A few of the improvements suggested we didn't include since we felt they were not user-friendly for our target group or took attention from the main functionality (audio guide) of the app. The following functions are the ones that we chose to include or change:
- Introduce a rewind button - If you loose focus and miss what is said, it will be easy to replay it. One click should rewind a fix amount of time. If the person by accident holds in the button it will still only rewind "one step". We made this decision based on observations that some elder accidently push the screen for a longer duration rather than one fast "touch".
- The "Mer info" button should be a popup instead of a new screen - If it is a pop-up it is still clear where in the app you are. Less windows to transverse. The pop-up is closed with the user friendly "X" in the upper right corner
- Add a progression bar - non clickable! To know how far into the audio-track you are. It is important that we make the design of it "flat" so that it doesn't look like it's clickable.
- Flags instead of text - Intuitive metaphore and this way there will be less text to read.
- Animation "How to use" - this makes is easier to use independently. Now you don't have to ask someone to show you how it works.
- Instead of arrow, use button with camera icon. - OBS only when the arrow means "go back to camera screen" This makes the app more horizontal in style and it's more clear and easy to understand where in the app you are moving to.
- Menu bar available from all screens - Makes the app easier to use since now there is less transversing over several screens in order to reach for example settings or additional information.

A small note: since this is only the first draft, and we drew on paper, the buttons and text is not very well visible. Of course this will change during the next iteration step. :)
