Minggu Kedua (8-14 Julai)

Comments from judges:

PROPOSAL 1 – MEMORIZE QUR’AN
  • Make different levels according to their level of maturity/ages. 
    • For example : kids - we have simpler version or more funky way
  • For ads-on, try adding some features such as a box of information. 
    • Add a slot "Tahukah Anda" - give a simple story about sahabah that memorize qur’an at the very young age, it will motivate them more. OR add some another useful tips to memorize or (pantang larang) if we want to memorize qur’an.
  • Please arrange it according to juzuk and surah as already stated since it makes the application more user friendly.
  • Make sure the application is user friendly.
It’s very useful. Especially to people who wishes to know and understand Qur’an by heart.


PROPOSAL 2 – ISLAMIC TIMELINE [FOCUS ON PALESTINE] 
  • If you have more time, can you make that story in cartoon way? OR maybe having a storyteller to verse the story orally. And not just only the user have to read. Make an option. Sometimes, people like to listen/visually see moving pictures than just read it.
  • For ads-on, try adding a simple video of people’s view on this issue. There’s a video on Youtube that focuses on Korean’s view about Palestine. Alhamdulillah, it captures people’s attention.
  • Good job on preparing the donation feature or maybe you can add an online application for volunteering or donating for Palestine. (co-work with Palestine related organization)
  • If possible, can you add a place where people can leave their messages for Palestinian?
  • Show the good side of Palestine! 
At first, I’m not clear about this application as I wonder the news about Palestine is already here and there and we have so many information about them. However, I realised not all the news can be trusted and some people just want to read all about Palestine in just one site and the source must be trustworthy.  So, Mabruk!


PROPOSAL 3 – MUDAHNYA BACA
  • First, if the user already finish recognising one letter at the time, is there any practical tryout for them? 
    • For example : add a short storybook?
  • Add some interesting music to make them attracted.
  • For adds-on, try giving some options for the user to choose their own graphic interphase.
    •  For example : Flower season OR different colour, perhaps?
  • Give rewards to them. 
    • For example : if they finish it within 1 second, give them trophy award. OR cartoon sticker. So if they want to have many collections of sticker, they have minimize the time or wrong mistakes.  (visually seen).
    • As for punishment, there is no punishment, right? But try adding some confusion for right answer. It adds a lot of fun in there. For example, we have blue ‘b’ and white ‘b’ but the only true answer is blue ‘b’. So, if they click on the other one, the balloon will explode? (this is just a rough idea of mine)
Without knowing the letter clearly, people have to work harder to readAnd I have a friend who is having dyslexia at the moment but she proves that she can be as excellent as other ‘normal’ people. It’s a very an excellent proposal, indeed.


PROPOSAL 4 – TIDY MUSLIM
  • The concept is very good. People right now wants to find some refreshment in characters.
  • The time is very limited. But, can the user decorate or choose their own design for the room?
  • For adds-on, put a simple informative box "Ummi/______ kata". This functions as to give some additional tips on how to organise room. Make it simple and fun.
  • Add interesting music to enlighten the mood. 
I will occasionally play if I have time since teenager like me always likes to play games even it’s more to children.
