  • Cleanest and most capable

    This app is definitely the cleanest looking advanced calculator app I’ve been able to find on the app store, after looking over a huge number of them. It’s also very powerful, featuring plotting, solving and conversion, all in a clean and uncluttered way. This is a calculator app with a lot of attention to detail. The dev is responsive to feature requests too!

    Thank you 🤩
  • Recent Update Slows Calculations

    I believe ever since the currency update, this calculator is losing its value to me. I’ll type in a simple 16,000/12 and the display shows that it’s “thinking…” and then loads for longer after that. Division is not complex, so I don’t understand what the issue is.

    I’m hoping this can be worked out because I use this calculator app for everything even through my undergraduate studies. If this continues, it will severely hinder my calculations and I’ll need to find another app.

    Sorry to hear you’re having issues. This sounds like a bug. If you go to into the menu, Display, then disable Live Result, you can manually submit the equations, and that’ll probably work around the issue you’re having. I’d love to try and do a proper fix - if you reach out to me using the ‘contact developer’ button in the menu, I can investigate further
  • No real instruction manual

    This could be a good app but you are left guessing how to use some of it’s capabilities. The reference section incomplete. You actually need to develop a user’s manual and then I could potentially give you five stars.

    Reach out to me and let me know what parts you got stuck on. It’s just me working on this app, so the only way I can get better is with feedback ☺️
  • Text is too small and light on iPad

    Wish I could adjust font size to be bolder and larger on ipad..

    Needs to be more functional in low light and outside.

    Developer Response

    I’d love to hear more about what you need. If you expand the bottom panel on the right hand side, and ‘email developer’, let me know a bit about your use-case and I’ll see if I can come up with something 😊
  • Excellent calculator for productivity

    This is a really beautifully designed scientific calculator, even for basic maths. If I had this 10 years ago I would’ve aced statistics class

    Glad you're enjoying the app, and thank you for taking the time to review - it really helps out! 😄
  • This is *the* calculator.

    Coming from android to iOS, there was exactly one app that I missed dearly: algeo calculator. This absolutely replaced algeo (and is better in many ways), and it deserves to be noticed. From what I can see, the developer is highly active and responsive, and moreover he pledged to not require a subscription plan. There is no other choice: I’ve tried dozens of calculator apps in iOS and they all come up short, between ugly expression formatting, forests of parentheses to denote simple expressions, or lack of specialized functionality like linear algebra or complex arithmetic.

    To the dev: you deserve my money, but you also deserve my gratitude. Calculators are so central to so many professions, and having an excellent calculator app available is irreplaceable.

    If you’re wondering why apple doesn’t have a default iPad calculator app, it’s because they must be waiting to acquire this one.

    Thanks for this review ❤️ it means a lot to hear people are enjoying the app
  • Amazing!

    So far the best calculator I've used. Really simple but allows for complex calculation and lots of flexibility. Intuitive to use and it looks good. I like the reference area. And the settings are fantastic!

  • Quality Calculator App

    A vast improvement over the baseline apple calculator, especially on iPad. The interface is understandable and pleasant, and I can imput complex multi-operation calculations without worrying if I messed up order of operations, like on the apple standard calc.

    My only two complaints are 1) The unit converter is time consuming to change units, especially when it's often the same few conversions. It would be nice to have a 'Favorites' menu to save conversions. 2) It'd be useful to have a widget of the app so I can access it without constantly opening the app.

    Regardless of the two things, this is still the best calculator app I have used.

    Thanks for the review! It really helps out. For quick access, head on over to settings and enable ‘always available’. Then use ctrl + option + / to open the app. I’ll take a look at speeding unit conversion up. If you have any more ideas, you can always email me through the link in the app!
  • An Excellent Useable Solution for Many

    First and foremost, I’d like to thank you for developing the best iOS calculator for scientists and engineers. It is simply a joy to use on the iPad, and the features are invaluable. I’m a professor of Physical Chemistry, and the “constants” feature is a huge time saver. I love that recent constants are shown on top for easier access. Also, having the ability to build equations with fillable numbers makes this a great pedagogical tool and a quick way to solve problems using the same equation. I will be encouraging my students to consider this app seriously, and after my class demo today I’m sure they’ll be impressed. I have two suggestions. Saved equations and other settings (e.g. list of common constants) do not carry over to other iOS devices. This syncing is important especially if you’ve created a large number of equations. Secondly, it would be great if there’s an easy way to solve for parameter in an equation. For example, hc/L = 2E-4, where h = Planck’s constant, c = speed of light. Solving for L (wavelength). This is a simple example and I tried using solver mode but doesn’t work. Problems like this don’t need initial guesses. Maple on a PC and Mac does this flawlessly, but their iOS calculator lacks most of the features in TechniCalc. Again, thank you for providing a real useable solution to many people!

    Thanks for the five star review - it really helps out! I’ll look into why the solver doesn’t work for that equation. iCloud storage is a good idea. I’ll see what I can do!
  • Best calc ever!

    This app has intuitive beautiful UI, with well thought out UX flows
    I use this everyday on my iPad for college and it is worth every dollar.
    Thank you
