New in this version:

- alert before deleting a file so user doesn’t accidentally delete it (thanks Grampy5031)
- new short-cut for ^ (power)
- bug fix for raising power to fractions/decimals (thanks Don)
- bug fix for ‘about’ button

Enjoy.

SophistimaCalc Lite no longer available – paid version is very much alive and fully supported

After some reflection, I have decided to remove the Lite version of SophistimaCalc from the itunes store.  Those who already have it can obviously keep it, but it is no longer available for download for new users.  I haven’t updated it in a while, it has limited functionality and, looking at the ratings on itunes, the only people who like what SophistimaCalc does are those who have paid the very modest amount for purchasing it.

I am happy to accept and take into account comments on this decision.  Feel free to post your opinion.

This has no effect on the paid version which is available and regularly updated and supported.  Looking at the ratings on itunes, those who have bought it very much appreciate its flexibility and power.  I will keep adding functionality based on user comments and my own ideas so feel free to make suggestions or requests.

 

SophistimaCalc programmable ipod/iphone calculator version 1.3 has landed

“Landed where?” you say. In the itunes store of course. And thanks to our fine commenter Richard, it now has shortcuts for common commands that will save you some typing. Paid version only – sorry Here’s a shot with shift key and all:

More updates are on their way thanks to commenter Don.  Please feel free to comment if you have any suggestions, if there is anything you want changed or any new features you’d like to see.  Heck, I’ve gotta have a hobby so keep me busy.  I’ve made $17 so far on sales and I might even make my dreams come true and earn a cool $20 before years’ end.  That’s the app store dream – not $20 million, just $20 so I can have a coffee every day for a month… maybe.

* new function exp(x), exponent to the power of x

* memories are now kept even on exiting the program

Also, Richard in the comments has made further suggestions that I will implement in the next version coming soon.

Enjoy!!

Free programmable calculator for iphone and ipod on itunes

Well, I couldn’t help thinking that most people like to try stuff before going to the extravagance (especially with the GFC) of buying stuff.  (Hell, I just push the “buy” button without thinking, but who am I to tell you what to do?  Credit card debts?  Let them come after me!).

Now that I have become a billionaire (from 10 sales @ 99 cents each – you do the math), I am offering SophistimaCalc “Lite” for FREE.  The only limit is 10 commands get processed from the input window and the rest are ignored.  The paid version doesn’t have this limit.

Here’s a link to the itunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=319791208&mt=8

Let me know what you think.

Damn, I’ve already spent all of my billions!  How did it happen?  What, I only get 70 cents royalty @ 10 sales?  I’ve lost all my cents….

Sophistima what? (coming soon to ipod/iphone)

Oh my, I have offended thee oh my loyal viewers and personalities.  I am truly ashamed at my iphone bingery.  I’ve made 3 cents selling my “deluxe” ebook and it’s given me a hunger for more $$$$$$..err..cents.  I want to make 5 cents, nay 10 cents… and then I will be a millionary (of cents?).  I have no sense of my cents.

So I have failed thee once again as I introduce my latest creation: Sophisica…Sophit?… Sophisticated…. SophistimaCalc?  What?  Here’s the ad:

SophistimaCalc calculator is a fully customizable solution.  It performs common scientific calculations but its great flexibility lies in your ability to create and save your own equations and algorithms.  The dual screen layout allows you to input  a whole set of formulas or a complex set of algorithms and then execute all of them in one click.  If you want  a financial calculator, input the formulas using the built in memories and then save the complete set of formulas for later use.  If you want a physics calculator, do the same.

Features:

- performs multiple calculations at the same time by having:
(a) separate input and output windows;
(b) allowing all equations and commands to be inputted before processing
(c) performing all calculations set out in the input window at the press of a button
(d) showing completed calculations in the output window
(e) edit calculations in the input window – you can even use the standard iphone keyboard
- save and load contents of the input window to file to reuse complex equations and algorithms
- 100 memories, each with a name of your choosing, that you can allocate and manipulate using the ‘mem’ command (eg mem mymem=1, mem mymem=mymem+ sqr(50))
- solve linear equations using the ’solve’ command
- perform conditional calculations
- repeat calculations until a condition is satisfied
- create complex algorithms
- make calculations based on a correct order of precedence (eg multiplication and division first then addition and subtraction)
- use the following in your calculations: +, -, *, /, ^ (power), ! (factorial), %, log, ln, sqrt, sqr, sin, cos, tas, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, tanh, rnd (random number), abs (absolute value)
- see our website for a complete manual
- we are always open to suggestions.  Let us know of any improvements, new features and we will endeavor to include them in updates.
It really is good.  Pic:

There’s even a manual here: http://freescifistories.wordpress.com/sophistimacalc-manual/

It will cost a whole US99 cents and equivalent.  It’s availability is subject to Apple’ approval which should hopefully be any day now.  I’ll post the itunes link once it becomes available for sale.

Anti-reality deluxe – freebie for a limited time

Get it while it’s hot… or not… when the app store gets around to updating the pricing to nada for a time:

Edit: 6 April 2009 – Well it was good whilst it lasted… or not…  Time to add to my billions again *in debt * so the app is no longer free.
