  1. I used to think that coding was very boring because it was just blocked after blocks of the same thing over and over again, but now I think coding is very fun and interesting because I could express my ideas and also get joy out of it.
  2. I built this app for Bryan.T because he struggles to keep track of his time while he is on a device. This app would help him keep track of his time and his eyes are more protected from getting myopia. (nearsightedness.)
  3. I designed the big countdown numbers at the top of the screen because that way it’s more visible and easier to see. I made the -/+ time buttons at the middle column because that way it was easier to press and click for the user(s). I made the meme buttons at the bottom because that way the meme pictures fitted the screen. Lastly, I put the “Go back” and “Credits” button at the bottom because that way it was more professional.
  4. The quality of the app is pretty good. The timer has simple buttons that have: “Start” “Pause” “Reset”. When you press to start the timer starts and obviously pause is pause and reset is resetting the timer. In the middle part, there are +/- 1 sec, 1min and 30min. When you click the button it will change the time on the timer. Finally, the “Credits” and “Go back” buttons take you to another screen when clicked.
  5. My app was very clear and easy to use. Users that use this app would know how to use it and understand it easily. However, this app does have some weaknesses.  The app is not very detailed in terms of button choices and looking.
  6. If I could redo this app, I would add more buttons to the timer and add more sophisticated, detailed, advanced coding to the app.

My advice for making this app: Focus on the coding first, then the decoration or coloring because you might run out of time later and you won’t be able to finish the app. Also, when you are testing your app, use a tablet and not phone because the tablet performs better and has a bigger, greater, clearer screen.
