Words with images for quick understanding

I was lucky enough to judge the USA ClearMark Awards this year, and was assigned to the apps category.

This app blew me away. I'm so pleased it won! 

Show me for Emergencies on the app store 

Why this app works so well

It has been user-tested to kingdom come, so:

• the content is exactly what people need to communicate about

• you can toggle between lots of languages

• you can translate communications on the fly.

But the real star of the show?

It's the balance of words and images.

• Each chunk of content has a simple image to help with quicker understanding.

• The images help workers communicate with people who don't read, like young kids.
