Just bought this. Great idea but it is FULL of bugs.

The calculator can't perform basic operations.

It does operations like: 2154x6=54 or 5416x5516=48, it's horrible.

You can't type more than 4 digits in the calculator, the numbers disappear!

Some star signs appear almost out of the screen, you can't read it.

The worst thing is the calculator not working like a normal one. Come on guys, I'm not a programmer but wouldn't that be the easiest part? Like getting it to behave like a normal calculator, being able to type more than 4 digits and getting the basic calculations right...

You have major work to do here, so far, by going through the app, this looks like a super buggy beta version. No way I would perform with this as it is right now, it would be suicide.

I have an original iphone 5, fully working and updated.



I have no clue what you're talking about... both of the equations you mentioned give me the actual results...

What iphone do you have? Maybe it's a bug on some iphone models or something like that

Hey Greg!

Thanks for taking part in the conversation Smile I understand your reluctance but I can assure you, that this is magicians guilt playing tricks on your brain. I've been using this since last year and people just don't back track it. A big part of this is due to the calculator being Cleared by them multiple times. But also by clarifying with them before you reveal the information that they agree that you couldn't know what their pin/star sign/birthdate etc. could be. In the performances from Ryan, he performs very clearly, concisely and gives them time to think twice about whether he could know the information or not. You can genuinely see them thinking for an extra beat before admitting that they know he couldn't know the information.

My friend Ben Allen also shared, in the Facebook Group, a fantastic and practical idea which makes them truly believe the calculator isn't part of the method. I've tried it out since he came up with it and there's no going back.

I do empathise with you though, as I used to feel exactly the same with Billet work. I used to think 'They've given away the information from inside their head so surely they'll put two and two together". Of course, we all know it's just not the case. The same is for Cipher except there are more layers of deception at play. Hence, the wild reactions it constantly gets. To make it even more dumbfounding, when performer use a trick or two as time misdirection, then there's no hope for the spectators to figure it out.

All the best Smile

Ok Lloyd,

I'll give it a try and let you know how it plays.

Thank you for all of hard work in this app.
Greg

BUG FIXES v1.0.2 ||These bugs have now been fixed and your app will already be updated.

- Scientific number issue fixed. No longer shows +e for no reason.
- 6 digit pins now show.
- iPhone SE, 5, 5C and 5S size compatibility fixed.
- Certain phones had issues with thousands separator and decimal point. This should now work correctly.
- In regards to incorrectly sized font, you need to update to the latest iOS.

Will Jones is now working on adding in the new features that you've asked for whilst getting the Android version ready in record time.

Hooray! This is awesome. I'm one of those that has to wait for the Android version, but I'm already working on some ideas and routines to make this work. Can't wait, honestly. Thank you so much for your work!

Hi

I'm curious as to why the e+ figure is seen as a bug? As other have said it's just what a normal calculator ( certainly the iPhone ones) does when the number is too big to fit on screen. It's the exponent. So when you say it's fixed what does that mean? So for example if the number reached from them multiplying is too big then what does the screen show? Sorry if I'm not understanding things properly.
Also, does the calculator flip into scientific mode when phone is in landscape?
I'm just curious. I'll be getting this anyway as it looks awesome. Nice work guys.
Many thanks.

I have, Pegasus. But obviously I've missed the responses so perhaps you could be helpful and answer the questions I have? Thanks.

Ellusionist said Android version will be out very shortly!

I'm curious can one transfer the purchase license key from iPhone to Android?

Anyone else coming across problems when doing calculations after awhile? I have the toxic reveal set at three times equal. It seemed to be workin fine the first dozen or so times I used it, but now after hitting the equals sign for the 2nd time, I get a number with the letter "e" and a "plus" sign.

For example, Using 28 times 11 (Nov 28th) I get the correct 308, but when I then multiple a pin # of 6969 and hit equals, I get this: 2.14645e(plus sign)6

When I then multiple that gibberish by the time, say 545, I get the correct toxic reveal. I've tried clearing things out, closing the calculator and re-opening, etc., but still getting the same issue. Am I doing something wrong?

LankyHobo... so what you might be missing on previous posts is that if you do that calculation as above on a regular calculator, your total on any calculator is 2146452. As you can see, the number of digits in the calculation is no where big enough to have the 'e' in the answer. So going from a big number to the forced number by multiplying again doesn't make sense as the forced number looks significantly smaller than previous result..

From what I understand, that is the bug that got fixed.

Hope that makes more sense.

Thanks very much, Pegasus and Mayhem!
Yes I'd seen those posts but I had misunderstood and thought people believed the exponent itself was a bug, rather than that as you say the calculation wouldn't yeild that result not being big enough. Thanks Smile

Just tried this update out and it did fix the exponent problem but I noticed that once you hit the multiply button, it reverts back to the exponent until you start typing out a new number to multiply. Anyone else have this same thing happen to them?

Still happening to me. I just restarted my phone, typed in 12 x 31 x 9999 and it showed 3,719,628. I pressed 'times' and it immediately changed to 3.71963e6.
I tried the exact same calculation again, and now it just says 3.71963e6 every time.

The iPhone calc is able to display 9 digits in vertical mode before going to scientific notation. Cipher can't seem to reliably do 7...

Admittedly I have not updated my iOS recently, so maybe I'll try that, but not sure why that would matter in this case.

I too would be interested in the Android version once the bugs are sorted out.

Last laugh, my iOS is up to date and I'm having the same issue as you. Though I'm not getting the exponent when I hit "=" anymore like I used to, just when I hit the "times" button
