Oovium is not an attempt to rehash old outdated inventions, but it subsumes much of their functionality. The calculator, spreadsheet, concept map, programming language: Oovium is all of them and it's none of them.
Oovium is the first (but certainly not the last) of an entirely new class of app, the calculation sandbox. It has been made possible by the invention of the touch device and Oovium's clean, efficient and tactile interface, designed for such devices, has been part of its DNA since its inception.
At its heart, Oovium aspires to make powerful, sophisticated and complex abilities (such as those currently available only to programmers) accessible to a wider audience. Oovium understands that increasing accessibility does not mean dumbing down an application by hiding complex functionality, it means making that complex functionality understandable by creating explicit visual representations for it.
The workspace of Oovium is a two-dimensional surface known as the Aether. Upon this aether a user can place Bubbles. There are currently four types of bubbles:
- InstBub is an instance of an object, usually a number, which in turn may be the result of an expression.
- MechBub allows the user to define their own functions.
- GridBub allows for a tabular arrangement of numbers and expressions similar to a spreadsheet.
- TextBub is a node that can be connected to other TextBub nodes in order to create concept maps.
These bubbles can be connected to each other in order to render sophisticated calculations in a visual (and aesthetic) way. Libraries of custom functions can be developed and included in other aethers when needed.
The concept of Oovium has six different aspects; in its current form it contains only one of these six aspects. It is a highly ambitious project with much more planned, that hopes to empower users; it hopes to change the way people think about and work with their computers; in short, it hopes to change the world! Come help drive its functionality; come help make Oovium happen!

1.1.4
2013-06-10
BUBBLES:
- IfBub : A visual conditional that can be used instead of the in-bubble 'if' function. Aside from its visual representation, it also has the advantage of only evalutating the appropriate resultant. This makes the IfBub very useful in creating recursive functions without needing to use the Function data type.
- TailBub : A new type of a MechBub specifically designed for creating recursive functions, greatly simplifing the ability to create loops. The TailBub's visual structure guides the user in creating a tail call optimized recursion which has performance advantages over MechBub recursion, but more importantly eliminates the 500 loop limit of the MechBub. (The TailBub will process for up to 1 second, which allow for signficantly more iterations)
- CronBub : Allows for the creation of a timer that increments its value periodically based on input parameters. The utility of the CronBub, is perhaps a bit limited at this point, but it will become an essential tool for modeling and animating with the arrival of the 2nd aspect of Oovium.
- TypeBub : Allows for the mapping of entities and relationships. Currently, the TypeBub is not integrated with the other bubble types of Oovium and is a faint shadow of it's ultimate functionality. However, it has been slipped into this version both as a preview of future attractions and because even in it's current form, it can be useful in creating some simple diagrams.
FUNCTIONS:
- [!,&,|] - the 'not' !, 'and' & and 'or' | operators have been added to the Lexicon
OTHER:
- The resolution of exported images has been increased to match the retina display. There are still plans to create a vector output, but that hasn't been done yet.
- In conjunction with the conversion of Oovium to OS X, once again massive under-the-cover refactoring has occurred with this version, including the conversion to the ARC memory model, a revamp of the Hover mechanism, some tweaks to the Math engine and major restructing of the Bubble system to allow for easier creation of new Bubbles, although more work is still needed with that.

