Build a digital manual

Hi guys,
I want to build a powerapp for my organization (manufacturing based), which would replace some work instructions.
(8 simple sub-assemblies of a part)
I want my app to do the following:

 - Display an image (preferably full screen)
 - Display text at the bottom of the image (i.e. describing the action depicted in the picture) 

 - Ask a few questions (4-5) at some points in the process [sort of like a checklist question; for example: verify that ....]

 - Track the time taken to assemble (i.e. timer starts when user presses start and stops when user clicks end/submit)
The goal is to display instructions on the front-end and take the following data on the backend: username; time taken to complete said instructions; answer to questions displayed on the screen. (on to excel/SharePoint)
the app will be used by 6 users concurrently on different assemblies (sets of images)
is PowerApps ideal solution for this, I learnt that PowerApps has some picture limitations (in this case I, have a lot of high-quality images to be displayed)

could someone please guide me/help me.
give me an idea to create this project ????...Please.

    I think Power Apps will be useful for this purpose and this can be done. You can upload images smaller than 64MB, 200 MB in total per app by default.

     

    But, you can use SharePoint to store high quality images and get them from there.

     

    Example here 

     

    You can compare the start date and the end date to calculate the time taken. Use the function Now() and DateDiff() for this. And you can store all this information, but it's a little bit complex to explain in one post.

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.
