better calculator se sommo percentuale da la somma ma non dice quanto è la percentuale
Le versioni precedenti erano perfette

Keine Eingabe über Tastatur möglich?

Ich kann es kaum glauben, aber auf meinem Mac war zumindest keine Eingabe über die Tastatur möglich. Nur Mausklick auf die virtuellen Tasten.

Great for high precision

The comma is the decimal point. This is a great calculator for special purposes involving high precision up to one million digits. A little more documentation would be helpful to learn how to use it, however, with a little exploration, it is intuitive enough to learn how to use.

Great App! Handles Extremely Big and Small Numbers.

I really like this app. I’m a diehard HP calculator fan but NOTHING out there comes close to this high degree of precision. Decent range of functions too.

Thank you for making this available! Nice work!

Some thoughts:

1) Might you consider adding Knuth (up arrow) functions?

2) Would adding a floating point mode be a possibility? It isn’t always easy to tell if those large integers fall within the specified number of digits of precision.

3) Displaying large results in the app itself, in addition to the clipboard paste feature, would be great. Font size could be adjustable for this. A number of text editors I’ve tried choke on pasting 10^6 digits!

Again, thanks for your efforts!

Thanks for your friendly review. I was thinking about reverse polish notation, but that might confuse other users. In a first step, version 2.2 now has copy&paste in the high precision mode. Parentheses would also be nice, they are on my todo list.

No decimal point!

You've got to be kidding me--there's no way to get a decimal point, the button is a comma!

Works but no keyboard support

Can't use the keyboard to type in numbers, which is very inconvenient. Also, can't copy-paste. All that makes this calculator limited to very basic use-cases. Probably more suitable to touch screen users.

Why the recurring nines ?

This is a delightful little calculator, and excellent for ‘showing off’ … BUT … whilst 1/8 displays the correct answer 1/80 does not.

Can you please explain, and preferably correct, this anomaly ?

Thanks

Unglaubliche Genauigkeit

Man berechne mal e^(pi*sqrt(163)).

Für die Praxis bräuchte man allerdings noch ein paar Speicher für Zwischenergebnisse.

Ob hier wirklich 100000 Stellen von pi durch 4 atan(1) rauskommen. Ich kann es mir kaum vorstellen.

Parentheses?!

It has some unique functions but how do you enter a big expression without parentheses? Not even old MR for reverse polish? :-/

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. In a first step, version 2.2 now has copy&paste in the high precision mode. Parenthesis are indeed on my todo list.

Some Suggestions

Right now it is little more than a four-function calculator. Thankfully there is also a copy function that allows export of results. But there is no paste function (to allow imports). That would be an easy addition. Memory and/or parentheses functions are also easy additions that would help with complex calculations. And perhaps a pi button? And a factorial button? The latter would be useful for implementing Maclaurin series.

Try rotating your phone :) In a first step, version 2.2 now has copy&paste in the high precision mode. Parentheses would also be nice, they are on my todo list.

Used to love it - does not work in ios 9.3.5

I used to love the app. Used it in astrophysics calculations which required high precision to 50+ whole digits. But, with the earliest of the last two updates, the app quit working on my iPad2, ios 9.3.5. The new interface looks terrific, but the display area remains black. No entries or results appear - just a black area. The developer link and support link for this app are broken. I did try the https address given but after 20 minutes of searching there, I could find no way to report a bug or contact the developer. It is not a website for anyone without a degree in computer science. If the app ever works again for 9.3.5 then I'll give it another 5 stars.

Sorry for the bug of the black display screen. I can’t reproduce that on my devices. Could you send a screenshot to joachim@joachimneumann.com? The developer links were indeed broken. I have fixed that and it will come with the next release.

Perfetta

È un'ottima calcolatrice se si vogliono vedere tante cifre decimali poiché ne mostra fino a 100000. 5 stelle 😁
