Interface testing with Cian

Once the app was deployed, I gave it to Cian on the iPad. He was excited to see some favourite shows that don’t surface on their own on YouTube Kids (railway model building, Network Rail instructional videos).

He found it harder to get his head round using the browser buttons to navigate forwards and backwards through the screens, which means I need to consider how to remove the browser interface, perhaps with some elements of a PWA, and add a back button within the app.

I also had the video player too big within the landscape orientation to see the suggested videos underneath immediately, which is a relatively easy fix and I can use Media Queries to show it the right size on each device.
