Percentages 1.5.0.0
For those who rely on their Windows Phone powered devices for this sort of tasks, there are a few tools the likes of Percentages that will come in handy.
Efficient front-end, with a tidy look
The appearance of this utility is clean and with a visible inclination towards functionality at the expense of good looks. Even so, the graphics are decent and the inspired background image give a good impression at first glance.
The content is well structured, with all the functions and commands neatly stacked in the main screen and also inside the main menu displayed in the lower part of the screen.
Moving through the various areas of Percentages is fluent and lacking any delays or other kind of similar glitches. A constant nuisance is represented by the startup prompt that reminds you that it is a trial version and asks you to purchase the full version.
Fast calculations and detailed explanations
The variety of percentages that can be computed with the help of this utility covers many possibilities. Thus, besides basic calculations like finding out the percentage of a number, this app enables you to discover the percent by which some value has changed.
The decrease percentage, the net worth of an item after a certain deduction was applied or after the value was increased can also be computed on the fly. A neat addition is the "Learn" module that enables you to view how the calculation was carried out, one step at a time.
Unfortunately, in the trial version only the percent of a number can be calculated, as the other tools included in the package require a purchase to unlock.
Configure the app and copy results on the spot
By default, Percentages uses 2 decimals for the calculations, but after a quick visit to the "Settings" area you can increase this number and have up to 6 decimals displayed. You can also activate in there an option that makes the app remember the last calculation.
The answer to any of the computations you carry out with this application can be copied to the system clipboard with a single tap on the corresponding button available from the main menu.
