This app contains a selection of creeds, song lyrics, and other things that Soldiers might be required to memorize during the course of their training. |

This application is designed for United States Army Soldiers, Non-Commissioned Officers, Warrant Officers, Officers, Civilians, Cadets, and Rangers who want to remember -- or memorize -- the creeds of their respective ranks.
Update includes infantry and Special Forces creeds (among others).
The Creeds app, at its core, is a simple app. It lists a number of Army Creeds - or things that Soldiers might want (or need) to memorize. When I first started to think of an app that I could upload to see how the process went, I wanted something that would be useful, but simple. I think this met that goal. Admittedly, the app doesn't do much. One criticism I saw of apps like this said that it could just be a web page, which is partially true. The reason to make this app an app and not just a web page is so that a person who is not connected to the web can have it packaged in one spot. Version 2.0 of this app will have audio files to accompany the creeds, so a person can listen along to help memorize using dual modalities.
The Android app came just two weeks after the iPhone app. This one was different primarily because of how I learned Android. Android handles menus a little differently, so I decided to have the main screen have icon buttons that linked to the creeds and then also have the creeds listed in the menu. This technique became a bit problematic when I added additional creeds for version 1.2 - since I didn't have additional room on the main screen (and didn't want to resize the icons). Still, after 2 months, the Android app had outpaced the iPhone app - reaching 5000 downloads in 75 days. |
