New design concept

Now you are able able to quickly execute a lot of things you may want to do when viewing manuals, such as zooming the image, viewing step explanation, and closing slide show screen.

Main changes

  • Changed image size
  • Improved usability when enlarging images
  • Changed the screen layout when the device is positioned horizontally
  • Redesigned link function (*)
  • Redesigned comment function (*)

*This change does not apply to the layout design when the link/comment function is opened from other than the slide show screen.

New screen details

Image size

  • After the redesign, the initial size of the image has increased. The image is displayed on the entire screen without performing a zoom operation.
  • Even if you tap the screen to hide the explanation after zooming the image, the image remains zoomed.
  • In addition to tapping "x", you can close the slide show display by swiping down on the screen.

Screen layout when the device is positioned horizontally

  • When the device is placed horizontally, the title and description of the step will be displayed on the right side of the screen. Place your device horizontally if you want to see the image details and step explanations simultaneously.

Link function design

  • The screen design now resemble the standard OS screen design.

Comment function design

  • The screen and usability now resemble the standard OS messenger application.

Functions of the slideshow mode that were removed

  • Gesture flick function
  • Auto-play presentation function
  • Viewing location info by latitude and longitude created using the old function (*)
  • Playing audio data created using the old function

*You can still view location info registered by place name or address.

[Example of concerns]

  • As the appearance and operation methods of each app are different depending on the device used, it will be hard for users to follow changes and use app
