### 4/5 — Impressed

*2026-08-12, version 4.0.2*

Great app.Much improved,especially impressed with customer support

### 3/5 — À ce prix, le support du français devrait être meilleur

*2026-07-07*

Mon expérience avec Soulver 4 est plutôt mitigée. Le concept est intéressant, mais l’utilisation du langage dit « naturel » demande en réalité un certain apprentissage. Il faut souvent consulter la documentation ou mémoriser la syntaxe pour exploiter correctement les fonctionnalités.
Par ailleurs, l’application est clairement plus aboutie en anglais. Certaines expressions fonctionnent dans cette langue mais je n’ai pas trouvé leur équivalent en français, malgré mes recherches dans la documentation. Par exemple, je n’ai jamais réussi à reproduire en français une requête comme « 430 to 387 is what % ». Une simple comparaison des guides de référence français et anglais montre d’ailleurs un écart important.
J’ai également constaté que certaines fonctionnalités de la version 4 ne sont pas disponibles en français (je n’ai pas testé celles réservées aux abonnés).
Au final, si vous privilégiez une utilisation en français, je trouve que Soulver 4 ne justifie pas son prix de 69 €. Pour ma part, comme avec la version 3, je me contenterai de la version d’essai.

### 5/5 — Unique - a handy ready reckoner

*2026-07-02, version 4.0.1*

One of the best tools on any of the platforms.  Unique software that mimics what you do when working out numbers, take a notepad and elevate it with a computational engine.  I have decades of experience with spreadsheets and Soulver has put them in their place, I have little math engines in there that work out aspect ratios, pricing and billing, tax returns, floor plans and more.  Oh, and need to split a restaurant bill but someone didn’t drink any of the vino, that too.   If you juggle figures, get this app.

### 4/5 — Ok en anglais mais le français n’est pas au top

*2026-07-01*

Toutes les fonctionnalités ne semblent pas avoir été implémentées en français : par exemples « 359 to 428 is what % » je n’ai jamais trouvé le texte français qui donne le bon résultat, ni même dans la documentation. A date, hormis que c’est « rigolo »; je n’ai pas trouvé d’utilité à cette application.  Donc elle restera à l’étape du test pour mon cas.

### 5/5 — Appreciation

*2026-06-30, version 4.0.1*

Upon opening Soulver in a hurry and being confronted with upgrades options but not the one sheet I needed I was frustrated and regrettably wrote an angry review.   I’m not a heavy or even moderate user these days but I’ve made full and good use of Soulver over the years.   This is a genuinely useful app and the developers offer a polished product under a fair pricing option.  Good developers deserve support not knee-jerk reviews written through momentary frustration.

### 5/5 — Love Soulver!

*2026-06-30, version 4.0.1*

Couldn’t get through a day without it.  Thanks for a great app!

### 5/5 — Better than SpreadSheets

*2026-06-29, version 4.0.1*

I think of it as a calculator for word problems. 
Been Soulvering since v1. Excellent program.

### 5/5 — Незаменимая аппка

*2026-06-29*

Пользуюсь много лет на телефоне и маках. Считаю всё на свете. Веду кучу заметок с цифрами и расчетами. Каждый день запускаю, настолько быстро и удобно

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-06-25, version 4.0*

Helps me keep track win simple and complex. Being able to keep notes on the items you are adding, subtracting, or multiplying etc, is a great help.  Love it!

### 5/5 — Ein treuer Begleiter

*2026-06-25*

Kurze schnelle Berechnungen, längere komplexe mit Abhängigkeiten, Transparenz in den Zusammenhängen, Hilfe mit aktuellen und zukünftigen Daten ohne externe Recherche uvm. bietet mir seit Jahren mein Soulver. Und dies, ohne zu veralten. Das Programm/die App geht immer mit der Zeit. Sie ist ihr Geld wert, danke.

### 4/5 — Stock price accurate

*2026-06-17, version 3.16.2*

Except for WES

### 4/5 — Icon looks so ugly, please change it

*2026-06-15, version 3.16.2*

The app works so wonderfully and is a marvel. That icon isn’t though, it doesn’t attest to how good the app actually is. It cheapens the entire app. When I first saw it, I actually thought “This must be the wrong app”

### 5/5 — So smart, so handy

*2026-05-25, version 3.16.2*

I haven’t used a spreadsheet since getting this app for the iPad. It’s fantastic for virtually any calculation you can think of.

### 4/5 — Shopping List, Checkbox and richer Markdown support would be nice

*2026-05-18, version 3.16.2*

Can you add Checkbox, Shopping List or collapsable headers in the future.

Soulver has been my most indispensable app for Grocery shopping. Like literally nothing comes close to keeping me on budget, especially it’s tough times right now.

However, I’m really annoyed on the experience to mark a line as Done, meaning you have got this item now. Currently what I’m doing is appending a comment “// DONE” at the end of the line, or just adding “//“ at the start of the line, which converts the Line into a Comment.

