Oovium
"Oovium completely subverts
the traditional way of working
with a calculator" - Ian at iPadZH.com
"This must be the most innovative and fun to use calculator I have ever come across. Using it on the iPad is a sheer delight. Looking forward to the implementation of saved calculations and functions." - Dominic Van Hove
"Thanks for such a brilliant concept with Oovium. I don't get this excited about apps very often. So excited to see what you have in store for us!" - blue_healer (alex)
Oovium re-envisions the calculator and spreadsheet for iOS and its devices as a mathematical sandbox. It allows users to visually map out complex calculations, arrange data into tables and define custom functions.
It also attempts to replace the whiteboard by allowing users to create and layout text nodes and then designate directed links between them; creating highly flexible mind maps (i.e., directed graphs).
Oovium aspires to be a highly visual and highly tactile tool; incorporating a suite of gestures that create a natural and efficient way of interfacing with its various elements.
"Moving a bubble by anchoring the field with one finger and dragging with another has got to be one of the most brilliant uses of multi-touch that I've ever seen. This app has so much potential; i could see it being featured by Apple for the innovative interface!" - kbsims
What's new
MIND MAPPING:
A Text Bubble tool has been added to the tool bar. It will allow you to place text into a bubble of the color and shape of your choosing. These bubbles can be linked to one another, creating directed graphs (digraphs). Check out the 'mapper' tutorial to learn how to use this new tool.
SKINS:
A skinning mechanism has been added which will allow users to pick between the old 'Tron' skin or the new 'Ivory' skin. Go to the settings area to switch your skin.
EXPORT IMAGE:
Aether / Album (from the Menu) will store an image of the current aether in the 'Photos' section of your device.
NEW GESTURES:
- Double tapping on an instance bubble will open its label editor.
- Double tapping on the aether to create a new bubble while editing an existing bubble will send an implied equals to the existing bubble.
RECURSION:
The creation of recursive Mechs has been fixed and bullet proofed. Tentatively, recursive Mechs will be able to go 100 levels deep. This limit will probably be raised as things stabilize. If you are interested in exploring this, the construction, if(x>1,[...],[...]) will be very useful.
NEW RUNNING AGGREGATE:
A new option has been added to the aggregate menu for GridBub columns. The Running aggregate will calculate the running total for a column; useful for calculating running balances or amortization schedules.
SCIENTIFIC NOTATION:
Numbers will now be displayed using scientific notation when appropriate.
OTHER:
- There has been a fairly significant revamping of much of the graphics.
- The calculation algorithm has been refactored (again) greatly improving stability.
- Various other improvements and bug fixes have been achieved!
