I have just finished uploading the latest update for FSWizard apps to both iOS and Android stores.
Your iOS update should be available in about 3 to 5 days, while it is already available on Google Play.
As always my thanks go to Apple for killing 90% of my day on trying to find and fix stupid xCode quirks. Thanks, apple guys! I wouldn't know what to do with all of my time if your stuff worked the way it was supposed to!
Here are just some of the changes in the latest version v1.40

Amid the huge amount of work that has been put lately into development of HSMAdvisor and FSWizard Speed and Feed Calculators, I have completely forgot to mention something important.
Since version 1.37 iOS (as well as Android) version of FSWizard Lite Mobile calculator can be "unlocked" and upgraded to the full PRO version for free!
Have just released another update to FSWizard for mobile devices.
Version 1.26 available now for Android and in a week for iOS adds Countersink/ Drillpoint Calculator. It allwos to enter tool diameter, Tip angle, and a diameter of countersink reqiured. It outputs Depth required to achive such diameter.
Also Thread size dropdown list was fixed. It was showing wrong thread sizes when calculator was loaded with thread form other than UNC.
In other news i have spent a whole day trying to upload updated FSWizard to the iTunes appstore.
Every time i make an update for iOS i dread that very thing. Every time i have to spend anywhere from several hour to several DAYS trying to upload an already finished app. Sometimes i have to restart my computer, sometimes clean the project , sometimes i need to dance around singing voodoo songs....
Apple, YOU take 30% of my profit, I pay YOU 100$ a year just for the privelege of designing apps for your devices. Can YOU please make the damn thing work THE first time i try it?

Happy New Year !
First of all i would like to thank everybody for their continuing support and feedback - without you my work would not be this rewarding and fun. This holiday season sale has been a success and it is only reassuring me that i am moving in the right direction regarding development of this software.
Also 20 days after the very first release of FSWizard for iOS, sales for it and the Android versions have been going very strong. Which means i will be putting even more effort into improving the mobile versions as well.
New things in HSMAdvisor 0.701:
Cut and Form taps have been added.
Boring Bar has been added to the tool type list
Scallop calculator has been added for ballnose type endmills
Updated and fixed things:
Effective diameter for tapered endmills (like V-Bits) has been fixed
Deflection model for endmills has been improved
BallNose endmills are now considered slotting (floor milling) only when their WOC is set equal to the diameter of the tool. When WOC is not equal to the tip Dia, it is presumed the cutter is milling the wall rather than the floor
Some Tool Geometry fields have been moved to a new tab.
Again after this release i will shift my attention back to mobile versions of FSWizard
Note: Certain HSMAdvisor Licenses Include FSWizard PRO For Android for Free!! Check out our HSMAdvisor Web Storefor Details

Please try the Free FSWizard Lite first to confirm your device capability. Also huge thanks to those who go through the trouble and leave a review. Good reviews mean more sales and more incentive for me to further improve on this app.
FSWizard Lite and FSWizard PRO are iPhone/Android machinist calculators that do not require internet connection. PRO version has all the latest material lists and speed and feed technology.
Lite version has all the same features, but it only has tool steel, mild steel and aluminum in its material list. It still has all the tool types and tool materials found in online and standalone versions Both Lite and Pro versions have unlocked tapping data.
Lite versions have limited geometry calculators.
This app is intended not to replace but to complement my much more powerful standalone Windows application called HSMAdvisor.
