OUR
SOFTWARE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Why
buy
software from Creative Algorithms?
We design quality and usability into our programs.
Some
points are listed below:
Design
Parameters
- Where feasible, all older operating systems
are supported.
- Designed for minimum memory and battery
consumption.
- Applications sleep when idle to maximize
battery life.
- Screen data conveniently stored so you can
return to the application
right where you left off.
- Application
and
data
is
automatically
backed
up during the iTunes sync and iCloud backup.
- All fields support cut, copy, paste, select
all, and undo operations.
- Virus protection for the product is built-in.
User
Interface
- Conformance to Human Interface Guidelines
from
Apple.
- Large buttons for fingertip operation.
- Interface designed to minimize tapping.
- Dates and times formatted to your system
preference.
- Aesthetic, uncluttered screen layout with
adequate white space
for rapid visual inspection of the screen data.
- High-contrast icons and large fonts for
better
visibility.
- Ergonomically designed for easy data entry
and
higher
productivity.
- Buttons for common operations.
- Tabbed forms to simplify interface.
- Changed fields briefly flash to provide
visual
cues to changed
data.
- Beeps used as audio cues for invalid or
unrecognized input.
- Clean, simple, easy to use interfaces.
- Standard menu items and accelerator keys --
no
missing cut/paste
functionality or non-standard names for operations.
Coding
Standards
- Clean, elegant code written for clarity and
simplicity reduces
bugs and eases maintenance.
- Code compiles cleanly with no errors or
warnings on the highest
detection levels. In fact, any error or
warning will stop the
build until it is fixed.
- Code reuse provides stability and maturity to
the newest of
programs.
- Liberal use of assertion checking within the
code catches bugs
early in testing.
- Adherence to published API's (Application
Programming
Interfaces) for best forward compatibility with
future operating
systems.
- Separate unit test applications are written
and used to expose
more bugs during the development cycle.
- Proper handling of special case
floating-point
numbers such as
+/- infinity and NaN (Not a Number).
Testing
- Tested for usability and functionality under
a
variety of
operation conditions.
- Tested above and beyond iOS recommended
compatibility
testing.
- Beta testing is also used where applicable,
PRIOR to release of salable product.
Packaging
- Help provided for all
software titles through links to help pages on our
website.
Customer
Service
- We believe customer service is just as
important as quality
designs.
- We respond to every email inquiry. Our goal
is to respond
to all questions within 1-2 business
days.
- We also welcome suggestions, ideas, and bug
reports--software
always has room for continued improvements.

from
Handheld Computing magazine, by
Harv Laser,
Palm Editor,
"K.I.S.S.

Functional, elegant, simple"
March 2006 "In
this age of slow-to
learn, hard-to-use software that looks more like
puffed up desktop appscrammed into a handheld,
Creative Algorithms...makes a collection of
PalmOS programs that's functional, elegant, and
simple. CA makes it software easy, fast,
logical, and obvious, and builds it for a small
screen....And above all, they do it with a
professional, caring attitude.... (T)hey
are a breath of fresh air in their elegant,
intelligent and thoughtful design."

HISTORY
Formerly, we wrote and released programs under the name of
DeftSoft in the
late 1990's. Our first app, Date Wheel™
was released as freeware
in 1999.
The 2.0
version, released in 2003 as shareware by Creative
Algorithms, LLC, was
upgraded with new features. The web version of Date Wheel
was released in 2008, and the iPhone version in
2009. Trip Boss™
was one of our most popular PalmOS applications, and we've
brought it to the iOS platform, as well as Serving Sizer™. Please visit our products
page
for more details on all our current applications.
For more past information about us, Palm247, a popular
and quality online
news source, conducted an interview
with us in
2004. We also did a podcast
interview in 2005. We were featured in Handheld
Computing in
2006. Our software, most notably Trip Boss, has
received several
awards and nominations. Many of our iOS apps have been
awarded Best App Ever awards as well. Please
reference
each product's page for
more
details.
We have a blog,
with
more information about
us and interesting mobile business topics.

RETURN
POLICY:

fit, or sometimes descriptions have been

if you have purchased our app from Apple's AppStore, you
will have to request Apple directly for a refund.
Merely select "Report a
Problem" on your iTunes receipt and follow the links to
request a
refund. In most cases, Apple will honor a refund,
but please understand the process and approval are
completely out of Creative Algorithms' hands.
