Requirements

These Green Apps must provide a user-friendly interface to manipulate mathematical models. The results should be displayed graphically. The project must be developed for iOS and Android with a significant part of common code.

Challenge

The main challenge for our developers was to create cross-platform apps that have all the necessary functionality:

To force the same code work both on Android and iOS.
To optimize the algorithm so that it were useful and could provide high performance.

Solution

To solve all the tasks, our specialists decided to use a cross-platform mobile framework (Phonegap).

Results

The development project outcome is applications for Android and iOS, available for downloads at markets (based on the same cross-platform code with minimal changes between platforms). Applications have a simple interface to manipulate the desired models.
