A User Centered Design Approach to Develop a Mobile App for Children

Smartphones are popular among children. Children aged seven years and more often play with car racing themed mobile apps which are harmful for them. This paper uses a User Centered Design approach with children as informants of the design to develop an app named Safe Driving App for children. The app aims to spread awareness among children about the importance of following traffic rules. An analysis of the usage pattern and a post hoc interview revealed that children require less time to complete a game in the app (P < 0.05) but become less satisfied with it (P < 0.05) as they grow up. On the basis of the results, it is recommended that mobile apps for children should be developed as per the requirements and interests of the children of different age groups to facilitate better comprehension and provide adequate leaning opportunities for them.
