Perfect
I very rarely leave a written review but this Calculator has single handendly improved the quality of my life out of any app on my phone. It is SO useful to math out stuff on the go as well as having a graphing calculator built in. Thank you so much for making this <3okonkwolooser

Factorial?
Can it do factorials?Cx238
Weird
Why is everything shoved on either side of the screen? And where is the clear all button? And why does it display the calculation changing as you type. Weird…Vseus

1. So that you can reach the buttons on a large iPad. 2. Press the largest button that looks like a Return-key. 3. That’s how expressions work. Why didn’t the app get 5 stars? Weird.Why isn’t there an equal sign?

Subscribe for a..... simple graph calculator?
Pro:
App is ok,
so I will give credit where credit is due. I use it maybe... once a month when a basic calculation requires more than talking to siri. It is better than the native ios calculator. I am too lazy to find another app to quench my software payment grievances related to this app. Yes, this review is mainly a rant about the subscription service.
But before that: The instant graphing is nice. The are other alternatives like Desmos and Quick Graph + that have more more functionality and graphing ability but the buttons are smaller lol, so I guess in reality that is the selling point here.
The Rant:
I just wanted to let the developer know that I do appreciate the vibe of the app but I perceive the subscription service with a sense of disgust. I understand that subscriptions make predicting your income easier but on the flip side it makes it more difficult for the customer who now has to keep track of the subscription and might forget since it is just a calculator (which is probably the real intended purpose).
I highly doubt the upkeep argument. This is a basic calculator with some graphing ability, not a new content factory like media, netflix. The customer might also have their history erased if they don’t pay. Nice
Yeah, and it is true I have not subscribed to the calculator so some of this is speculation and might not be 100% a c c u r a t e... but the important part where I am trying to help here is that this is my perception of the app, which in reality, is more important than the truth because I am the potential customer.
You can take this with a grain of salt. I imagine you are also pretty lazy like me and probably just like “Awwwww, cute, sorry but I am too lazy to even think about this anymore” Honestly, I enjoyed reviewing this because it is just so insane to me.
The real thing that probably motivated my relatively low rating is just my hate for subscription payment models in general. Moleskin apps immediately come to mind... But even cars now, BMW is making people subscribe for heated seats...
So yeah please, money is nice, I would pay if it was one time but this just ruins the vibe
just say it out-loud to your friends:
“I subscribe to a calculator”
You wouldn’t pay for this either because you would be embarrassedShow lessT.G.C.
Best Simple Calculator Ever
This is what Apple should have done to begin with. Really great calculator, simple, but very effective. Could use a history feature, but honestly it’s still the best. Thank you for keeping it free.nosuffix

Thank you so much for your kind words! There is a history feature, but it currently does require the paid for Pro subscription.The most intuitive and well-rounded calculator app for both iOS and iPadOS.
Kalkyl is a one of a kind app. All of Apple’s products revolve around one font: San Francisco. I have tried other calculator apps, but their ugly fonts just don’t fit in. I have tried a different calculator app for my iPad, but it had ads. Kalkyl has no ads, and it looks very nice when paired with other Apple apps. The app has all of the features of the regular Apple calculator, and you can opt to pay $4.99 USD yearly to get a pro version, which comes with a choice of two app icons, currency conversion, and more. nordic io, you did a wonderful job. I have nothing negative to say about your wonderful app. The inclusion of graphs and the iPad keyboard-esque flick of a key to get more options makes it truly, the best calculator app for iOS and iPadOS. Something that you can do to really make this the best app would to give it Apple Watch support. I know it would take a long time to make it with Xcode, but all of the Apple Watch users out there would really enjoy it. You guys did a wonderful job.Show lessJackHinkle

Almost perfect!
This app would be perfect if it worked with split view on iPad. Let me clarify, technically works, but when you try to use it the whole keyboard comes up so it takes up 75% of the screen, defeating the purpose. Besides that, its great!ApppRatingNickname

There are technical hurdles on iOS that I can’t really overcome there, but I’m working on a workaround. In the next update Kalkyl will support the Floating Keyboard mode introduced in iOS 13 (with some restrictions).
