Design for seniors: avoid quick actions.
Players only go to the previous track when already very close to the beginning of the current one.
Older users tend to wait for confirmation of every action therefore they don't operate this fast.
Homer now has 10s threshold to accommodate slower users.

Designing for seniors: better grip.
Hand functions deteriorate with age, often making it harder to hold things without a large grip area.
Homer Audio Player allows adding screen margins to increase the area to hold.

I created Homer for my grandmother as her eyesight was deteriorating. Existing players were to complex for her.
She's been using a tablet with Homer for years now. I can update audiobooks remotely via G. Drive and podcasts provide fresh content every day.
