>> MATT: Hi guys.
This is Matt here, from UX Mastery.
I'm just checking out this new mobile
user testing app called Magitest.
So it's an app that lets you test both
native AND websites without any need for
cables or, you know, elaborate rigs
attached to the phone like you might
have experimented with in the past.
So it uses the microphone and the built-in
camera on the iPhone to record audio from
the participant, and also their facial
expressions.
It's kind of like Silverback,
but for your iPhone.
Silverback's my
favourite user testing tool on the Mac.
Anyway it works pretty well.
I have noticed that it's a little bit slow.
That's possibly because I'm running it
on my iPhone 4.
It's a pretty demanding
thing to ask of the phone if you think
about it: capturing video, and audio,
while rendering a native app or a
website.
And I suppose the only other
misgiving I had was that the phone got
a little bit hot when it was running.
But like I said, I'm pretty impressed
with this app.
I think that it's a
beautiful design, it's a great idea,
and if I ever get round to upgrading
to the iPhone 5, I'm sure I'll see
the performance of it improve.
So, that's my review of Magitest.
You can get it in the app store for
about 26 bucks.
Go and check it out!
