 All the researched apps are simple to use by applying one of two techniques. Firstly, Liven and Forest guide the user throughout the app and its features using text blocks that pop up during app usage. To ensure this does not hinder the focus order and user's flow, these text blocks are shown between transitions. Secondly, apps can focus on solely one purpose, removing the need for a user journey. Minimalist Phone uses this approach. Instead of having a personalized journey or several goals that the user can achieve, it only shows the current time of day, battery percentage and focus session timer. There are no pages with separate topics, nor are there multiple topics on pages individually. There is only one page. There are presets of design, but these don't change any of the information shown.
-Minimalist Phone's layout is simple, showing only 3 items. Liven and Forest use a completely vertical layout, setting a simple user journey where the user only goes down the screen. This simple layout and the usage of pages for separation of concern enhances the focus order because the user only has 2 ways of navigation, top to bottom and page to page. Because these apps go from top to bottom, it's also accessible for users who use screen readers, for example users with impaired vision. There is no extravagant order of information, meaning the screen reader will always read in the right order. On the topic of accessibility, deaf users have a similar experience because there are no ground-level defining functions using sounds. Liven for example only uses background music that the user can turn on by choice. Sounds do not define the experience, they only enhance it.

-There are 2 ways these apps ensure their light weight and fast performance without overloading the phone's processor. Firstly, Forest and Minimalist Phone have only a handful of features which are very lightweight. Minimalist Phone only shows 3 items on the screen and has the option to swap between screen savers. Forest only has features regarding focus sessions and personal profile feedback. Forest also uses animations and art that show the user their virtual forest, but it uses a simple art style and minimal animations.

 Secondly, Liven has an abundance of features and more animations than Forest. To counter graphical and computational overload, Liven generates information throughout usage of the app. Since Liven focuses on giving the user a personalized journey, most of the data gets generated at the moment, making the application very lightweight out of the box and throughout usage.
