"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

DocUpick turns paper into smart notes you can find, read, summarize and reuse — all on your iPhone or iPad, with no account and nothing uploaded. NEW IN 4.0 • Import from Files: bring in PDFs and images, or share them to DocUpick from any app. PDFs that already contain text keep it exactly; scanned PDFs and photos are read on-device. • Tables to spreadsheet: DocUpick finds tables on your pages and shows them as a grid. Copy the cells straight into your spreadsheet app, or share a CSV file. • Read Aloud: listen to any document sentence by sentence, with the current sentence highlighted. Tap a sentence to jump there and set the speed you like. • Smart summary: on iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence, DocUpick writes a short summary, key points and a suggested title on-device. On other devices it picks the key lines from your document and pulls out merchant, total and date from receipts and invoices. Every summary says how it was made. • Search from the Home Screen: scanned text, titles, tags and folders show up in Spotlight, and a tap opens the note. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Scan a document with DocUpick", find documents by their text, or pass a document's text to other actions. Quick actions on the app icon start a scan, an import or a search. • App Lock: require Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode to open DocUpick, and hide its contents in the app switcher. • Add to Calendar: dates found in a document open a pre-filled event you can review and save. • Backup & Restore: save your whole library — notes, page images, folders and tags — as one file in Files, iCloud Drive or on a computer. Restoring adds what's missing and never overwrites anything. SCAN ANYTHING WITH TEXT Receipts, invoices, letters, forms, business cards, whiteboards and handwritten notes. Multi-page scanning with edge detection and perspective correction, or import from Photos and Files. Text recognition runs on-device in the languages you choose. SMART NOTES Every scan gets its recognized text, a detected document type, and tap-to-act phone numbers, emails, links, addresses and dates. Receipts and invoices show merchant, total and date. Business cards become a shareable contact card. QR codes and barcodes are detected too. FIND IT FAST Ranked full-text search across titles, recognized text, tags and folders, with the matching words highlighted. Folders with color and icon, tags, pins, filters and sort options. SHARE IT YOUR WAY Image PDFs, searchable PDFs with a hidden text layer, text-only PDFs, adjustable size and watermark, automatic file names from the document's content, CSV export of your library, and Packet Studio for ordered multi-document PDF packets with a cover and contents page. KEEP IT TIDY Page filters, rotation and reordering, merging notes, expiry dates with reminders, an Insights view of your library and a review queue for scans that need attention. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics and no servers. Your documents stay in DocUpick on your device until you choose to share or back them up. iPhone and iPad. Works offline. Apple Intelligence summaries require a supported device with Apple Intelligence turned on; everything else works on every supported device.
