At Nooksy our heart has always been to help families connect. With family members falling into different age brackets, making the experience and process of connecting as easy and understandable as possible is one of our primary objectives. This is why we are constantly engaging parents in our user experience testing, learning from them and incorporating these learnings into our planning. After several interviews, we have made substantial improvements to our user experience in our app, our web app as well as our website.

Tutorial for new users

We have added an interactive tutorial for first time users, making it easy for themselves to orientate and learn the controls that makes making a call easy!

‍

We even have Jessica “joining in” for a dummy call to showcase the user experience of a an actual call. Go give it a try by navigating to the Tutorial in app.

New reading interface

Its now easier than ever to share your room details with friends and family. Your share link is visible as you join and can be shared via any social media app on your device (such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook messenger or even email).

We have also made it easier to increase the font size or page size simply by using some of the new interaction tools.
