DangAlarm! Ouch
I just found out my alarm clock is broken. In at least three places. Ouch. I tested it a lot, but I think I fixed, then unfixed, then refixed, then completely broke it while fixing a bug I found at the end that I thought I really, really, really fixed. Have to look into it this weekend and refix it right and upload a new, totally fixed APK.
Coming Soon: Calc Me Sum 2
I'm getting ready to release an update to my calculator, Calc Me Sum. The next version is going to probably be called Calc Me Sum 2. The first version was a minimalist calculator that I thought would be fun to make colorful. So far, I think my mom installed it... just to be nice.
In the interest of more bettering it up, I've added functionality to make it more scientific. It now has trig functions - cos, sin, tan, as well as hyperbolic trig functions: cosh, sinh, and tanh, plus acosh, asinh, and atanh. It also works with degrees and radians. I've also added history that can be shared & copied to the clipboard, and it shows the last equation and the result in a field below the result field. There are more math functions, like cube root, x cubed, ten raised to a power, e raised to a power, log, natural log. Pretty much the basics for a scientific calculator. I'm slowly growing into the UI for calculators so I can start branching out into experimental approaches to calculations and such.
I'm thinking of making a couple more changes before I upload it, but it should be up on Amazon and Google Play within a few hours or a few days.
I might add an interim version with some more features: unit conversions, constants, a stack for more memory, a history and recall of equations. I might ask a dollar or two for that version, but I'll have to see. I'm not big on ads as a revenue model, but I don't like charging a bunch for programs until they're usable, and then, I don't want to charge that much because I think charging what the market will bear, as they say in marketing, ends up hyperinflating the cost of everything. I don't want to get rich, but I really need to eat.
What comes next?
After Calc Me Sum 2 is released, I'm going to work on at least a programmable calculator, financial calculator, and/or a graphing calculator. Though it'll probably be the programmable, since I have a programming language engine already written that I'm interested in making use of. When that gets further along, I'll pre-announce it and give a time-frame for release. I might put out a limited feature version fairly quickly to gauge interest, but I'll have to see how things come together.
