GENERAL NOTES
Please note the following :

- The implementation must be a native application, native controls must be used wherever possible.
- The back button should go back in history (i.e. as if you were pressing back in the browser). If there is no more history (i.e. you're at the first page), pressing should not close the app only take the user back to the "dashboard" screen in the app.
Code Improvement Bonus - Additional Prizes Available!
Attention all Android developers! In addition to the challenge requirements above, we are offering some additional bonuses for general code improvements. These additional bonuses will be paid out as follows:
- We are offering 3 prizes of $100 each for any member who submits a valid code improvement.
- Code improvements could be anything from a performance improvement, UI enhancement (we want a smooth, professional user experience), code quality improvement, or anything to help polish the app for the end users.
- In addition to the 3 prizes of $100, we will also be awarding a $200 bonus to the member who submits the most impactful app improvement (decided by the project team at the close of the challenge).
- While these prizes are subjective, we value our relationship with the community and will be fair in how they are awarded. Our main goal is to drive participation and to encourage you to explore the code and help make this app better. Please do your best to help us accomplish this and we'll be happy to reward you for your effort!
