I am pretty new to iPhone development and currently working on an application which includes a view that performs a simple numerical calculation. In particular, the user enters 3 or 4 values into text fields and the view displays the result. Something along the lines of http://www.moneychimp.com/calculator/compound_interest_calculator.htm

What is the nicest way to achieve this? I am currently using simple UITextFields and a UILabel for the result but it doesn’t look nice or “native-like”. What UI object would be best to use?

Thank you!

    It’s entirely up to you. You’re using the right classes for actual input- it comes down to how you choose to style those classes. I’d suggest looking at the documentation for UIView and CALayer (youView.layer, and include QuartzCore framework in your project).

    A good start might be to choose a color scheme, a background for your app, and the look and feel you’re shooting for- this will inform your styling. Try looking for apps that you think are elegant and attractive, and boil down what they do and what you like about them.
