An evaluation instrument containing questions about semantics and appearance was applied, in addition to the System Usability Scale to evaluate usability. In data analysis, the Agreement Index was used, with a cutoff point of 0.8 (80%). Results: when evaluating semantics and appearance, the application achieved a Global Agreement Index of 0.99 (99%), varying from 0.95 (95%) to 1.0 (100%) between the items evaluated. In usability, a global average of 93 was achieved, presenting the best usability achievable in all system characteristics. Conclusion: the technology was considered understandable, relevant, and efficient, as well as easy to use and low inconsistency with high user satisfaction, demonstrating excellent potential for families.
