I’ve been looking for a good calculator that evaluates expressions as they are shown. For example, with the otherwise-amazing PCalc, if you want to compute “sin(45)” (in deg mode) you type “45” then “sin”. In GraphingCalculatorPlusAI, it is how it *should* be! You write the expression you want and it calculates that!!!
However, it is a graphing calculator to a fault. It doesn’t take advantage of the fact that it is an app and maintains the graphing calculator interface. Menus are hard to find, typing (while thankfully on a real keyboard) is one character at a time, and navigation is as clunky as on the real thing. Also, once I hit “Y=“ I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get out.
And if I wanted to program in it, I’d probably find some different apps to do it better. Same for plotting (where I’d use Pythonista to do it there).
So, overall, it serves its purpose...almost too well. But if you’re looking for as-close-as-possible to the bona fide graphing calculator, this is it! Or if you’re just like me and want a traditional calculator expression evaluation.
