Oovium is not an attempt to rehash old outdated inventions, but it subsumes much of their functionality.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!

outstanding concept but pitiful documentation

Surjpdx on

United States

Even 11 years old and I’m still a huge fan of this and sadly the programmer is not contactable. i’m only writing this because I see that the subscription is not automatically renewed.I get the feeling this is an abandoned project now which is sad because it is really very cool it just needs some better terminology and vastly better documentation. If you Google hard enough you might find some Vimeo videos which are really bad showing you how to use it but otherwise be prepared to spend a lot of time with trial and error.

Mac app not at all clear

Chairface70 on

The web tutorial only really describes the iOS (iPad) app. The Mac version is different and if you follow the tutorial, bad things happen. Most notably it refers to "hit the '=' key" often but does not mean your physical mac keyboard. Hitting that bizzarely inserts two equal signs in the bubble.

I paid for a subscription but I can’t use the app

why do i need a nickname ??@ on

United States

Subscription is paid but you wont let me use the app. Please return my money.

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.

Disappointed

Crashes on launch on iPad. Used platform this to tell developers. Support via Reddit?

Almost Great

Snickshift on

I love the idea of this app. I could be extremely useful and even game changing. I just wish it would work with my Logitech keyboard. I wish it had a manual or a help file or even pop up labels for its icons. I wish it had a loop structure other than recursion. I wish it had graphing and graphics capabilities. Other than that it is so compelling I can't stop playing with it.

Really useful app

dingo9 on

United States

This app allows me to prototype engineering design genetic algorithm and genetic programming models before I launch into coding. Great for visually analyzing a single example output to debug the logic. Very useful and handy since my iPad mini is quick and available.

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

Creative way to work with numbers

I work extensively with data migrations and business intelligence and this app helps me figure out what is going on. My go-to calculator for investments and all scratch pad math as well.

Fascinating App!

I hope this app continues to get traction. Seems very solid as a work in progress. It is a useful productivity app that draws me in like a game app.
