As part of a project aiming at designing a smartphone application for students writing their Master's thesis, Mobile Probes were used as a method to gain knowledge about thesis writing students' day-to-day life and their work processes.The conducted probe did generate insights into students' daily routines.However, it also proved to have a value beyond the study.Participants in the probe reported how the questions of the probe led them to reflect on their thesis writing practices and in a few cases even develop them, and we suggest that this reflective aspect of the probe should be integrated into the smartphone application.
