Outstanding App with Exceptional Customer Support!
I absolutely love Soulver 4! It’s incredibly easy to use, versatile, and has become an essential tool for my everyday calculations. The app works great, and I especially appreciate how seamlessly everything syncs across my devices. What really sets Soulver apart, though, is its outstanding customer support. They were quick to respond, extremely helpful, and made sure my issue was resolved and everything was syncing properly. It’s refreshing to see a company that not only makes such a great product but also genuinely cares about its customers. I highly recommend Soulver 4 to anyone looking for a powerful, easy-to-use calculation app backed by exceptional customer service!

Flexible worksheet
Work in intuitive, plain text: many functions, unit conversions, plan timing of multi-step events, and a useful menu bar icon to pull up a quick calculation widget. A little bit of everything and easy to use. Soulver is constantly open.
Another reviewer mentions that Soulver doesn’t handle units as it used to. For fancy physics-style work, the open source “qalc” might be better. It can do algebraic integration and differentiation and has more units than you’ve ever heard of. BUT that causes it to not be nearly as useful as Soulver for something like “($150K + $245K) x 12”, where Soulver understands the “K” to mean thousands, not “Kelvin”. You have to say “200 K to F” for Soulver to interpret it as Kelvin. Intuitive. Smart. Soulver is great that way.

Bonne app mais Claude la recrée gratuitement
Demandez à l’IA Claude de vous créer un artéfact en ligne copiant le principe de l’app et vous l’aurez gratuitement + personnalisée (français). Dommage de payer 60€ quand on peut l’avoir pour 0.

AI can make a superficial copy of anything. Carefully designed things cost money and average things are often free. Soulver is my original idea that I’ve been improving for over 20 years. There’s a lot of experience and craft that go into building this product, and so many refinements for each supported platform. The calculation engine itself is over 50k lines of code. Leaving a negative review despite recognising that the idea and implementation is good seems uncharitable. Are you fundamentally opposed to rewarding software craft & invention? Do you not believe in supporting indie developers financially to feed their families when they build a useful product?
Comprehensive ability with Excellent Support
I purchased this App for it’s ability to load Stock, ETF and MF symbol data and it does a very good job. I’m also using for currency updates and it does an amazing job. Easy to design formulas for just about anything. eMail support is prompt and all questions I asked were answered. I highly recommend this App

One of four apps that keep me on Mac
Soulver allows you to create a narrative with numbers. It is fantastic for explaining or exploring ideas real-time. I’ve been using it since 2007, and am always delighted at the thoughtful design, and it’s one of 4 programs that keep me on Mac (Devonthink, Tinderbox, Things3, and Soulver).
Thank you for such a great app. It’s truly among the best.

If I need a super-heavy-duty version the open source command line “qalc” (not by the Soulver devs) is an option, but anything short of that is Soulver territory. Constantly open.

Nice
I was a user for many years. It is a nice app, but I don’t use it enough for the cost of $40 to $60 per year for a subscription that I don’t much. I originally was also sadden that nothing was done for the longtime users when you switched to subscription format. Now I see something and tried to download it but all I got nowhere. Deleted it again. No help at all from developers in all this time.

Simply the best of its kind!
After all these years, Soulver keeps getting better and better. Version 4 is now universal! Thank you, dev!
Vom Test der Version 4 enttäuscht
Ich habe zum Beispiel die Inflationsberechnung mit Euro und Dollar ausprobiert. Das Ergebnis: Dollar und Euro unterscheiden sich nicht in Bezug auf den Wert, auch nicht über einen Zeitraum von 24 Jahren. 😉
Dann habe ich mit deutschen Orten das Wetter oder die Entfernung zwischen ihnen getestet. Wenn es sich nicht gerade um München oder Berlin handelt, erkennt Soulver die Städte nicht. Ich frage mich wirklich, welchen Vorteil Soulver in Zeiten von KI noch bietet.
Überhaupt sieht es so aus, dass Soulver mit der deutschen Sprache weit aus schlechter zurechtkommt, als mit der englischen. Aber das ist erst mal nur ein Bauchgefühl.
Natürlich ist die App umfangreich, aber ist diese besser als der Kostenlosmodus einer KI?
Ich möchte jetzt nicht nur einen Stern geben, denn natürlich steckt in dem Programm eine Menge tolle Sachen drin. Aber ich möchte zum Nachdenken anregen.

