    Missing Clear Page or Section Indicator

    Major
    Orientation Missing (Environment/Role/Location)
    The Problem
    There is no clear visible indication of the current page or section within the main content area, aside from the highlighted tab at the top. Users may struggle to understand their exact location or context within the app.
    Why it Matters
    Without a clear location indicator, users may feel lost or uncertain about their current section, which can reduce engagement and increase frustration.
    How to Fix
    Add a clear, consistent header or breadcrumb display that confirms the user's current page or section within the app.

    Ambiguous function of '리그 참여하기' button

    Major
    Flow & States Completeness
    The Problem
    The '리그 참여하기' (Join League) button is prominently displayed but its immediate outcome or next step is not clear from the screen. It is not clear what will happen or what the user should do after tapping it.
    Why it Matters
    Users might hesitate or feel uncertain about what happens if they tap the button, causing confusion or hesitation in flow progression.
    How to Fix
    Provide a clear indication or tooltip of what happens when the '리그 참여하기' button is tapped, or label the button with an action verb and a clear next step, such as 'Join a League now' or 'Select League to Join'.

    No visible call to action in salary cap and draft tab

    Major
    Flow & States Completeness
    The Problem
    In the salary cap tab ('샐러리캡'), the list of leagues is shown with names and dates but there is no visible explicit next action other than clicking each list item. There is no guidance or button for further actions inside this tab.
    Why it Matters
    Users may not know what to do next after viewing the list, resulting in a dead-end feel unless they infer tapping each item leads to a next step.
    How to Fix
    Add a clear next step or call to action for each league item, such as a 'Join', 'View Details', or 'Enter' button right on the list or an explainer message guiding what to do next.

    Low contrast for secondary text below '학교대항전' button

    Moderate
    Color & Contrast
    The Problem
    The secondary text '진행상황 확인하기' is light grey on a black background, likely below WCAG AA contrast ratio for normal text.
    Why it Matters
    Users with moderately low vision or in bright environments may have difficulty reading this explanatory text.
    How to Fix
    Increase the contrast by using a lighter, more saturated grey or white color for the secondary text to meet WCAG AA standards (4.5:1 for normal text).

    Unclear Date Context in League List

    Moderate
    Ambiguous Date/Time/Timezone
    The Problem
    Dates in the list (e.g., '6/9', '6/9 - 6/14') lack context about the year or timezone, which could confuse users about when events occur. The format is short and may be misunderstood without additional clarifying labels.
    Why it Matters
    Users might misinterpret when leagues start or end, leading to possible missed participation or confusion about event timing.
    How to Fix
    Add explicit year or a tooltip explaining date context, or use a more descriptive date format (e.g., 'Jun 9 - Jun 14') with timezone if relevant.
    Issue Highlights

    Insufficient Hierarchy Between League Titles and Dates

    Moderate
    Content Readability & Clarity
    The Problem
    The league titles and their corresponding dates use similar font sizes and weights, making it harder to visually distinguish event names from their time spans.
    Why it Matters
    Users might struggle to quickly scan and differentiate between league names and their scheduling, slowing comprehension.
    How to Fix
    Increase font size or weight for league titles or use distinct styling such as bold for titles and lighter for dates to create clear separation.
    Issue Highlights

    Inconsistent button styles between selected and unselected tabs

    Moderate
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    The tab labeled '샐러리캡' uses a dark blue background with white icon and text, while the adjacent tab '드래프트' uses a white background with dark text and icon. The style contrast between these two tabs is sharp and inconsistent in terms of fill and border, which can confuse users about their relation.
    Why it Matters
    Consistent tab styles help users understand the relationship between options and which option is active. Inconsistent styling can cause confusion and reduce UI clarity.
    How to Fix
    Make tab button styles consistent by using similar border radius, padding, and icon treatment. Use color or weight differences rather than completely different background fills for selected and unselected states.

    Vague '리그 참여하기' button label

    Moderate
    Conversion & Actions
    The Problem
    The primary CTA button at the top of the league list is labeled '리그 참여하기' (Join League), but it is unclear which specific action the user will take or what the next step involves.
    Why it Matters
    Users may hesitate to click the button due to unclear action, reducing conversions and interaction with the league feature.
    How to Fix
    Make the call-to-action label more specific and descriptive, such as 'Join a New League' or 'Create/Join League', to clarify the next step for users.

    Bottom navigation icons are spaced closely

    Moderate
    Accessibility & Input Ergonomics
    The Problem
    The three bottom navigation icons — Home, Feed, and Data — appear close to each other with limited horizontal spacing, likely below recommended minimum touch target spacing.
    Why it Matters
    Closely spaced touch targets increase the risk of accidental taps and reduce usability, especially on small screens or for users with larger fingers.
    How to Fix
    Increase horizontal spacing between bottom navigation icons to meet or exceed recommended minimum touch sizes (44x44 dp or 7-10 mm) and padding to reduce touch overlap.

