Background and Aims of the Redesign
We know that the traditional Teachme Biz mobile app has the following problems.
- The design makes it difficult for people with difficulty in operating the app to understand how to operate it, and they cannot get information from the manual.
- There are many steps to go through before viewing the specifics of the procedure, such as images and descriptions in the manual.
- There are many differences in appearance and behavior from the webapp, which causes confusion.
Through the redesign of the manual viewing screen, these issues has been resolved and procedures will be communicated more easily than ever before.
Main changes
1. Open the manual to immediately see the information.
When you open the manual, you will see the images and titles of the cover page and steps, as well as all the descriptions.
You will be able to check information on all steps in the manual by scrolling vertically only.

Although the images will be displayed in a larger size than in the previous manual viewing screen, if you want to view the images in more detail and at a larger size, you can still view each step in the slide show as in the previous versions.

2, “Contents” has been added to make it easier to understand the entire flow and to reach the target step.
By tapping the “Contents” you can get a list of steps in the manual.
You can quickly grasp the entire manual or get to a specific step in the manual.

3. The text size of manual descriptions can be changed.
In addition to slideshows and other screens supported by the previous version, the text size of titles and descriptions on the manual viewing screen can also be changed.
Depending on the device's font size setting, the manual can be viewed in a font size that is easy for each user to read.
*Font size cannot be changed for each screen.

Other Changes
New functions and redesign functions

Users can check a list of manuals with the same search tag. - One-tap sharing of manuals.
