Technical assessment:

Highlights:

  • Simplicity.
  • Labeling suitable for screen readers.

Improvement points:

  • Improve information on whether you have a valid position.
  • Translate the texts that appear in English.
  • Avoid accidentally changing the location.

«Here I am» is a very basic application with a very specific functionality, being able to send your location. This is something very useful for blind people or people with disabilities who use this type of application to send their location to a contact. When opening the application, a map appears in which the location is reflected and a button to share the location in which a link to Google Maps is sent through the application of your choice, such as email, WhatsApp, etc. In case the position is not precise enough we can move our position to the exact point where we are. For blind people this can be more of a disadvantage than an advantage since, without being aware, they could move the position.

                                         

                                        Home screen Location sharing screen                                    

The application fulfills its mission, but there are certain aspects, such as the menu to stop the application in English or the way to inform if it has a valid position, that make the application closer to a beta version than to a commercial application.

Regarding accessibility, the application is correctly labeled for screen readers.

There are already widespread applications such as WhatsApp, which allow among its options to send your location, even share it in real time, so applications like I'm Here will be especially useful for those who are looking for an application for specific use to send their location.

The tests have been carried out with a mobile with the Android 8.0 operating system.
