Yesterday, MarkIt Up 1.2 was approved and released by Apple to the Apple iTunes App Store. This update has two important updates.

Firstly, it fixes an issue that was created in MarkIt Up 1.1. This was an issue when a user would perform a calculation and then tap on the results (to perform another calculation with the results). The number that was moved into the Price field was in the wrong format and would break the app. That is fixed now.

Secondly, the update includes a new feature. Now, you can enter two different prices and calculate the difference between the prices (percentage). This is a feature that I wanted to add to the app from the begining, but held it off so I coud release the app. 

Enjoy the update. There are more to come. 

I am happy to announce that my latest application has been approved by Apple and placed on the Apple iTunes App Store. The application is called MarkIt Up.

This app is another collaboration between Brad and myself. We wanted to make another iPhone app together. This is one of the ideas that we came up with. 

So what does MarkIt Up do? 

Brad wanted a way to add a mark up cost to certain freelance and work projects. He needs to do this a lot in his profession and wanted a super simple app to use. 

For Brad it was important to be able to mark up costs. For me, I wanted to be able to easily apply a discount to a price. I can often do these in my head, but I wanted something easier.

MarkIt Up is also a great way to add sales tax to the price of something quickly. If something is $59.99 and there is 6% sales tax, use MarkIt Up to find out the final price quickly ($63.59). 

In the future, we plan on adding a way to find out the percentage marked up (or down) based on two prices. We were going to try to add this to the initial release, but we wanted to get the application released. We plan on adding that shortly in a free update.

MarkIt Up keeps a running history of the calculations you perform. This makes it easy to go back and look at what you’ve marked up or discounted down in the past. You can clear the entire history, or individual history items.
