RS Toolkit. New app for iPad and iPhone. Free, and very good !

And little prospect of an Android version, unfortunately.

Android has 81% market share for new devices shipped:
and yet companies persist in releasing iPhone apps first!
Arfa Daily was thinking very hard :
Have you a link for this?
Do you have a link please Arfa? I searched on the RS site and drew a blank and iTunes store does not seem to have a toolkit attributed to RS although there are a couple of others from here

Fourth FAQ down....
There is, however, this:

Could it not be written with a compiler that can run under Android OS then?
Its hardly rocket science. all the calculations are readily available and one should be able to transfer them to a computer program reasonably easily. it might not look pretty, but does that really matter? Could not do it now with no sight, but as I say did it years back, and each one would run in 1k of memory! Brian
Colour coding? "Black boys rape our young girls but violet gives willingly." - they don't make mneumonics like that any more! ;-D
I always challenge companies about this when I see it. The last one I questioned, an investment/portfolio management company, told me that iPhone/iPad users are much wealthier than Android users. So I promptly closed my account.
And they certainly didn't in my day, it was the (also non-PC but less offensive) "Black boy Roy offers you gin but prefers good whisky". Learned that 44 years ago, anyone know what they teach now?
Well, I guess iPhone/iPad users do have a higher money/sense ratio than the rest of us, and companies are rather keen on potential customers like that.
And I'd say among techies, who are presumably the target audience for this app, the Android:iOS ratio is about 3 or 4 to 1

Thanks, I have got it now..

Quite, in my sector the people who have to know how things work and be expected to do some first line maintenace are pretty much all using Android based devices. Those that just plug it in and switch it on and if it doesn't work pass the buck to others are mostly on iThingies and think that the best thing since sliced bread is an overlay of an aniamted missile blowing up the still image of their mate...
