On Developing an Integrated Family Mobile Application

Now-a-days mobile applications have been seen as the most effective, popular and powerful technologies and this is due to the widespread of mobile devices. Moreover, the raising power of mobile devices has a great impact on people of all ages; and more specifically on social relationships including interaction between parents and kids. Therefore, this paper presents a highly integrated Family Mobile Application (FMA) that provides a wide range of services to control, manage, organize and support the different daily tasks of family members effectively. The essential tasks of the FMA are mainly described in terms of facilitating the daily life routine and responsibilities, enhancing the communication between the family members (in different aspects) and supporting the Augmented Reality (AR) which is directed to the children of the family to support educational goals in particular. Moreover, a website has been established to enrich the functionality of the proposed FMA application. The FMA has been analysed, designed, implemented and evaluated on real-world users of the system. The evaluation was con-ducted in terms of the usability testing that considers satisfaction, simplicity and ease of use. More details of the real evaluation are illustrated and presented.
