Great product for Qual Researchers

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am part of the research team in the bank specifically focussing on Design Research. A large part of my job is doing qualitative research for a large product area. We use Lookback to chat with our research participants remotely on both, mobile and desktop. <div>We heavily rely on Lookback for mobile heavy interviews since one of our main product area is our native mobile app. </div><div>We also have our stakeholders watch interviews live and engage in the chat room to discuss observations during the session. </div>

Pros

  • Organising interviews for mobile devices
  • Observer links so people can watch without interrupting the session
  • Video transcriptions

Cons

  • Unmoderated interviews is still under cooked as a feature
  • The process of how participants have to download an app to start an interview is a large friction point for us

Likelihood to Recommend

Best suited to conduct remote interviews that are moderated and facilitated by the interviewer/researcher. <div>Not the best if you want to do it unmoderated, there are much more sophisticated tools out there. Unfortunately, for a design research team that does both these kids of research, it can be hard to get budgets to get two softwares and hence the Unmoderated Feature can seem super undercooked and doesn’t really do the job. </div><div>Otherwise it’s a great tool</div>
