma Cola?

Google result: Must include control

The Identity Verification process "had some trouble" so they asked additional questions, but the numbering started over.

None of the icons were clickable.

Planner app - Onboarding

These are screen grabs from Planner app. 

Screen 1


Screen 2


Screen 3


When I tapped the "Get started" button on the previous screen, the allow access pop-over appeared. 


When I tapped allow, this is what I saw. 


This flow of Allow Access pop-over can be startling since they have not expressed any benefits of allowing notifications.

Tim Hortons - Allow Access

When first setting up the Tim Horton's app they trigger a branded pop-over:

When I tapped "Allow" that triggered the system's allow access pop-over to appear. 

This approach is good since it eases the user into allowing access. 

I am curious to know what would have happened if I clicked "Don't Allow" on the branded pop-over, maybe they would ask me later.

Waze App - Taking HOV lane or toll road?

When I opened the Waze app this pop-over appeared.

When I tapped the "Add pass" button I was directed to this screen.

I know they want to promote a new feature to everyone, but shouldn't they know if I travel along HOV and toll roads from my route history? 

Kudos to them however for showing the Local passes right away and then hiding the other, probably less used, passes under a button.

Virgin Pulse app - Allow Access

This series of screen grabs are from part of the onboarding flow for Virgin Pulse.






This is my favorite part. They provide a nice message to let the user know the benefits of connecting their phone to the service. By providing the Connect button it lets the user know there is about to be a pop-up.






This pop-up appeared after I tapped the Yes, Please! button

Google maps - Mario Kart

Apparently, it was Mario Day on March 10th.

MS Flow: Get Started (and agree to terms) button

When logging in to MS Flow for the first time you must select your country.
Then when you click Get Started button you are also agreeing to the terms.

They let you know that they will send you promotions and that you can unsubscribe at any time.
They conveniently place this message in small type, and far from the button.
It would seem they are balancing business goals and user goals very well.

OneNote: Welcome Pop-over

When I first launched OneNote online, this Welcome pop-over appeared. 

Office 365: Feature Overview

This feature overview pop-over appeared when I first signed into Office 365. 









On the last step the right carousel control used to be an arrow, now it is a checkmark to indicate the tour is complete. 

Tim Hortons: Location request heads up

The Tim Horton's app, when first launching included a branded location request pop-over that eased me into saying yet to the iOS location request pop-over.
