Description
iSlideRule is a fully customizable sliderule app supporting multiplication, sines, tangents, cosines, cotangents, roots, squares, logarithms, and hyperbolics.
There are nearly 100 different scales supported by iSlideRule, including scales for dimensional analysis. From the set of scales provided, 12 can be selected for the top and bottom rules, as well as the slide, in groups of 4 scales each. Double-tapping each rule selects the next group of 4 within the application. A two-finger pan left or right on the center slide provides viewing of the index ends, while one finger swiping up or down on the cursor changes color schemes dynamically.
The application supports rotation of the handheld, allowing the sliderule to take full advantage of the display, and has 11 selectable color schemes to customize your sliderule to your favorite color.

Ratings and Reviews
Best slide rule app
This is simply the best slide rule app i've tried, does everything that my old physical rule did and much more - clearly designed by someone who knows about using a slide rule instead of a calculator.
Very comprehensive
This is a smooth and very complete slide rule simulation. However, finding the controls to choose the scales & colours puzzled me for a while - they turn up under the main settings app, not within the app itself. I'm sure lots of other apps use this device but it was new to me.
Not very useful, alas.
I may be missing something, but there doesn't seem to be a way of ordering the scales . . . A/B and C/D are miles apart and can only be used with the cursor. This alone makes it quite useless as a replacement for a real SR. Pity, as there's a good range of scales and the rule itself is quite readable. If only there were a way of positioning the scales! As things stand, I'm deleting it from my phone and hoping the feature will be added someday so I won't have wasted my money.