    Multiple League Selection Options Increase Cognitive Load

    Moderate
    Efficiency & Cognitive Load
    The Problem
    The screen shows several league items each with different dates and descriptions, plus a button to 'Join League,' which demands the user decide which league to join from multiple similar options.
    Why it Matters
    Users must make several similar decisions about which league to select, increasing mental effort and delaying task completion.
    How to Fix
    Consolidate league options or guide users better with defaults or highlighted recommendations to reduce the number of decisions required on this screen.
    Issue Highlights

    Lack of Visual Hierarchy in League List Items

    Moderate
    Strategic Design
    The Problem
    The league list items under '리그 참여하기' have very similar typography and layout styles, making it hard for users to quickly differentiate and prioritize them.
    Why it Matters
    Users may struggle to quickly scan and identify the most relevant or urgent leagues to join, which could reduce engagement.
    How to Fix
    Introduce clearer visual hierarchy by varying font sizes, weights, colors, or adding badges/icons to highlight priority or status of leagues.

    Low contrast for lighter grey date text in league list

    Moderate
    Color & Contrast
    The Problem
    Date texts such as '6/9', '6/9 - 6/14', and '6/7' are in a light grey on a slightly darker grey background. The contrast appears insufficient for normal text, likely below WCAG AA standard.
    Why it Matters
    Users with visual impairments or low screen brightness may find it difficult to read these date details, which are important context for the user.
    How to Fix
    Use a darker grey or black for the date text or lighten the background to increase contrast, aiming for a 4.5:1 contrast ratio or higher.

    Unlabeled question mark icon in top left

    Moderate
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    The question mark icon in a circle at the top-left corner is visible without any accompanying tooltip or label indicating its exact function (e.g., help, about, FAQ).
    Why it Matters
    Users may not immediately understand what the icon does, leading to hesitation or missed functionality.
    How to Fix
    Add accessible labels or tooltips to clarify the icon's purpose, ensuring usability and clarity.

    Multiple Clickable Items Close Together in List

    Moderate
    Navigation & Structure
    The Problem
    The list of items under '리그 참여하기' contains multiple rows with small vertical spacing, each with a clickable arrow. The close proximity of these clickable targets may lead to accidental taps.
    Why it Matters
    Touch targets that are too close can hinder precise selection, frustrate users, and cause navigation errors.
    How to Fix
    Increase vertical spacing between list items or enlarge the touchable area for each list entry to avoid accidental clicks.

    Notification bell icon tap target appears small

    Moderate
    Accessibility & Input Ergonomics
    The Problem
    The notification bell icon on the top right corner appears smaller than the recommended minimum touch target size, likely close to or below 44x44 dp.
    Why it Matters
    Small tap targets are harder to activate, especially on mobile devices, leading to user frustration or missed interactions.
    How to Fix
    Increase the size of the notification bell icon’s tap area to at least 44x44 dp, adding appropriate padding around the icon.

    Multiple League Items with Details Require Extra Steps to Understand

    Moderate
    Efficiency & Cognitive Load
    The Problem
    The list includes multiple leagues each showing number, title, and date range, creating many small steps as users read and compare these details before interacting.
    Why it Matters
    Users have to expend effort to scan through multiple similar items to understand differences, leading to slower task flow.
    How to Fix
    Streamline the list by showing fewer but more relevant league options or combine details to minimize scanning effort.

    Misaligned numeric badges and row numbers in list

    Minor
    Visual Consistency, Imagery & Media
    The Problem
    The small purple circular badges appear slightly misaligned in relation to the grey numbered boxes (5, 10). Some badges are closer to the left edge and not vertically centered consistently with their corresponding numbers.
    Why it Matters
    Proper alignment improves visual harmony and helps users easily scan information without distraction or perceived sloppiness.
    How to Fix
    Adjust vertical alignment and horizontal spacing of badges relative to the numbered boxes for consistent placement.

    Feed Tab Indicator Styling Lacks Distinction

    Minor
    Strategic Design
    The Problem
    The purple notification dot on the 'FEED' icon in the bottom navigation is a small accent that doesn’t stand out clearly compared to the other icons.
    Why it Matters
    Important new content indicators could be easily overlooked, impacting timely user engagement.
    How to Fix
    Use a more contrasting color or increase the size of the badge, or add a subtle animation to draw attention.

    Small Text Below '학교대항전' Title

    Minor
    Content Readability & Clarity
    The Problem
    The subtitle text '진행상황 확인하기' under '학교대항전' is noticeably smaller than surrounding text, possibly making it harder to read on smaller screens.
    Why it Matters
    Users with impaired vision or in poor lighting may struggle to read important secondary information.
    How to Fix
    Increase the font size slightly for better readability while maintaining hierarchy.

    Small badge indicators on list items are hard to tap

    Minor
    Accessibility & Input Ergonomics
    The Problem
    Small circular purple badge indicators appear on the left side of list items with numbers inside; their small size likely makes accurate tapping or interaction difficult.
    Why it Matters
    Small UI elements without additional padding require precise taps, which can cause user frustration and errors.
    How to Fix
    Increase the touch target size of badges by adding invisible padding around the visible badge to ensure minimum touch target size.

    Unclear Affordance for Paginated Indicator

    Minor
    Strategic Design
    The Problem
    The small pagination dots below the league list are not clearly connected to the content or interactive. They may be missed or misunderstood.
    Why it Matters
    Users might not realize there is additional content available to swipe or navigate, limiting discovery.
    How to Fix
    Make pagination controls more prominent and visually connected to the content area, or add explicit swipe hints.
