Today apple have approved my latest application “Calc My Margins” which is a profit margin calculator for the iPhone.
If you find it hard work to remember the formula for calculating profit margins then this application is perfect for you, simply enter the item cost price and use the application picker to select a percentage for your margin.
The application will then instantly calculate the sell price and show you the gross margin, what makes this application great is that you can easily slide the percentage amount with your finger i.e. 20% to 22% and you can instantly see what the new sell price would be.

The past few weeks and months have been super busy ones, during this time I have been doing a lot of new work mainly working on www.onesmarthost.co.uk and also learning Objective C and iPhone programming so far it is all going well, at the moment I am learning in stages and producing mini apps with the end goal being able to produce a bigger and unique application.
Coming from a DotNet / PHP background has helped me a lot however Objective C and XCode is a new area to me, i was stunned at the first when I went to add a button and click event in VB.NET it’s simple drag a button to the form double click it and type Messagebox.show(“hello world”) however in XCode theres quite a few more steps to be made, however after working with XCode I’m rather liking the new way of coding, its fun and entertaining.
Since June I have decided to remove my first iPhone app from the app store “iTucker”, with the aim to persue writing better apps and also where I hold full copyright to the content
My newest application is Calc VAT, and I will post more information about this in the coming days.
In terms of the blog here I will be posting my ramblings (hopefully not too much), news about my new apps and also how to information on iPhone Dev or Web Hosting.
Well the launch of iTucker went very well on the app store day one has seen 891 downloads worldwide, however a problem was found within hours of the launch on the app store.
During compiling the app iTucker I compiled it for a specific iPhone version 2.2.1 which means older versions of the iPhone firmware cannot download or run iTucker.
So a new version has been submitted to apple this morning with the only change being backward compatibility, hopefully apple will approve this new version very soon.
This morning I woke up to a nice surprise in my inbox, apple have finally approved my first iPhone application iTucker (The Chris Tucker Soundboard App).
It’s a great feeling to see my application on the iPhone app store, although the application is very basic depending on the number of free downloads I will create a new version which will contain more sounds and iphone features such as page slide, shake for random sounds.
With the Chris Tucker Soundboard you can call your friends and mess with their heads…
Here is a short list of sound clips from the Chris Tucker Soundboard
- Don’t be Talking About Me Man
- What’s Your Name Man You Called Us..
- Do You Understand The Words That are coming out of my mouth?
So next time you are on the iPhone app store remember to search for iTucker, which you can download for free.
