Tapbots releases Calcbot, Macheist makes it cheap

taptaptap, Tapbots, and Macheist have released a very well-designed calculator app for the iPhone and iPad called Calcbot -- it's available for 99 cents right now on the App Store. I would say that I don't know why we need another calculator app on the store, but this one's designed by Tapbots, so it's basically a clinic in UI design for the iPhone: clean and beautiful Retina Display-enabled buttons, gorgeous animations, a swipe-to-access extra set of functions, and the ability to go back and look at past calculations and even email them off. Basically, this is a calculator app you want to take a look at, even if you already have a calculator app.

Plus, Macheist is sweetening the deal as usual -- that 99 cent price is for a limited time only, and if you do pick up the app, you can spread the word about Calcbot on Facebook and pick up a free copy of the Socialite social networking app for Mac, which will allow you to manage all of your various social personalities all just one place. That's a $29 value right there, so you're basically making $28 on the deal -- excellent offering.

it's well worth 99 cents, specially there's no default calculator app on the iPad.

Also it puts "*/" before "+-" so that comes in handy.

It doesn't seem to do financial calculations, so this would not be something I would buy.

Does "Retina Display-enabled" mean high pixel density or resolution independent? I thought Apple was wanting developers to focus the energies on the latter.

You can get Socialite for free. If only you post some message on your facebook.

Actually, you don't even have to buy Calcbot to get the free copy of Socialite. That's according to the website, anyway. I haven't tried it yet. But I will as soon as I finish posting this...

Nice design as with all Tapbots apps, but Soulver kicks its butt and steals its ice cream cone.

I tried Soulver, but "Powerone Financial" is quite a bit better than that. It has a horrible name, since it does way more than financial, but the main thing it does much better than Soulver (and anything else so far) is let you solve for any variable in a multi-variable equation. It doesn't care what side of the = sign the unknown you want is.

I'm sure the "58,008" entry is an easter egg. Turn it upside-down to see 80085/BOOBS like we did in elementary school.
