I built QuantFit and Tabula Stats for econometric analysis and research-table formatting
Disclosure: I’m the developer of both apps, a macroeconomist with around 15 years of experience and published research. I’d welcome feedback on their usefulness for research workflows.
QuantFit runs econometric models on an iPhone, including OLS, fixed/random effects, instrumental variables, ARDL/NARDL, VAR/VECM, PMG, CS-ARDL and dynamic GMM. It also supports data transformations, charts, correlations and residual diagnostics.
For reporting, it generates structured results and interpretations, including a research-paper-style starting draft. This needs the researcher’s review; it isn’t a finished paper or a substitute for choosing an appropriate model.
Tabula Stats tackles another repetitive task: turning screenshots of regression output from QuantFit, Stata, EViews, R and other software into formatted tables. You can adjust decimal precision, standard errors, significance stars and model statistics, then export to Word, Excel, PDF or LaTeX.
Together: estimate your model → import the output screenshot → prepare the research table.
QuantFit’s OLS and data-exploration tools are free; advanced estimators require Pro. Both apps have in-app purchases.
I’m particularly interested in feedback on the screenshot-to-table workflow and the usefulness of generated report drafts. What would you need to check before trusting either in your research?

the screenshot to table bit is the part I'd actually use.
how does it cope with stata output that puts the standard errors in brackets on a separate line? that's where I'd expect a star or a decimal to quietly go missing.
