About the Welcome App Germany > Future Vision

What is the vision of the project? What are the plans for the future?

With the development of the current state of the Welcome App Germany, our task is not finished yet. The Welcome App Germany is a sustainable and long-term project. In addition to the daily integration of the contents of cities and counties, the system itself is being continually expanded and improved.

Here are the most important future approaches:

• Enthusiasm and integration of more and more cities, regions or even entire federal states in order to make the content available to the users of the app as comprehensive as possible with any relevant information.

• Further distribution of the Welcome App Germany to refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, EU citizens, but also to helpers, authorities, language schools and clubs through appealing image-oriented postcards and posters with local reference.

• Publishing the content of the Welcome App Germany as a book, to make valuable information also accessible to people without smartphones and digital media. Option of publishing a multilingual book.

• Develop a solution for Windows 7 desktop PCs to make the Welcome App available to users with older operating systems. Unfortunately, municipal authorities and relief organizations, as well as many honorary offices and language courses are often only equipped with older PCs or older operating systems which makes topic a priority.

• Approach for a barrier-free solution with highly illustrated content in order to provide information of the Welcome App Germany to people with illiteracy or languages which are not yet integrated into the app by using highly visual language.

• Inclusion of minimal translation help and phrases with topics offered in the Welcome App is already a first step towards language acquisition. HeiReS® plans to greatly expand learning German with the Welcome App. A way to support the vocabulary learning is by linking the MyFlashcards app to the learning part, a free app by HeiReS®.
