Sounds like you're talking about the latter two. OddsQuizzer is a set of quizzes on various important situations. OddsTeacher has fewer scenarios; its goal is to teach a general method for estimating equity in your head, e.g. by counting outs and counter-outs, using the Rule of 4&2, etc.
But without you being specific on which apps, I'm just guessing on the reply here.

Thanks.
I'm shocked that you're shocked : ), because having a powerful ranges equity calc on your iPhone/Android is pretty useful, so the iPhone version of PokerCruncher was actually the first app I built/shipped, about 10 years ago now. Live game poker players spend a lot of time away from their home/laptop/desktop so having an equity calc on your phone is very useful e.g. to check situations on breaks or between tourney stages or when getting food etc. Or when riding a bus, standing in a long line, endless places; an iPhone version was by far my first goal at the start of these apps.
The smallness of the iPhone screen does require a lot of screens and subscreens, but I think the UI works pretty efficiently.

Where does it say this?
I don't think it says this. I just did a search on the app's description text and the word "range" has 0 occurrences.

I don't believe these two apps are an either/or, one or the other, decision. Having both of them might make sense.

By "solver" I take it you mean an EV solver or range solver, or maybe an ICM situation solver? But in any case, I have no plans right now for this on Mac's. So on Mac's it'll be just the Mac-Expert version of PokerCruncher per current plans.
Thanks for being a user of the Mac-Expert PokerCruncher version, and for checking out the iOS apps. -RJ
