After feedback, a design decision was made to limit the colour scheme on the parents section on the app, as the colours were too much and parents just want it to be direct and simplified, not engaging and vibrant unlike children. Therefore only two colours have been taken from the previous design, therefore it is simple, however it still relates to the app as a whole, makes sure there is still a connectedness and cohesion between the two sections of the app, whilst also making considerations and how best to communicate to the specific user.
A design decision was taken here, after experimenting with different typefaces for body copy, the centre screen uses the typeface which was chosen, which is known as Khmer Sangam MN, which is regularly used for screen based apps, which makes readability easy and simple. The cursive handwriting font has been used for the titles, again to make the app seem cohesive and the point, purpose and use of the app is communicated through the typeface. When looking at the cursive handwriting font for body text, it wasn't working as the text was too small to be able to read, whilst the letters were joined up. Also Helvetica didn't seem to suit screen or have the right proportions to fit within the app.
The 'About' page has now been replaced with the 'Progress' page, as this is more beneficial and will be used more by the parents, therefore they can track how well they are doing and what letters they ave been practicing and watch playback videos of how they did whilst using the app. The 'About' page would contain too much text and is too broad, therefore more useful information can be found in the 'FAQ's' page and also the 'How to Help' section. This was partly due to feedback, that the relationship and learning experience between parent and child needed to be communicated somehow within this section of the app.
The timer can be changed, whether how long they want their children to be learning and on the app for, as different children have different attention spans and can be easily engaged or others may find it difficult, therefore this can be suited to individual children, however the average time is 10 minutes a day, therefore the default setting is this. The FAQ section has a search bar, making it easy to search for questions, or they can ask their own and their question will be answered. Again saves scrolling tome, and makes this section of the app more efficient.
