TOOLS – OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND UI (USER INTERFACE)
1. Gender-Agnostic - Designed for use by men and women, and engineered to work
equally well for both
2. Precise - While remaining true to the formula, metric conversions are used instead of
other units for accuracy and vice versa.
3. Flexible - I chose the included formulas because some work better for women where
other work better for men, offering great flexibility
4. Performance - Because mobile devices differ not just in brand and model but in
speed (older models etc.), some devices may not work properly. For this reason, I
chose to slightly change the underlying engine and layout to accommodate for this
pitfall for maximum speed, compatibility and stability.
5. Ease of Use - With the advent of touch enabled devices came along new layout
widgets, which is used to make it as easy as possible to perform actions. However to
accommodate for older phones, or users preferring key based inputs, this should be
easy for all to use
6. Extensible - Upgrade to other editions with ease. In addition other tools are always in
development as part of the Hermes © product line
