Although a simple program we find also a very useful one. Admit it, when it comes to percentages who can remember the formulas let alone work them out in their heads? Thats were Percentages comes in – Quick – Simple – Intuitive.

Percentages allows you to perform percent related calculations such as:

• Find the percentage of a number (i.e. what is 30% of 250)
• Find the part percent of a whole (i.e. what percent of 200 is 40)
• Find the percent change between one value and another
• Increase or decrease a number by a percentage (i.e. deduct 15% from 149)

Percentages is also included as part of the Percent Buddy Suite of tools.

Just to give you a taste of the Percent Buddy modules, we are offering Tip Buddy for FREE. This was submitted to the app store earlier today so stay tuned, it should be available within a week or so.

If you like Tip Buddy, the other modules are now also available seperately.

Today we have submitted five apps to the app store: VAT Buddy, Tax Buddy, Margins Buddy, Tip Buddy and Percentage. These are all of the individual modules of the Percent Buddy Suite so you can pick and choose which modules you would like installed on your iPhone.

To our delight Percent Buddy has entered the top one hundred in the UK business category. We entered at position 79!

Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased our app and remember if you would like to see any features added, just drop us a line and we’ll see what we can do.

We received a very exciting email from Apple very late last night (23:45 to be exact) telling us that Percent Buddy was available for sale in the App Store.

We were totally astonished at how quickly Apple had turned this around as it was only submitted to them late on the 27th August so well done Apple.

Percent Buddy can be purchased for the amazing low price of just £0.59p by visiting the app store.
