Calculator for iPad! Reviews

by AzureMedia

For years, this this app app proved extremely useful, with the free version offered in exchange for having to view an occasional ad. Regrettably, some idiot(s) behind Calculator have now decided to make that advertising pervasive, all-encompassing and inescapable — to the point where ad banners now cover the bottom portion of the this app, including the zero, thus rendering it useless. The free version has thus itself become nothing more than an ad for the paid upgrade — thereby ensuring that this user, at least, will never make the leap.

I installed Calculator for specific reason, because the developer said “No ads”, and it has not shown any ads for the whole time i was using it. But this morning, ad start showing, even though i have not updates it since the initial installation.

I understand nothing is free, and the developer has the option (read, right) to include ads to get financial support, but that should be made very clear on Calculator page!!!

This is evidently a demo version. That is all well and good, but a more honest and less annoying way of accomplishing this is by calling it as such, and not providing the entire paid version's feature set in the UI, while locking each individual feature. For example if I tap on the option to remove leather stitches, it works, but if I tap on the option to change the colour, I get a nag screen. There is no visual indication as to what is a paid feature and what is not. It is a treasure hunt to find which buttons work out of which do not. If for any other reason at all, say crashes or other bugs, this were the case, we would rightly call this this app garbage. So that is what I am doing, it is even worse than bugs, because it is deliberate.

The effect an ad banner in an app has on a user is directly proportional to the user's opinions of Calculator itself. In this case, it left a really sour taste in my mouth. The "DocuSign" banner (which is the only one I've ever seen in Calculator) blinks so rapidly I'd be surprised if it didn't induce seizures in some users. Picture a strobe light at a party; Now multiply it by a factor of 5 in speed, and that's how fast this banner ad blinks across almost the entire bottom row of Calculator , which coincidentally also overlaps some of the functional components of Calculator to promote accidental taps on the ad banner, presumably to generate more revenue. Calculator is just click bait. I can't recommend it. However, in fairness, I give it 2 stars for adequate and reliable functionality.

The first issue with this “scientific” this app is the same as with most calculators in Calculator Store claiming to be “scientific” and that’s it doesn’t include basic functions needed for statistics, such as Euler’s Constant, sigma notation, etc. This this app is NOT a TI-36 substitute. I’m not saying they said it is, but calling it a “scientific” this app is a stretch.

Secondly, Calculator seems to intentionally try to circumvent the Apple requirement to state that in-app purchases are required for full or ad-free functionality. I would say, even, it’s basically nagware. That’s not horrible in itself but App Store requires more transparency around that.

I’m not going to waste money on this just because if I can’t access notes from both views that stupid. This has plenty of dead space in Calculator for the notes to pop up at the bottom to accessed on the portrait view just as the landscape view. I don’t even care what other things it can do. I have a business and I could use this for depositing just to track my deposits that I don’t log prior to going but if I’m restricted and have to pay for something and it’s that simple to add a slide bar. Your silly for not adding it. Paid or free it should be available. It’s also small in size. Compared to many. You are on an iPad use the space. Especially if your a paid app. There’s free ones that are full and colorful and just as nice. Sorry. You have a good base. Become outstanding.

Calculator is really handy, especially the free this app widget. The only thing that is bad about Calculator is that you need to upgrade to the premium version in order to get some of the features. You can unlock the features for a day by watching a video, which is great in case you need to use one of the features a few times, but kind of annoying if you constantly need the features. Also, they are charging too much for being able to change the background and export notes. You don’t really need to change the background of Calculator and you can use the free Apple Notes app if you need to export notes.

Overall it is a decent app for simple computing tasks. I would not recommend this for an iPhone that has the Apple this app app available, but for an iPad device it is great until Apple makes a this app app for iPad.

I love that you can see the string of calculation appear below the window so you can see what you just did - comes in very handy. I do wish the size of the number keys can be a little bigger and more differentiated in color from the rest of the keys

I absolutely love this this app and have been using it for a really long time, but now it started showing ads and it’s incredibly annoying. Could you please give us the option to remove the ads?

by JimDoggy

I ablusltly love Calculator! It’s easy, and has no adds like others I have tried! It’s east, but smart, it has two different settings for advanced and simple. You can take notes, and look at your cauculator history! I love because i use it for school.