Version 1.1.3.1
Bug Fixes
Version 1.1.3
GRIDBUB:
- Tapping a header will move the focus to it.
- Retapping the current header will close it.
- Double tapping a header will allow for the header name to be edited.
- Columns are now deleted via the column editor.
- Columns can be reordered by anchor-dragging the headers. (It's no longer necessary to be in 'exposed' mode)
- A new row number column has been added to the left side of the GridBub called the 'lefter'.
- Rows can be reordered by anchor-dragging the row by its lefter.
- Rows can be selected from its lefter and deleted, from the new row editor.
- The top left tab of the GridBub, no longer does anything in the current version. However, I will be adding functionality back to it soon, so I am leaving it there visually.
- The new 'equal tab' has been added to the bottom right of the GridBub. The equal tab will determine the behavior of the equal key. In the right position, the cell cursor will move to the right; in the down position, the cell cursor will move downward; in the diagonal position, the cell will simply close as normal.
- The GridBub has been entirely rewritten from the ground up in order to significantly improve it's performance
STRINGS:
The String data type has finally been added to Oovium. Any text embedded between quotes will be converted into a String. These Strings, of course, can now be typed into the cells of a GridBub. The addition operator will also work between Strings and between Strings and Numbers.
LEXICON:
A function Lexicon has been added. The lexicon can be accessed via the 'mis' tab of the expression editor. Subsets of functions can be displayed by using the function filter in the upper right of the hover. Tap a function to get a description and a list of the input and output datatypes. Double tap the function to insert it into your current expression.
FUNCTIONS:
- The power operator (^) and sqrt function have been changed. The versions that take Real inputs will now only return Real outputs. Inputs that would have previously returned Complex values will now simply return NaN. The Complex versions will work as before. To force the use of the Complex version on a Real value, the Real value must be converted to Complex using the Complex constructor (or by adding 0i).
- [sec,csc,cot] - the secant, cosecant and cotangent functions have been added to the Lexicon.
- [≠,≤,≥] - the not equal, the lesser than or equal and the greater than or equal operators have been added to the 'mis' tab.
- [random] - the random function has been added to the Lexicon. The function will return a random number from 0 to n-1.
MECHS:
The recursion limit on Mechs has been increased from 99 to 500 before generating a stack overflow error.
EXTERNAL KEYBOARD:
Rudimentary support for the external keyboard has been added. Please go to the forum for more discussion on this topic.
NOTES:
Oovium is going to experiment with a new update strategy. In the hopes of increasing the rate of development, I am planning to submit more frequent, but smaller versions of Oovium going forward. I hope to have at least one major functional addition as well as a few minor ones and of course bug fixes with each version.
NOTE TO GERMAN AND JAPANESE USERS:
With this new update strategy it will be prohibitively expensive to retranslate Oovium with each version. So, I'm going to rely on computerized translation in the interim and then resubmit the translations to the translators at the end.
NOTE TO JAPANESE USERS:
The new String data type does not allow for Japanese text entry at this time. I'm working on a handful of solutions for this and will try to get them to you guys as soon as possible.

Robert Barr,
Promising
Happy to contribute to such a creative approach to tablet-based calculation, which is sorely lacking IMO. I find conventional spreadsheets are annoying and unsuitable for the tablet interface. None of them rank over 3 stars in the store, and I completely understand why. I believe this one could get to 5 given the obvious talent of the developer. From an engineering POV, this is my idea of a great app for entering lab measurements with a library of functions for post-processing the data (a critical use-case I believe for adoption). The only major things I am missing after creating my first function library and dependent ether are strings, constants, and units. The minor issues associated with automatic numeric representation and column widths will undoubtedly work themselves out in near-term updates. I get it ... start with the simplest interface and add complexity only when unavoidable. This is very impressive given the current readiness level. Thanks for yet another reason for employers to issue iPads. I'm very much looking forward to the complete implementation of the vision (suspense deadly). Recommendation: Buy now before the price goes way up.
Rummelpalooza,
Oovium is ALIVE!!!
Guys,
This app is great. It has use possibilities that haven't even been realized yet. I gave it 4 stars instead 5 because of where it is now as opposed to its destination. This app is in its infancy stages and between its developer and the end users, this can grow to something universally useful for everyone.
I needed to utilize support recently and the response was excellent. The developer is also invested in its success. The company is small but diligent. I have been told by the developer that a new iteration of Oovium is being worked from the ground up and taking what is possible now and expanding its possibilities even more.
Keep the faith Oovites
This app is great. It has use possibilities that haven't even been realized yet. I gave it 4 stars instead 5 because of where it is now as opposed to its destination. This app is in its infancy stages and between its developer and the end users, this can grow to something universally useful for everyone.
I needed to utilize support recently and the response was excellent. The developer is also invested in its success. The company is small but diligent.

Great Potential, but a Very Poor Marketing Approach.
I have oovium classic on my iphone, but the paid version is too expensive, as well as too limited in accessibility to afford. I WISH there was a pay-once option, (not sure if I know enough to say this, but $30 a year from each user is quite excessive, and presumably why the app has only 17 reviews for the 4+ years it (the paid app) has been on the app store.)
If you made the app into a one-time purchase worth at least no more than $10, but ideally $3.99 or less, then you would have exponentially more purchasers that would (likely) result in well-over 20x your current earning rate. Then, if necessary, raise the purchase price for new buyers by maybe a dollar or two, once Oovium has gathered a wide-spread reputation, and earn even more. You could possibly obtain donation money as well from strongly-supportive clients.
The only applications that can somewhat-justifiably get away with $30+ yearly subscriptions, are name-brand tools like adobe photoshop, Microsoft Office, etc.
However, the most painful thing to see is that Oovium is Apple-exclusive. No one is going to be able to save Oovium if someone creates an open-source donation-based alternative with wider cross-platform availability.

