After a long wait between the original launch and now, the update for my first app is finally here. SineWave has continued with pretty consistent sales which prompted me to say thank you by doing a major rebuild and redesign in preparation for future updates. While the first version was based on the classic HP calculators, this version now sports a thoroughly modern and slick interface that not only looks sweet, but is a lot easier to use. The interface has a much cleaner and more logical interface, using the navigation bar like most modern apps to it’s advantage.
Each calculator has received a code overhaul and interface re-thought. The results are a lot more accurate and take advantage of the new settings feature. I went back to the drawing board to create an input interface that worked with the theme, provided instruction without actually having any and made the app easier to grasp. In the end I came up with a very custom text field and improved keyboard interface, that work like normal while looking a whole lot better.
As mentioned, you can now customise the new data saving feature, decimal places and rounding mode from the new settings panel, accessible from the home screen. The options work with all the calculators (Not including Documentation), allowing you to make SineWave work the way you want it to!
And finally, the instantaneous calculator has a new button, called ‘Copy-to-peak’, that will paste the peak value from a Basic mode calculation into the peak input field, with the tap of a finger. A nice and very much needed synergy, in the future, more of the calculators will have more of a connection with each other, adding even more usefullness to this neat app.
The updates 1.2 and 1.3 are planned to introduce new features and calculators. If you wish to have a calculator included in a future release, please drop a comment!
