When developing these low-fi designs of the onboarding process i came across some flaws i wanted to buld solutions to fix, these included the colapsable menu. while i thought this was a good idea at the time for a product with multiple features, this design choice just wasnt as usefull as i wanted it to be, i screpped this for the tab toolbar menu, stylised to fit the products personallity.
Secondly was the format of the feature butons the square buttons were to clunky and unnessesery, yes they were an easy tap target, but these types of butons made it hard to expand on more features if needed and just did not fit the feal of the product. in this case o opted for a more sleek bar buton system with smaller icons.
