Soulver is far from winning design awards, but it is the most usable calculator I have tried for iOS. You can also write in the expressions that you see on the iPad app giving you a sort of natural language calculator (’10% off of $100’ works). The iPhone version can perform similar tasks by holding the percentages button. The iPad app presents you with the following plethora of percentage options: I deal with percentages all the time, and I would be dishonest if I said that I don’t get confused some times. One feature I just love about the app is the way it allows you to work with percentages. The app is not as pretty as Calcbot, but it is highly functional and becomes a tool that gets out of your way – allowing you to just calculate (I guess). What has become clear is that regardless of which app I click on – I much prefer using Soulver. Most of the time my finger reaches for Calcbot on my iOS devices – I assume I click on it because I adore the interface. Cost isn’t an issue as I have purchased them both already. Calcbot is as sexy as an iOS calculator can get and it rarely leaves me needing more power. Soulver is more powerful and functional, but I only use that stuff a fraction of the time. The decision boils down to: Soulver or Calcbot. ((I do.)) Today I decided that enough was enough and I was going to pick just one calculator and stick with it – there is no need to have so many on my iOS devices (converters are fine, same with that inch-foot calculator until I get out of the Real Estate biz – and God do I wish I could delete Apple’s offering). Add to that Convert and INCHcalc on the iPhone and I really look like I have a problem doing math. Those three are: Soulver, Calcbot, Apple’s Calculator (iPhone only). I have three calculators installed on my iPhone and two on my iPad.
