Cassie’s ReactionsWhen I showed her how to sign up, she felt like it

was very easy to do, because there aren’t excessive fields to fill out when registering an account

She really liked the simplicity of the phone call process, with only a few key buttons on the screen, not to confuse people

Thought it was neat that we’re that advanced enough to be able to screen share with another person, which is majorly beneficial to college students wanting to help with homework

Comparisons to other connection software: Facetime

• Facetime connections tend to be slower

• Connections must be made through Wi-Fi

• No typing option• Only be done off of

Apple products
