This was also a very easy task. The user typed the movie into the search bar on the home screen and was able to immediately rate it 10/10.

Add a movie that is releasing this weekend to your watchlist

Time: 1 minute 48 seconds

The User used the knowledge of the menu that was gained in task 2 and used it to find upcoming movies. After searching the movies for one that was appealing, the user was able to add it to their watchlist after a couple seconds of looking for the button.

Create a list of 5 movies that you like.

Time: 4 minutes 53 seconds

This was the hardest task that the user was asked to complete. There is no button for this in th menu, which is where the user searched initially. After returning to the homepage the user was still unsure where to look until they clicked on their profile. Under their profile they found a button that led to their lists, but they did not see the button that was for creating new lists because it blended in with an advertisement.
