1, the page is concise: the font and spacing must be larger than ordinary apps to ensure that the elderly can see clearly and the content should be clearly listed;
2. Simple function: The more functions, the more the elderly can explore, and the easier it is to cause misoperation and cause some unnecessary troubles;
3. It's best not to advertise: Nowadays, many advertisements are more and more like ordinary content, which is difficult for young people to distinguish, let alone the elderly. Once it is not handled properly, it may be used by bad businesses;
4. The quality of content is guaranteed: it is easy for the elderly to believe all kinds of false statements on the Internet, so the platform should have relatively high content control capabilities.
Based on the above points, today I recommend four middle-aged and elderly apps that parents are using.
?
Ting Yun laoling edition
If the old man just retired/has poor eyesight/likes walking/pays attention to domestic and foreign news, then this APP is very suitable for him.
As an audio APP, Ting Yun Laoling Edition was created by Ting Yun, the audio client of CCTV, in cooperation with the Information Center of China Aging Association. The operation interface is simple and clear, with large paragraphs and fonts; Through customized service, the whole scene coverage in the morning, middle and evening can be realized, and the audience's demand for full-time audio companionship can be met.
In view of the great changes in the psychology and life of retired old people, Ting Yun Laoling Edition and the Association for the Aged specially planned a series of programs called "The First Lesson of Retirement". The program enlightens retirees from psychological counseling, health knowledge, interest expansion and other aspects to reduce the occurrence of psychological and physical diseases after retirement.
Relying on the exclusive radio and television program resources of the Central Radio and Television General Station, Ting Yun Laoling Edition strives to create nine categories of excellent programs, including health and wellness, news and information, opera culture, storytelling and cross talk. Parents can basically find Sui and Tang Dynasties, cross talk and Three Kingdoms in Yi Zhongtian.
And the broadcast function is also connected to the cloud listening music version. There are national radio stations such as "Good Voice of China" and "Voice of Economy" that want to know about the world, as well as neighboring provincial and municipal radio stations. These radio stations can ensure the timeliness and authenticity of news.
Most importantly, Ting Yun Laoling Edition is one of the few free apps without advertisements that I have ever experienced. Plus Yang Guang's background, I don't have to worry about my parents being cheated when they use it.
Cool dog printing plate
If the old man likes listening to songs/singing, Cool Dog Print is really suitable for him.
The Chinese version of Cool Dog also adopts the form of large fonts for the elderly. In addition to the core music content, non-music content such as "Hot Headlines" and "University for the Aged" is interspersed in the classification, which realizes the diversification of content.
If the elderly feel that listening to music is not enough, they can also show their talents to the general public through "K songs" and compete with their friends. If this is not enough, you can watch videos, enjoy beautiful pictures and meet all kinds of netizens in places like "Video" and "Cool Friends Circle".
As a music APP, Cool Dog Edition is very entertaining. However, compared with other apps, it embeds advertising content in "video", which is a wealth management product, and it is easy for the elderly to touch it by mistake. If you leave a message, you are more likely to have harassing calls, reminding the elderly to pay attention to advertisements when using them.
Baidu big print edition
Let me talk about a warm and interesting old-age version of the app-Baidu big print version.
As a news-based APP, Baidu's big print edition pays attention to the fact that its content contains a lot of words, so the content recommended by the homepage is video content, and non-video content in other places also supports voice broadcast, so you can listen to the article content by clicking. In order to make the broadcast sound more friendly and have the feeling of family companionship, children can also make their own voices into voice packets through the function of recording voice packets to realize cloud companionship.
There are also some practical gadgets in the "treasure chest", such as "correcting mistakes in oral calculations" suitable for children, "Duke Zhou" that the elderly like to watch, and so on.
Although Baidu's search strategy has been criticized by us in various ways, we still feel sincere when we look at Baidu's posters. Not only is there no common advertising and charging items, but there is also a very warm voice package function for relatives. But most of the recommended content is from the media, and many of the software in the treasure chest are search results. The elderly should have the ability to distinguish when using it, so as to avoid being deceived by false news.
banner headline
Finally, talk about headline printing. This APP gives people the impression that the interface is clear and the function is practical. Compared with Baidu, the headline version abandons a lot of icing on the cake, focuses on news, square dance and video content, and develops functional design around the content.
Old people can brush articles and videos on the home page if they want; If you want to worry, you can also play all the recommended news through the "Radio" button; Like square dance, there is also a separate "square dance" channel; Want to have fun playing games, there is also a "play games" channel. The overall use logic is very clear and perfect.
The above are four relatively good apps for middle-aged and elderly people that I recommend. I hope my experience can help you choose pension software. If there is any problem with the article, please leave a message to correct it. Thank you.
