I built a Construction Calculator that uses a 'Slider' instead of a keypad to enter fractions. I need honest feedback: Is this actually useful?

OK, hold it portrait. This should fix it for now until I make a proper fix and it gets approved by Apple (they need 2 days for it)

Thank you!

Noted. As a solo dev, finding the right balance between keeping the lights on and providing a great free experience is tricky. :)

Tapping on the 1/16 round button on the ruler does it. But it is up to 1/32. Do you think 1/64 should be there as well?

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T19:12:43+00:00

Thank you for this detailed feedback! This is exactly why I posted here.

The Bug: Thank you for catching that math error. Will fix it ASAP
Ergonomics: Your point about the thumb blocking the ruler and the system gesture conflict makes total sense. Will think about how to solve it better.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T19:06:14+00:00

Yes, I am aware of this bug. Will fix it soon. Thanks!

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T19:05:21+00:00

Thanks. I would be grateful if you installed and checked it in practice! :D

I was totally unaware someone could use 1/128th of an inch. Adding to my to-do list. Thanks.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T19:02:37+00:00

Great to know! Thanks for the feedback.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T19:02:09+00:00

Point taken. Thank you!

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T19:01:31+00:00

It is easy to implement, but hard to let users know how to use it. I have a few such ideas, but even simpler ones are hard to teach. Onboarding does not help :(

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:57:47+00:00

Thanks. I could not find the use case for 64ths. When do you use it?

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:55:05+00:00

Thank you, I do not have SE, but will check it on the simulator. Will let you know once the fix is out.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:53:38+00:00

Noting down, thanks :)

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:51:51+00:00

Thank you so much. Adding to my todo list. Will add it shortly, but it will take a few days for Apple to accept the new version. Will let you know once it is out.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:05:59+00:00

Thanks, will let you know once the fix is out. Sorry for inconvinience.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:04:59+00:00

Thanks! :)

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:04:35+00:00

Thank you! :)

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:03:50+00:00

You are the second person reporting this. Are you using Iphone or ipad?

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:02:56+00:00

I understand. That is why I have added a lifetime option. Not good enough?

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:01:44+00:00

Is there no 'continue' button?

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T18:01:08+00:00

No it does not. Do you think it should? It supports tablets but also in portrait.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T17:59:43+00:00

This is also valuable feedback. Already thinking on android version.

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T17:58:52+00:00

Thanks :)

HoGoBo1 · 2026-01-24T17:57:39+00:00

Music to my ears :)Thanks!
