This report summarizes the work I did on two components of the Reviews Opinions Search Engine (ROSE) system, namely the Android mobile UI & the front-end landing page for the ROSE web portal. It focuses on the Android app, which I spent most of my time working on. The first chapter explains the distinct features of the ROSE system and how it stands out against similar prevailing web applications in the market today. Next I describe the work I did on the core functions of the Android app, which are the Search & Display function, the Reviews function & the Compare function. The Search & Display function searches for a search term entered by the user & returns relevant products from the backend database. The Review function loads the reviews of selected products, enabling the user to make a positive, negative or neutral decision about the product. The Compare function allows the user to compare salient features of two or more products.
