Suppressing error values in shared apps
Have you ever created an app using Calcapp only to find that your app displays error values in red?

Feature: Keyboard shortcuts
Our October release improves Calcapp Creator’s support for keyboard shortcuts. We have tried to focus on common-sense shortcuts that will make using the product easier for all users. For instance, to navigate between fields, press the up and down buttons on your keyboard. To move from editing the caption of a field to editing its formula, simply press Enter – and then press Enter to move back to the field.

There are also shortcuts for creating new items, deleting and moving them and for quickly moving to the inspector and back again.

If you have spent any length of time developing apps with Calcapp, you have likely found yourself having to include the same formula fragments in many different formulas. If you need to convert an input number to a different unit before using the converted number in three different formulas, you need to include the conversion logic three times.
