A Life Cycle App

This app is easy to use without instructions. There is a table of contents that displays the names and graphics for the ten included sections. Each section shows a diagram of the entire cycle. Tapping or swiping highlights the first step of the cycle and brings up a pop-up text box describing that step with an audio recording of that text also available. Tapping or swiping continues to the next step, while swiping backwards goes back one step. The audio or text can be disabled easily, but users cannot immediately jump between steps. The audio recording has a slight accent and occasional echo or muffle, but is generally easy to understand. The content of the app varies widely in difficulty level from "seed" in the plant cycle to ""ammonification" of nitrogen.

Scientific explanations of processes such as pollination use terms related to reproduction.
