Lockdown mode is what makes Homer Audio Player unique: it's not just an app, it's a device.
It's what makes Homer so easy to use and perfect for older, non-tech-savvy users.

Hands holding an audio player tablet. The right hand is just about to press a large "play" button. The hands are of an elderly person.
New version 1.5.3:
- Ignore non-audio files. Fixes issues with some books not playing or not being able to rewind after reaching the end.
- Don't scan files with name starting with a "." dot.
These fixes were possible thanks to user reports, thank you ❤️

To be honest I understand that: she has access to news and the internet, just doesn't carry it with her. There might be no incentive to learn the new thing if it doesn't provide new capabilities.
I guess what we can do is show the value on one hand and make it easier to learn on the other.
This! Seniors want to use tech and love it even if they can barely use it.

It's a cheap no-name device but seems comfortable enough, even when laying on a side. Testing by grandma will start next week.
Close up on headband with music controls: play, pause, plus and minus.
Grey textile headband with a small, rectangular box at the middle front. The box has music control buttons.
Close up on a barely visible slit in the headband's material with a USB charging port inside.
Close up on the same slit with charging port. Now there's a small plug in it with a circular magnetic connector. The connector fits within the outline of the box, it does not extend beyond its frame.
For those who need to listen to audiobooks to fall asleep: headband with small speakers for listening in bed.
The charging port may be difficult to find for visually impaired but a magnetic connector fits it very well 👍

Part of a still frame from the video in the original post. It shows a fragment of the list of colors with color named "3AM Breakup" and it's hex values.
3AM breakup 😂 Who names these colors?
Simplify the audio player by disabling unnecessary controls.
- volume only,
- one-button player - only play and stop,
- full controls.
The caregiver can customize Homer Audio Player to fit the user's needs and type of content.

When you see your elderly loved ones during the holidays see if they struggle with daily tasks. Sometimes a small thing can be a big help.

I was like, no way, despite the art and the curiosity gap hed, could the answer here be “reading books.” But it is! The hobby we are abandoning is literally *reading books*.

Podcasts for non‑tech‑savvy, visually impaired seniors are now easier than ever.

Less than a week until the first issue of the Inclusive Android Apps newsletter!
The response to the newsletter has been amazing, and I am so excited about it. I already have so many different ideas for the upcoming issues, and just can't wait to launch them! Did I already say I'm excited?
Screenshot of an app screen for adding new content. There are three cards for adding: Audiobooks folder, Podcast and Sample books. Each card has a short description and a link to learn more.
Version 1.4.7 released
- Improved UI for adding new content.
It should make it easier for new users to setup the app.

I'm thinking of adding internet radio support to Homer, so I'm googling to see what's out there.
Absolutely simple radio and MP3 player for elderly users.

Design for seniors: avoid quick actions.
Players only go to the previous track when already very close to the beginning of the current one.
Older users tend to wait for confirmation of every action therefore they don't operate this fast.
Homer now has 10s threshold to accommodate slower users.
Version 1.4.6 released.
- Improved rewind buttons.
- Added a switch to temporarily disable kiosk mode.
