"The App that makes calculating easier than ever" - 4.5/5 stars : AppAdvice.com "Underneath the surface of Solutionist‘s simple UI is a complex and powerful system…" - 4/5 stars : 148apps.com "You are only limited by your own imagination.. An incredibly powerful app." - 4 / 5 stars : knowyourapps.com Solutionist is a simple, yet sophisticated app that allows you to save a formula or a sequence of formulae and create calculation templates. Once created, all you have to do is to enter inputs and get the outputs. == FEATURES == * Create custom multi-step calculation templates (Calcs). * A calc can contain a sequence of formulae. * Multiple inputs and outputs for each calc. * Condition based formula usage: Assign different formulae for a field based on condition. * Text message in output field: Because a number is not what you always want from a calculator. Eg) You need a BMI calculator to say if you are “healthy” or “overweight”. * Share your creations via Airdrop, mail or any other file management app installed on your device. * Folder structured arrangement of calcs for ease of access. * Swipe right to copy, swipe left to paste. == VERSATILITY == Here are some example calcs created by Solutionist users for their own personal needs * Discount calculator for shopping * Taxi fare calculator for one’s own city * Custom tax calculator * Custom brokerage calculator for trading * BMI calculator for health * Impedance calculator for Sound Engineering * Custom weight calculator at industries "You are only limited by your own imagination.. An incredibly powerful app." : knowyourapps.com == SOPHISTICATION == * Intelligent typing assistance - keypad automatically grays out irrelevant buttons, guiding a valid formula entry. * Intelligent warnings - to prompt in case of oversight mistakes. * Thoughtfully designed and integrated feature set makes Solutionist a unique and powerful tool. == MEANINGFUL CUSTOMIZABLE OUTPUTS == * Set a prefix or suffix for values. “25 inches” makes a lot more sense than just “25” * Round/floor/ceil outputs up to 5 decimals. No one needs an endless list of decimal digits. == SIMPLICITY == All the features and sophistication are hidden behind a simple, clean and intuitive interface. -------------------------- Terms of Use - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy - https://www.solutionist.dev/privacy