At least considering it's a free app. Ads are not too intrusive, the numbers/buttons are large and easy to read, and basically it gets the job done. It is a bit surprising that iPads apparently don't already have a this app function already built in - go figure.

by Notaflatterer

Calculator does what it should. No distracting graphics and a ticker-tape like feature that shows a running account of the last few entries (so you don't lose everything if you forget where you were). Giving my non-virtual this app away.

by KimoBell

I enjoy Calculator over others cause it has functions I’m familiar with which makes it easier to use. That’s not to say the others I’ve tried were inconvenient, it just takes me longer to find my way around

Somebody should find the designer of this this app and put her in charge of basic security for our 40 (and counting) Russian hacked agencies.

This designer knows how the human mind works. I never seem to search for a keypad or a function. My fingers seem to find them by instinct. Then there is that wonderful scratch pad log which I have grown dependent on.

I run a fairly complex portfolio with this this app, stuff I use to do with spread sheets.

Honestly, alert the CIA. The designer of this gem knows something easing the human mind away from bumbling and mistakes. This thing has made my days much easier.

This is the 4th this app App I've downloaded to try. Giving each one I've downloaded, all FREE versions, at least a month of use to find the good and bad to them all. I'm excited to say my search is over, I finally found the this app I was starting to think didn't exist. You can't go wrong with this one!!!

by Becky In Japan

. . . is the fact that it shows you on the screen all the numbers you’ve entered in that particular calculation so you can see exactly where you are in any calculation. Sounds like gibberish, but once you’ve tried it, you’ll appreciate it as much as I do. I’ve installed Calculator on all my devices and couldn’t be happier! Get it!

by Ads Aren't Your Friend

This this app is so much better than the standard this app I had previously downloaded for Ipad. The previous this app increased ad use to the point that I had to close two content obscuring ads before each use. This this app has used NO content obscuring ads so far, and works accurately and quickly.

Easiest user interface, both practically and visually, but the most recent update has a glitch. When the phone tilts to landscape, then back to portrait, orientation, the graphics become crowded.

Standard portrait only shows basic this app, while landscape shows scientific this app. When moving back into portrait the scientific this app follows you and crowds the screen.

by NoVATraveler

This is the best straightforward this app app for iPad & iPhone. I’ve tried several others over the years, but this is the one I use daily. I have the paid version on my iPhone & iPad, and love them both! Easy to read & use. Additionally, it has a great feature that allows you to look back at many previous calculations. Definitely a keeper!

by TmmyMarlow

Calculator is simple & straightforward i.e. User friendly but also has all the necessary functions to make it an extremely valuable, efficient & effective this app tool.
Landscape mode - basic function this app with an on-screen input log on the left side of my the screen. Rotate to Portrait mode - scientific function this app.
Highly recommend for users of all ages & abilities.

The this app is very good and the notes are also quiet useful to me as a student but, I found it very inconvenient to have all my notes deleted instead of having an eraser. Having an eraser would be very useful for those of us that have a stylus and make a small mistake in our writing.

by Strbfields4ever

Okay, I have downloaded maybe 7 or 8 calculators, but this is the only review. I love this one. It is in landscape format! My iPad and I are always in landscape. I love the light, simple, clean lines. That says Apple to me. I do not want to deal with black buttons or a dark this app that would be hard for me to see.

by Birds&sky

I downloaded a couple of calculators and just realized that this one you are able to backspace incase you press the wrong number and you don't have to start all over. I'm happy I found this little this app.

by AmarilloLesa

Really enjoy this one, it almost seems intuitive. I especially like it when figuring my checkbook, it shows your calculations for several lines so you can double check your work.

by Va.Moore

I am so grateful for this fabulous app! I was an English Major in College and taught 12th grade for many years. Math did not agree with me and it is only good fortune that I made it through Algebra 11. I could not function with out Calculator on my IPad and my phone. Thank you.
