The “ANS” is annoying… Just put the number amount. I am looking elsewhere. ### 4/5 — Recently crashing on Mac *2025-04-13, version 2.3.1* I have used this calculator for years on all devices but starting last week the app disappears from my dock within minutes of opening. I use it constantly throughout the day, so having to reopen it every few minutes is quite annoying. I have the most recent Mac iOS update and hope there is a fix for this soon. ### 3/5 — Why? *2025-04-03, version 2.3.1* Why does your calculator give a different answer than every other calculator I use or that I type out on a ai program? ### 5/5 — Best calculator ever!!!😀👍👍🏻 *2025-03-17, version 2.3.1* This calculator is the best one I can think about and it is all free and all the things I want!!!,!,!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — The Best Basic Scientific Calc *2025-03-12, version 2.3.1* No ads, no in-app purchases, absolutely no annoyances here. Just a scientific calculator. ### 5/5 — Free, no adds, no sniffing *2025-02-24, version 2.3.1* For years I am mad at Apple not having a basic calculator on Ipad as a native App. And I was sick of all those other scam Apps trying to charge you for a simple calculator, placing adds all over the place and the like. Glad I found this one, which was not easy in the App store jungle. Hope this App gets more spread and other scam developers will have to look for a new job. Thank you! ### 5/5 — good *2025-02-16, version 2.3.1* design smooth ### 5/5 — Very Good *2025-01-11, version 2.3.1* I am happy to donate, but please never make this a paid app. Absolutely phenomenal takes all the positives from Apple’s own app with none of the downsides! ### 2/5 — Could be more useful *2024-12-21, version 2.3.1* I like the fact that I can size the display to suit my needs but there are a few problems I cannot get the display to change from Scientific to Standard using the Portrait Calculator Layout. The number of decimal places cannot be set. The history display covers the keys making it impossible to use the tape and calculator at the same time. ### 5/5 — Nice and Big *2024-12-03, version 2.3.1* Since the Sequoia update, the stock Apple calculator has become unbelievably small. I downloaded this because it showed up under my search for Mac calculators, I downloaded it. After seconds, I’ve already replaced my Apple calculator. I would pay for this. It’s obvious after using that this was made for an iPad though. I have a request for improvement. I personally don’t need any of the scientific options. It would be nice to be able to hide these. I would do fine with a simple 10-key. I would like the history to be able to show in the sidebar. Whether this is within the same frame or pops out from the side doesn’t matter. I don’t like the pop over window. I need to see history so that I can retype it sometimes. This no possible with the pop over window. There is apparently a vertical option, however, I’m guessing that only works on an iPad and doesn’t have the option on the Mac. ### 5/5 — Must have after iOS 18 *2024-11-23, version 2.3.1* After the latest update , many features were removed And this app has got them all and free and great UI ### 5/5 — THE best! *2024-11-04, version 2.3.1* Clean, intuitive UI and useful functions to do pretty much anything required for everyday needs. Love how certain functions are defined as you enter the calculation and the quick mode toggles, to express results in different forms. Thank you, Wern, for this excellent app! ### 5/5 — Free no ads *2024-10-25, version 2.3.1* Best calculator alt for ppl with iPads ### 5/5 — Best calculator app there is! *2024-10-20, version 2.3.1* Best calculator app there is. ### 5/5 — Funciona perfectamente! *2024-10-13, version 2.3.1* Modifico: 18.01.2024. Quito 1 estrella por... Esta bien pero hay algunas cosas para corregir. Por ejemplo: Usando el teclado apple con las teclas numericas la tecla "Reset" no funciona. Otra cosa: Si quieres restar los % no funciona, por ejemplo: 20-10%=19,9 ES INCORRECTO. A ver si lo pueden arreglar. Gracias. Funciona perfectamente sin ninguna queja. A ver si en el futuro pueden añadir el idioma español. Tambien para mejorar el aspecto seria añadir la opcion de modificar el color del fondo. SIN PUBLICIDAD. La recomiendo! Gracias!!! Modificado: 13.10.2024 Ya esta todo corregido. Muchas gracias. Pongo 5 estrellas! ### 5/5 — What the native app should look like in iOS 15 *2024-10-12, version 2.3.1* Perfect app to replace the native app, without ads! A nice clear visual interface and calculations history. