Best app for ipad

It's called sr alchemy and it's amazing. Pretty much u just check your ingredients and it will tell you all potions you can make with them. Well worth the dollar I spent on it.

You can do the same just by visiting this website, and it's free.

iPad app much easier to use, it's worth the dollar for it being easier. To each his own.

Also found a map app, can't remember name right now but let's you mark locations and take notes on them or look at the wiki page.

It would never occur to me to use something that required a separate appliance and an app (no matter how cheap) for same in order to do something I can do just by having a browser window open on the other monitor. But yes, each to her own.

That gives you even less of an excuse, quite frankly...

But anyway, the purpose of this thread isn't to bash your opinion.

I can sit the iPad on my lap while playing and its easier to use the app then use the website that was posted earlier. It's quicker to add and subtract ingredients on app then it s on website, seems like good excuse to me.

Well, that makes some sense then. Nitnoidy way to do stuff, but likely your eyes are better than mine.

Trust me I used to dual monitor games when I had my computer and loved it. If I had it on computer would be for sure, used to play lots of games that way.

I've had dual screens for around 10 years. I really would like a third one, but don't have the desk room until I redo the setup later this year. By this time, I'm pretty sure I would HATE going back to one screen (well, I KNOW I would, since when I'm forced to use my laptop somewhere, I get REALLY annoyed....)

To each his own.

In my case, that's literally true. I use my own website (see signature) on my Kindle Fire while playing (much as the OP does with the iPad - not because I'm on x-box, I just like being able to actually scroll through my ingredients while using my site), so I designed it to work well with tablet input (no typing, no drop menus). Of course, it works even better on my PC (utilizing various hover effects you can't do on a tablet because they don't have mouse over / hover). I've tried the site on an iPad, and the bigger screen and better performance just makes the site that much easier to use. It would work fine on a phone in theory, but I think that would be pushing it a bit in terms of the interface controls being to small to easily deal with and having to scroll around a lot to see everything. Phone designs are a whole different animal from anything with a screen over 6 inches, even.

Interface design means a lot in terms of personal preference, so I can't make any critiques there. I literally haven't been able to figure out how to use some of the alchemy sites I;ve some across, and others have features I like a great deal, enough that I still sometimes visit them to answer questions my DB isn't set up for yet.
-http://keke.itarium.ch/uploads/alchemy/ for comparing values of recipes / effects. One of the best I've found in terms of simplicity of input and quality of output. (Mus simpler than my own, partly because its more focused in purpose).
-There's one out there that takes you actual inventory numbers and turns it into a list of what potions you can make to maximize your profits (like "you can make 3 of this and 5 of this and 2 of this and 7 of this). That's a really freaking hard bit of programming to do, assuming it is actually doing what is says it does. If anybody can find the link, I'd love to bookmark it. Damn wiki mods seem to go on a weekly ramage to "clear out the link spam" from their alchemy tools sections. :rollyes:

Instead of any critique of other tools / designs, I will offer that my site is designed to answer almost any possible question about what Alchemy recipes can do, and is being improved on weekly in terms of both data and features. Its a bit on the techy / math side in terms of working logic for some folks, but that comes with the territory. This past weekend brought book-marking for your settings, meaning you can save your settings and share them with others. For example, here's ahttp://209.46.18.232/wiers.us/skyalc/workbench.php?recipes_tab&show=results Next weekend I intend to do potion values and comments on exceptional effects.

I have now bookmarked your site, UncAlc - because I couldn't find it in a hurry for a guy the other day. I think you've done a marvelous job, and I'm sure it will get better as you tweak!

Yeah, one big tweak will be getting a domain name registrar. Don't worry, the current links you have bookmarked will still work, they are just kinda haxy, like getting to google via http://74.125.224.72/

EDIT - Hmm, I just worked a little net voodo and now you can reach my site at http://skyrim.alchemista.net , but I'd stick with the IP based url if you have it handy.
