Bayesian Update Calculator for Android
Add some example, like other said
Would be perfect if it had just a few examples or explanations. Not a whole Wikipedia entry, just one screen full of help. I truly like the app.
If you don't work with Bayes already this will not make sense. If it had a little explanation and an example it might go viral. The engine has been built, though. Thank you!

Bayesian probabilities are important in the everyday world. While the calculations behind this app are mathematically simple, they are difficult in practice for the vast majority of educated Android users. This app fills a real need. Two suggestions: I encourage the author to provide at least 2 or 3 examples of real world applications. Make the letters and symbols come alive! We often face situations where we have the inputs and need the updated probability. As Kahneman points out in his bestseller "Thinking, Fast and Slow", our intuition is typically way off in estimating the updated probabilities. THIS COULD BE A REALLY USEFUL APP, if people understood it. Second, this app allows for probabilities greater than 100%, which is absurd and should be easy to fix. I applaud the author's efforts and hope this app goes viral!
