Percentages 1.4 has now been submitted to the app store for approval. Version 1.4 brings an enhanced user interface, some new features, calculations and a native iPad interface. Version 1.4 will be available as a free update for all existing users as soon as its released by Apple.

Lets start with the interface update.

We have had many requests to increase the size of the fonts used in percentages. So we have re-jigged the layout slightly which allows for much larger numbers and an increased font size for the ‘Explanation of answer’.  Since we also wanted to add new calculations we had to sacrifice the help text. This has now been moved to a button on the title bar that when pressed will show help and examples in a popup.

New Features.

Context sensitive help. If you press the ‘Information’ button on the title bar a popup will be displayed showing help and an example of the calculation.

Swap input values. A new button has been added (in between the clear and calculate buttons) that when pressed will swap the two input values around.

Two new calculations have been added: After % deducted and After % added.These two new calculations allow you to find the original values after a percentage was either added to subtracted.

Last but not least a natve ipad version

Now if you run Percentages on your iPad it will run as a native iPad app and display a completly new interface.

This is all included as a free update to existing Percentages users and still only £0.59p for new users. If you are lucky enough to own both an iPhone and an iPad then you will only have to purchase the app once!

Our new four in one business tools app, Percent Suite, was released for purchase today.  Percent suite incudes a VAT / Tax calculator, Margins Calculator, Markup Calculator and a general Percentages calculator.

Late one evening we received an email enquiring as to whether Percent Buddy would handle the Canadian Tax calculations.  The following day we did some research, and although we found a work around, Percent Buddy was not really up to the job. After some more research and communitcaion with Michael we decided to make a seperate app dedicated to performing  Canadian tax calculations.  The result ….. Canada Tax.

It pretty much does what it says on the tin, it performs inclusive and exclusive tax calculations for all canadian provinces and territories including GST, PST, QST and HST (if that means nothing to you – you don’t need it).

Today we finally released Canada Tax to the appstore for review.  Fingers crossed for a quick release.