I wish Soulver would someday support adding Checkbox, auto add of default your country’s currency symbol after typing Variable name then “=“, and collasable markdown style Headers, that hides the “#” in the formatting now. Basically a more richer Markdown support, but removing the syntax in the formatting.

4 stars for now, until this is considered and implemented. Thank you!

### 5/5 — awesome

*2026-05-18, version 3.16.2*

one bug is when the location is switched to iCloud it freezes…

### 5/5 — Must have software

*2026-05-06, version 3.16.1*

This is the “calculator” you have been dreaming of: So easy, so powerful, so much more than a calculator: A notepad that helps you think, look up and compute.

### 5/5 — Endlessly Useful

*2026-04-20, version 3.16*

This is one of those apps that you just find yourself using way more than you originally thought.  The ease of putting together complicated equations, calculating stock P/L, calculated area space for renovations, sharing a bill, I use the Mac version during my accounting work.  I use the widget in my control centre because it's that important and useful a tool.  Worth every cent.

### 4/5 — Resizes window at random

*2026-04-19, version 3.15.2*

I love this software but it resizes the window at random for no reason whatsoever - annoying! I suspect it’s the syncing with the mobile version but not sure. In any case, it should not be happening!

### 1/5 — false advertising

*2026-06-30, version 4.0.1*

I have been using the Soulver Calc app for a long time, and I kinda like it. A pop-up window appears in Soulver 3, basically saying Soulver 4 is available on the App Store for $29.00. I can provide a screenshot and save 50% as an upgrader. After installation, I learned that the upgrade price is $39.00, which is 40% of the full price of $69.00.

This is classic false advertising. Shame.

### 1/5 — Oh my god!

*2026-04-01, version 3.15.2*

Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic calculator, but the integration with other devices has become too complicated. I have Soulver 3 on my Mac, but I'd have to pay extra to get it on my iPhone while it is essentially the same product. Sorry but paying once is quite enough!

### 1/5 — Отвратительное приложение

*2026-03-04*

Неправильно считает, делает ошибки. Если сменить аккаунт в App Store, слетает покупка приложения. Плюс раз в несколько лет они обновляют версию и заново нужно покупать. Не ведитесь, отвратительная гадость

**Developer response:** Soulver 3 - первое платное обновление за 15 лет. В нем больше 100 новых функций. Оно правильно считает, но если Вы нашли какой-нибудь глюк, пишите нам email пожалуйста, и мы его исправим.

### 1/5 — App okay, developer not so much.

*2026-01-03, version 3.15.2*

Another clueless tech bro. I regret giving him money.

### 1/5 — What is upgrade cost?

*2025-04-26, version 3.14.2*

I have Soulver. Can't easily find out upgrade price downloading yet another app i don't need.

Soulver for iPhone is perfect as it is

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-01-29, version 3.14.2*

Says “ would you like to trial the full version” even though I bought. The link also does nothing but stuck on the main screen. Seems a bit buggy wish it worked.

### 1/5 — 设计上没有2感觉好

*2024-12-29, version 3.14.1*

主界面上的顶部还能看到灵动岛突出的部分，设计细节完全缺失

### 1/5 — I want to love this app

*2024-12-12, version 3.13.1*

There is nothing wrong with the app itself, with the only exception being that it constantly nags you to write a review. For this reason alone, I’m uninstalling it.

### 1/5 — Crashes on my ipad.

*2024-09-26, version 3.12.1*

I am long time user.  It still crashes.   I have not updated my OS yet.

### 1/5 — Expensive and the iPad version is not included.

*2024-05-15, version 3.11.1*

I’m an enormous fan of Soulver 3 on iPhone—yes, it is expensive but it really is worth every penny. So it was incredibly disappointing to learn that, unlike most apps, the £14 purchase on iPhone does not include the iPad app which costs an additional £20.

### 5/5 — Best calculator by far

*2026-07-31, version 4.0.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Best calculator I’ve ever used, and I’ve used a lot of them

*2026-07-21, version 4.0.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Worth every single penny!!

*2026-07-20, version 4.0.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Excellent piece of software

*2026-07-20, version 4.0.2*

Thank you for this.

### 5/5 — Excel and Google sheets for Dummies

*2026-07-18, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Both easy and powerful

*2026-07-14, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Essential

*2026-07-12, version 4.0.1*

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!

### 5/5 — Don’t miss the Soulver 4 upgrade; it’s a homerun

*2026-07-11, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Ver 4 - Great app that gets better and better

*2026-07-11, version 4.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Unverzichtbare App

*2026-07-11*

Soulver ist für mich ein unverzichtbares Tool auf jedem iPhone, iPad und Mac. Der Entwickler bietet eine kontinuierliche Erweiterung mit sinnvollen Funktionen und reagiert auf Support-Anfragen und Feature-Request extrem schnell und ausführlich und hat auch immer sehr gute Ideen, wie man vorgeschlagene Features ganz simpel in der Zeit bis zu Implementierung mit Variablen lösen kann. Top-App, Top-Preis, Top-Support. Herzlichen Dank an den Entwickler für dieses Engagement.