Swarname,
Works like my brain
As a mind or concept mapping tool, Oovium is unsurpassed. Most other apps of this kind make you think like the app...Oovium allows me to make a map reflecting the way I think. For specific tasks the flexibility of this app makes it possible to approach diverse problems in the optimal manner, differently from one to the next. In combination with these attributes, the addition of mathematical elements have proven invaluable in modeling a mechanical system. I first map out the general structure of a machine, then I use the numerical functions to flesh out the model. In gear ratios for example, I can enter constant values and immediately see the effect of changing one or more variables in the system.

Good & Creative with great potential
This app is terrific. Unique and creative. It allows you to work with values and the relationships between values in a visual freeform way. Think spreadsheet with free floating cells unanchored from a grid. This will not be an app for everyone, it is a matter of taste in how you think. I love spreadsheets and this app does not replace 'em. But this is the only app I can turn to that works in the way my mind needs to for some types of problems. So when I do use it, I love it and I support it with 5 stars. An app that I fully appreciate having.
--------
Very nice app. Very creative. Think mind mapping for calculations.
Looking forward to future versions to realize it's fuller potential.

A great math tool
In a short time, I have found this app to be a must-have math tool when I need to do spreadsheet-like calculations fast; when I need to program a quick formula to do repetitive calculations; when I need to save math doodling that I usually do on scrape paper, but can now do with this tool and retain the calculations to redo with new figures. It is a new way in doing certain things that I have done before with other programmable calculators and spreadsheets, but can now do using a creative concept where you control the the math tool to the way you think. It makes the old ways of doing math a little more fun in the process.

Truly Unique !!
I can finally perform "back of the envelope" calculations electronically. This truly may be less effort than doing initial rough calculations by hand.
I am a Structural Engineer and perform design calculations routinely throughout the day. My calculations usually begin by hand and then eventually over time are programmed into an Excel spreadsheets for repetitive use in the future. I can see the ability of effortlessly creating those initial hand calculations in this program.
The interface of this program makes use of all the strengths of a tablet computer.
Clearly the developer has bigger plans for this software but even in its current version (1.1.2.4) the potential is obvious. I look forward to exploring this program as it currently stands and eagerly await future updates.

Odd, unwieldy interface prevents real use
I get that the developer doesn't like the standard iOS interface, but the new interface acts peculiar and you are left guessing how to do things.
Delete an Aether? Change the Aether settings? Rename an Aether? Drop the number box thing out of your way? Undo? Change the default black background to something else? I don't have any cues or clues for how to do these things in the new interface. The iOS interface may not suit everyone's tastes, but at least it's obvious how to delete/rename/hide/scroll...
The little in-app tutorial is good, but only limited to how to make bubbles. The help on anchoring is fine, but where are the rest of the help files?
Video-based information is useless for people that can't view videos on websites (many places have this locked down!)
Unless cues and clues for using the interface are added or the developer uses the iOS interface, the app's interface prevents many of the possibilities/features from actually being used, so they might as well not even be there. I hope this is fixed very soon.

Beautiful
This app is a thing of beauty. Using it reminds me of what it felt like to use Labview on a MacIIx 25 years ago!! Hopefully this is just the first stage in the evolution of what an iPad spreadsheet app should be. Looking forward to seeing it grow. In the meanwhile my wish list would be the inclusion of a random number generator function and some loop structure.

Truly brilliant idea, but crash-prone and poor docs
This is a brilliant idea, but the execution is lacking, plus the documentation could be much better. I've managed to crash it 5 times in the last 15 minutes experimenting with it. I just love the concept, and wish this developer would spend all his effort on rock-solid stability and error handling/recovery, not to mention improve the documentation. This is a beta at best right now, but one with great promise. My equation for this app: 5 stars for the idea minus 2 stars for its lack of stability and good documentation.
