Make rational decisions based on the criteria relevant to you. Define the available Options and the Criteria on which the Decision should be based and let Smart Decision do the math and determine your best choice. Options are the items/alternatives you want to compare, ultimately deciding which is the preferred one. Criteria are the standards on which the Decision should be based. Smart Decision supports six different Criterion types: - Requirement: for essential characteristics a viable option should have - Binary: Yes or No, e.g. WiFi connectivity - Ranking: option order from hightest to lowest - Rating: rate each option with zero to five stars - Value [prefer lower]: e.g. price or power consumption - Value [prefer higher]: e.g. storage capacity or processor speed Each Criterion can be given a weight (from one to five, according to its importance) to be applied in the result calculation. The result is a ranking of all Options sorted by the percentage of the maximum possible score achieved by each Option. It is updated automatically as you evaluate each Criterion for each Option, so you get immediate feedback about the impact of every change. Smart Decision supports iCloud Sync, so your Decisions are kept up to date on all your iOS devices. Smart Decision is totally free, In-App-Purchases allow you to tip the developer and have no impact on the app's functionality.

Have you ever faced an important yet difficult decision? Have you ever had so many options and struggled to choose one, well they might be sweet burden, but you're gonna still have to choose one:) Have you ever wondered, "What if I had chosen that one? Would it have been better?" This app can help to resolve these things. While it cannot guarantee you’ll make the perfect decision—because nothing can—it helps clear your mind by listing your considerations and their importance, as well as how each option aligns with those considerations. This way, you can understand the situation at that moment and recognize that you made the best choice you could with reasonable reasons. In most cases, this actually leads to the right decisions.
