The Best Of Both Worlds

PCalc 3.3 has been released!

Yes, it's been almost exactly two years since the last big PCalc release (on the desktop anyway), but it's time for another one. I've taken many of the improvements made to the code for the iPhone and brought them back to the Mac, given everything a fresh lick of paint, and here's the result. A full list of the changes is here.

This is a free upgrade for all registered users of the Mac OS X version, as a thank you for waiting so long!

Any comments or suggestion to the address below, post them on the forums, or on the Facebook page.

I hope you like it!

PCalc 1.0.2 is now available to download from the App Store.

The main changes are:

• Added multiple undo and redo. Just flick the LCD to the right and left to reveal the past and future.
• You can now change the colors of the LCD display and digits.
• Made the operator buttons more readable.
• Reversed the order of the operator buttons to match other calculators.
• More improvements to the RPN mode.
• Fixed a problem displaying large hex numbers on the tape.

The undo support is pretty cool, you just flick the LCD in the direction you want to go and it animates in the old value. Very "iPhone" even if I say so myself!

Hope you like it! Oh, and check out the PCalc fan page if you are on Facebook - become a fan to tell your friends!

PCalc 1.0.2 has now been submitted to the App Store - it will probably take around a week to show up, assuming everything goes smoothly with Apple's vetting.

I'll let you know when it's available for download.

I'm currently putting the finishing touches to PCalc 1.0.2 - it's got a number of cool new features, most notably the multiple undo and redo support. I won't spoil exactly how it works yet, but I think it came together really well.

I expect the new version will get submitted early next week when my beta testers are happy with it, and hopefully it will turn up on the store soon. I'll let you know.

In the meantime, if you really like PCalc, why not become a fan? I've set up a fan page on Facebook which you can get to here. Click the "Become a Fan" link at the top right of the page to help spread the word.

Thanks!
