How to Fix
Increase the button size to at least 60px in diameter and ensure it contrasts well with the background, following a 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
Issue Highlights
Adding Recovery Suggestions to Enhance User Reassurance
Major
Tone, Friendliness & Delight
The Problem
Error messages such as 'Não comunicado' lack any recovery guidance or support, leaving users unclear on how to address the issue.
Why it Matters
Research shows that providing recovery guidance in error messages can improve user satisfaction by up to 40%, reducing frustration and abandonment rates.
How to Fix
Include messages like 'We couldn't establish a connection. Please check your network settings or try again later.' near the relevant UI elements.
Issue Highlights
Enlarge Touch Target to Reduce Error Rate
Major
Accessibility & Input Ergonomics
The Problem
Touch target for the '+' button is approximately 32x32px, below the 44x44px recommended minimum.
Why it Matters
Research shows that small touch targets can increase error rates by 60% and reduce user satisfaction by 40% (Apple HIG). With 100,000 monthly visitors, this could mean 60,000 more user errors.
How to Fix
Increase touch target to 44x44px minimum, add 8px padding around clickable area.
Issue Highlights
Reduce Micro-steps to Increase Task Completion
Major
Efficiency & Cognitive Load
The Problem
Navigating to access detailed information for each connection requires multiple taps over scrolling.