Thanks for the feedback Nik, & being kind with your star rating. The latest update (4.0.3) includes an improvement so that smaller cities are now fetched from the internet dynamically when you type a query. Weather and distance calculations should now work for any German city.
Impressed
Great app.Much improved,especially impressed with customer support
Preispolitik!
Soulver ist ein super Tool, gar keine Frage. Ich stolpere aber darüber, dass ich als jemand, der für 35€ das „Upgrade“ von Soulver 3 auf Soulver 4 erworben hat, nicht eine einzige Aktie anlegen kann, auch kein Zugriff auf Livewetter erhält, wenn man nicht zusätzlich(!) ein Abo über 29€/Jahr abschliesst. Akzeptieren kann ich das ihr für AI Features ein Abo eingebaut habt. Alles gut. Aber weiteres Geld für Aktienübersicht und Wetter, das nenne das gierig!

Response from developer
Das ist eine unfreundliche 1-Stern-Bewertung: Wir bieten Kursdaten als optionales Abo an, damit nur Nutzer, die diese Daten benötigen, ein Abo abschließen, während alle anderen beim einmaligen Kauf bleiben können. Für uns sind die fortlaufenden Kosten für diesen Service ein laufender Aufwand, daher ist das Abo erforderlich. Wetter ist für alle direkt ab Werk verfügbar.
Best calculator by far
Love this calculator. It’s so good. Only wish is to add a setting to bring back the old keyboard layout. I cannot get over my muscle memory from old versions.
Best calculator I’ve ever used, and I’ve used a lot of them
I’m an accountant, so a good calculator is absolutely critical. Soulver is so much better than any other calculator I’ve used before. I’m not sure there is anything it can’t calculate, and I only use a fraction of its features. I also really like that it keeps a history of everything I’ve done to refer to later, and screenshot or print for documentation.

Worth every single penny!!
First off I wasn’t paid off in any way to leave this review I just truly love the work the developer has done with this app. Thank you for not giving into the AI and making a subscription out of it.
Excellent piece of software
Thank you for this.
Excel and Google sheets for Dummies
I have never learned excel and I am terrible at google sheets. After a few minutes of learning the Soulver workflow, I can now easily create Soulver sheets to track expenses or predict cashflow very easily.
I do wish there was a way to export it to google sheets or excel and it would automatically be populated in all the cells, columns, rows so I could easily share with my non-soulver friends.
It would also be nicety have the ability to have short cuts to jump to different parts of the sheet or be able to view it in outline form.

Both easy and powerful
I’ve been using Soulver for years and years. I’ve tracked sales tax, and overtime for my taxes. Managed our cash drawer with it and figured the size of a cabinet I was building. It on my personal Mt Rushmore of Mac apps.
Essential
I’ve been a Soulver user since version 1 and it’s remained an essential part of my every day suite of applications I work with. As indispensable to me as my terminal application and vim.
I love watching colleagues eye’s light up when I pull up Soulver in a technical discussion to do my “napkin math”.
The v4 update looks amazing. And the universal binary is just a nice thing to do.
If it had stopped at v3 I was already completely happy. So this is all just feeling like (literally) Christmas in July right now for a die hard Soulver fan!

Don’t miss the Soulver 4 upgrade; it’s a homerun
I've used Soulver for years and thought it was already close to a finished product. Version 4 makes that look like a starting point.
The new trip planning workflow alone is worth it — set a start and end date and Soulver maps out your days at each stop and warns you if you overshoot. Beyond that, there's a huge wave of new natural-language calculations (tax, inflation, distance, physics, etc….), smarter calendar math, tags for tracking expenses, custom variables and units, better sheet organization, and a AI-friendly command line for scripting sheets.
And I LOVE that it is a universal app now — one purchase covers Mac, iPad, and iPhone instead of three. For an upgrade this substantial, that's remarkable.
Whoever's building this clearly isn't coasting. Easy recommend, and easily worth the price.

Ver 4 - Great app that gets better and better
I’ve just updated from ver 3 to ver 4. It’s a paid-for upgrade (the first for a very long time). 50% discount for the upgrade. Stupendous value for money. I use this app everyday. The update process (on Mac, iPhone and iPad) is very easy. The app uses natural language and is so well designed it is a joy to use. I have different saved sheets for different tasks (Trig, Electrical calcs, finance, proportions, EV range calcs, percentages, etc) and find Soulver so much more convenient than spreadsheets. Everything syncs instantly between devices.
