App Description:
It’s Getting Hot in Here is the next revolutionary step for temperature conversion apps everywhere. It is a fun, easy-to-use app that helps users easily convert between Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvins by choosing the conversion scale with radio buttons and using a slider to select input temperature. The entire app consists of one screen that provides users with input tools (like radio buttons and a slider) and output displays. This app, when given a conversion scale (i.e. Fahrenheit to Celsius), takes in an input temperature and then outputs the temperature in it’s converted scale. To use the app, the user first selects the conversion scale with two sets of radio buttons. The left set of buttons represents the units of the input temperature. The right set of buttons represents the desired units of the output temperature. Then, the user uses the slider to select the input temperature. Once given an input temperature (denoted by “input”), the app instantaneously displays the output temperature on the right side (denoted by “answer”); there is no need for extraneous button pressing. The user can continue using the slider for more instantaneous results and the user can change the desired conversion scale by re-selecting the radio buttons. This app is easy, convenient, and very self-intuitive. It also accurately gives the conversion temperature for any selected conversion scale. For a more visual, detailed process, see the screenshots below.
Extra Credit Options Descriptions:
1) Tie the input and output together more tightly – My app doesn’t require any button presses to calculate the temperature. Simply moving the slider will change the output value, as the output values are calculated instantaneously. I accomplished this by tying the output value calculation to the slider button, so that the slider acts as a trigger for the output calculation. This ties the input and output together more seamlessly and makes the app easier and faster for the user.
