ChemFriend looks to simplify the process of applying real chemical equations to aid in the study of chemistry in High School. The application itself includes the following pages:
- Mole Calculator
- Specific Heat Calculator
- Volume Calculator
- Galvanic Cell Calculator
- Elemental Quiz
This application has been built and shaped by my experience as a Chemistry student and falls into the category of an education tool. Simplicity was a major focus, looking to remove any overhead and just be purely about helping kids understand what they were learning. Initially the application had a basic home screen with a start button – and my planning actually involved a slideshow of screen designs with instructions with them. However on implementation this decision seemed to be something I could not integrate in a slimline, simplistic way. The decision to scrap the home screen brought the application more inline with the design specifications Apple recommends.
