I&rsquo;m not a software developer, I don&rsquo;t know anything about UI design and I also don&rsquo;t do software QS. But I can come up with several methods to enter a birthrate in a mobile app.</p> <ul> <li>A date field where you can enter dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy (depending on where in the world you are).</li> <li>Some dropdown field where you can scroll down and find the correct values</li> </ul> <p>What I would never have come up with would be a calendar. Starting on the current date. You&rsquo;ll have to swipe to your birthday. On a monthly basis. So more than 600 swipes for me.</p>
