Cop Radio 1.0 Submitted
11/24/11 1:15 AMI finally finished coding Cop Radio and Cop Radio Pro. This app has been in the works for over a year now. In fact, I started the license agreement with the content providers at the beginning of 2011. Over the past two months, I have been coding and testing relentlessly to finish the app before the holiday season starts. This app is a culmination of several of my talents and skills.
As a graphics designer, I wanted to create an app that not only functioned well, but also gives people that "WOW" factor. As a litmus test, I would show a beta version to random strangers. If the first thing they say wasn't "Wow, that's so cool," I'd go back to the drawing board. The overall design goes with the TRON theme of neon lights over black glossy plastic and circuitry. The clock was designed after the wheels of a TRON lightbike. I designed the icons so that they wouldn't need labels. You should be able to figure out what the icons did right away as soon as you saw them.
As a coder for over a decade, I wanted the app to be bug-free, quick, user-friendly, and full of features. With all of the great apps out there already, it was very hard to come up with features that haven't been done before. I've pretty much packed as many features as I could in this very first version. I was patient enough to wait and not release an app that did not have all the features I wanted. I wanted the very first version to be as polished as it could be.
I've made apps and websites for other companies before, but this is the first time I made an app for my own company. I hope you guys enjoy my app as much as I do. - Allen Wong
