Soulver 4: Biggest Update in 7 Years Now Available
The notepad calculator for Mac, iPad, and iPhone receives a major update with 50+ new features.
1What is Soulver?
Soulver is a notepad calculator app that has been in development since 2005. Users type their calculations in plain text while the app instantly displays results in a side column. Ideal for budgeting, creating quotes, and 'what-if' scenarios. It's known among users as one of those apps that stays open all day.
2Biggest Update in 7 Years
Soulver's first major update in 7 years brings over 50 new features. The most notable is the trip planning functionality. Users input how many nights they want to spend in each destination, and Soulver automatically calculates dates for each leg. When rearranging the itinerary, dates update instantly.
3One-Time Purchase, Not Subscription
Soulver prefers a one-time purchase model over subscriptions. Responding to user requests, it now supports universal purchase: buy once and use on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The app normally costs $59.
4Special Discount for MacStories Readers
A special discount is available for MacStories readers until September 11. Soulver 4 can be purchased for $39 instead of $59. Additionally, a 60-day free trial is available, allowing users to test if the app suits their needs.
5Who is it For?
Soulver is designed especially for those who like to solve numerical problems step by step. It simplifies daily calculations, budget planning, and travel organization. However, it might be too complex for basic calculator needs.
6The Importance of User Feedback
Developer Zac states that user feedback has been his biggest motivation to continue improving Soulver for 20 years. He receives almost daily messages from users about how useful the app is. This feedback also plays a crucial role in developing new features.
7Similar Apps in the Market
Numi could be considered Soulver's closest alternative, but Soulver's unique features like trip planning set it apart. While other calculator apps offer traditional interfaces, Soulver provides a more natural, notepad-like experience.
8Future Expectations
With universal purchase support and new trip planning features, Soulver is expected to expand its user base. It's becoming an attractive option especially for frequent travelers and financial planners. The app's loyal user community is welcoming the new features with enthusiasm.
