Not. :/ I did find one but it’s in German. I gave up and used my desktop
$5 for a one star app. Wow. For a buck I would have tried it anyway. For $5 I’ll use my desktop PC I guess.
What exactly do you need to calculate to make juices? I’m asking because this could be an easy project for me to get into iOS programming, but I haven’t the slightest idea about juice creation/mixing. Can you give me a link or something to get started?
I thought Apple/Mac/iPhone had a ban on tobacco, and tobacco related products, that resulted in e-liquid calculators also being banned. Am I mistaken?
That would sound very Apple like, but another poster says there is one app, it’s just not a free one, and it has a bad rating.I thought Apple/Mac/iPhone had a ban on tobacco, and tobacco related products, that resulted in e-liquid calculators also being banned. Am I mistaken?
So I repeat my question: if someone could summarize the requirements, I might try to write one, it seems easy enough (I’m a software developer, but I haven’t written a line of code in almost twenty years, it would be a cool way to get back into it).

I cannot comment on the Apple side of things (not a fan of Apple products so I don't own any) but the calculator breaks down how much of each ingredient you would need to use to make a desired quantity of juice.
Let's say you want to make a juice. You input your desired amount you want to make, the ratio of pg/vg that you want it to be, nicotine level, and percentages of the flavors you want to add, and it calculates how much of each ingredient is needed to achieve the desired quantity of end product.
As I understand it the reason there are so few iOS apps is the obnoxiousrequirements Apple puts on the App Store. Making free stuff is effectively discouraged and theylike to vet people’s code. My sister Does iPhone apps for USBank. I can ask her about it if you’d like.
Thanks, that won’t be necessary. You’re wrong, it is not true that there are ‘so few’ iOS apps, Apple’s App Store has long been the leader, by quality and quantity of their apps. Maybe Android has overtaken them by now, I wouldn’t know, but probably not by much, it’s certainly a close race.
What is true, however, is that every single app in Apple’s App Store has been checked/vetted by Apple, albeit summarily, if it conforms to Apple’s terms, conditions and also guidelines (no porn etc). Unlike on Android, you can’t distribute apps via internet and install them without the App Store, so there’s no way around their vetting. Which is also a good thing, because they check these apps for malicious code (there are quite a few ‘bad’ Android apps out there).
Nothing prevents a developer from writing free apps, and there are tons of free iOS apps available. However, since you need to go through their vetting procedure, there are less ‘quick and dirty’ iOS apps, that’s probably true, whereas for Android, nothing prevents a guy to write something in a couple of hours and put it on a server for unsigned apps, so there’s that. But most of these are not very useful, otherwise the developer would probably choose the official way, and earn a few bucks while doing it.
Yes they were banned a couple years ago.I thought Apple/Mac/iPhone had a ban on tobacco, and tobacco related products, that resulted in e-liquid calculators also being banned. Am I mistaken?
Quality I grant you. But I used to have an Android, and now when I look for an app to do whatineededtodoon Android there’s a good 50% chance one doesn’t even exist (example above) and if they do exist there are half as many. Apple tends to have more games and sales apps, but those are generally useless to me.
Some interesting stats about Google Play Store vs. Apple App Store apps and development
Actually, android seems to be much bigger. It seems that a lot of Apple apps are being ported over to android as well, and not nearly as many android apps are going to apple.