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent alternative to MacOS calculator for repeating operations *2024-10-11, version 2.3.1* This is a beautiful calculator that is generously developed and provided at no cost and without ads — a rarity in the world today! Edit: the developer provides the following directions on how to use the repeating operations feature. You can perform repeated operations by taking advantage of the answer keyword ("ans"). This can be clicked with your mouse or be typed with your keyboard. For instance, if you want to begin with 6, and then repeatedly multiply by 2, you can press the following buttons in order: - press 6, - press = (calculator outputs 6), - press Ans*, - press ×, - press 2, - press = repeatedly. *optional; the app automatically inserts the "ans" keyword if you press a math operator button that requires a leading input value. If you're typing on your keyboard, you can do the same thing. That is: - type "6", - press return/=, - type "ans*2", - repeatedly press return/=. Notice that this mechanism allows you to do the same for complex expressions, e.g., it is possible to perform (5-ans)^2 repeatedly. ### 5/5 — It’s really an amazing app *2024-10-08, version 2.3.1* Thanks to whoever created this, for all the years without an official calculator app, this was the greatest calculator I’ve ever had. Fast, simple, free, reliable. Simply amazing ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recently crashing on Mac *2025-08-29, version 2.3.1* I have used this calculator for years on all devices but starting last week the app disappears from my dock within minutes of opening. I use it constantly throughout the day, so having to reopen it every few minutes is quite annoying. I have the most recent Mac iOS update and hope there is a fix for this soon. *** Corrupt. Deleted. Updated Aug 29, 2025. *** ### 1/5 — x ÷ a(b+c) ≠ (x÷a)×(b+c) *2025-03-30, version 2.3.1* This app disobeys algebraic order of operations by stripping coefficients and treating them as equivalent to lower precedence multiplication rather than as higher precedence parentheses. ### 1/5 — Doesn't calculate correctly! *2024-08-13, version 2.2.7* What a bummer, I was hyped for this calculator as the OS native one lacks on pretty much everything. Then I added my first calculation: 20-10%... and the result is: 19.9... WTF?! I mean if it can't calculate the most basic, I'm not going to trust in more complex calculations either. haha. Deleted. ### 1/5 — How do you even work this??? *2023-05-02, version 2.2.4* All I want to do is find the square root of a number, and all I get for an answer is "syntax error"!! WTH is that supposed to mean??? Why can't this work SIMPLE like EVERY OTHER calculator??!!! ### 1/5 — Wrong *2023-03-22, version 2.2.4* 229-55%=228.45 ????? Would Not recommend this app ### 1/5 — Wrong answer *2023-03-21, version 2.2.4* When i try to do 100-5% it shows 99.95 why ? ### 1/5 — Жахливий калькулятор *2022-10-17, version 2.1.2* Неправильно рахує числа! ### 1/5 — Dictation does not work *2022-04-27, version 2.1.1* Tried numerous times to dictate, but to no success. I have cecked and edited settings in the attempt to make it work, but still nothing ### 1/5 — Won’t open after update *2022-03-17, version 2.1* Following the recent update this no longer opens on my iPad. Until now it was a great app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t simplify *2019-11-08, version 1.0* It doesn’t simplify to the very end If you write 23 divided by 25 it just calculates the answer as 23/25 but I want it in decimal but it doesn’t simplify to the very end. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good calculator *2026-07-20, version 2.3.1* Its a good and easy to use ### 5/5 — The Best. *2026-06-10, version 2.3.1* This app is THE best calculator on the App Store. No ads, great UX, tons of features, what else could you ask for? Thank you very much for maintaining this great app. ### 5/5 — 100% Better than Apple Calculator! *2026-01-25, version 2.3.1* This is by far the better calculator for Mac OS and iPhone. The native app is rubbish no sizing options. I have literally just downloaded this and I am writing a review straight away. To the DEV this is brilliant. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Best iOS calculator *2026-01-05, version 2.3.1* Basically this should be the default calculator of iOS. It has history, scientific calculator functions and everything you need from a phone calculator. Plus it looks like the stock app. ### 5/5 — Amazing, fast and ad-free *2025-10-13, version 2.3.1* It took me a long time to find this app, but I'm glad I installed it. It is a super small file but does everything I need in a calculator app. It is super fast, ad-free … what more could you want? 5 star! ### 5/5 — The Best calculator app!!! *2025-10-10, version 2.3.1* Hey Wern! This is sage!!! i haven't made a review yet, but the app is THE BEST CALCULATOR APP EVER!!!!!! 10 out of 10 wern!!! keep up the good work!!!

The Best! *2025-06-25, version 2.3.1* I was looking for a calculator for my iPad. I found this calculator and liked it so well that it is now my only calculator on both my iPad and iPhone. My thanks to the developer for a great calculator that looks nice and is ad free. Job well done! ### 5/5 — BEST CALCULATOR APP *2025-04-29, version 2.3.1* I recommend this app because this is the only calculator app that I can find that’s free, no adds, and not a scam! I love this app, and I think apple should use this as the missing calculator app for the IPad. I totally recommend. The only thing is that it is hard to find on the App Store, and I searched for hours, just for a calculator that was free and no adds --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
