      From
    Handheld Computing Magazine

    "(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 HotSync® operation.
    • All fields support cut, copy, paste, select all, and undo operations.
    • "Beam" menu item standard on all applications for easy file sharing.
    • Virus protection for the product is built-in.
    User Interface
    • 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.
    • Compliant with Palm OS(R) user interface guidelines.
    • 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 Palm OS recommended compatibility testing.
    • Beta testing is also used where applicable, PRIOR to release of salable product.
    • Testing for pursuit of Palm Powered Solution for all shareware.
    Packaging
    • Installation and User's Guide documentation provided with ALL software.
    • Downloadable software packages for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
    • CDROM installation disks available for select titles as an alternate to downloading the Palm OS software.
    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.

    webmaster/owner of PalmAddict, the largest Palm OS blog


    "...(Creative Algorithms) not only offer outstanding products but they have that caring service too that you do not see too often in developers today."

    HISTORY

    Formerly, we wrote and released programs under the name of DeftSoft in the late 1990's.  You may have used our freeware version of Date Wheel™.  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 page for more details on Date Wheel™.

    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 reference each product's page for more details.
