From
"(Creative
Algorithms)
are
a
breath
of fresh air in their elegant,
intelligent and thoughtful design"
excerpt
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 apps
crammed 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."
You
can read
the full review in the March 2006 issue of Handheld
Computing magazine, along with reviews of all Creative Algorithms'
software. Excerpts from the review are also noted on each of our
software description pages.

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.
- 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 deliver all codes within 1-2 business days
and also respond
to all questions within that time frame.
- We also welcome suggestions, ideas, and bug
reports--software
always has room for continued improvements.

The 2.0
version, released in 2003 as shareware by Creative Algorithms, LLC, was
upgraded with new features and also to work with Palm OS 5
(Garnet). The iPhone version was released in 2009.
Please visit our products

For more 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. Please
