First Use Tutorial
We found that early customers had issues changing the brightness. The purpose of this tutorial is to teach customers how to use Ila Lantern's touch button in an engaging and interactive way. The React Native app subscribes to changes to the device's state via Bluetooth Low Energy characteristic notifications.
Lantern Control Page
This page allows customers to change their lantern's brightness by moving the control or by scrolling the number readout. The UI reflects the power state of the light and changes in real-time when the physical product changes its power state or brightness.

Weekly Dashboard
The purpose of the dashboard view is to help the voyager discern the things on their mind that week. The dashboard uses NLP to surface the people and ideas journaled about.
Record View
The record view was optimized for speed of entry. Journal entries can contain text, images, and audio. All entries are automatically augmented with the current location.
Journal Entries
The voyager's entries are presented in a chronological list starting with the most recent entry. Bible verses are automatically identified and tapping on the verse pulls up a modal with the Scripture referenced.
