Iteration Problems identified Changes implemented
First • Difficulty following and remembering instructions • Increasing the size of the text
• Including single page instructions
• Lengthy text • Pictorial instructions
• Complex language for low-proficiency English readers and low literacy users. • Removal of jargon and technical terms used in the app
• Adding videos to describe the image capture process
Second • Unclear video instructions without audio assistance • Colour scheme changes
• Font changes
• Adding audio to the video instructions
• Difficulty capturing all images at good quality
• Scrolling icon to indicate a scrollable page
