### 4/5 — хороший, но...

*2022-10-28*

но почему же 100 10% =>
= 100   0,1
= 100,1 ?

Привык даже в простом настольком совсем к другим результатам.

Внешне отлиная идея - показывать расчеты.
Надеюсь поправят на => 100 (100*10%)

### 5/5 — Neat little app

*2021-03-03*

A very well thoughtout and impressive app all wrapped up in a neat and unobtrusive interface.  Simple to use but with lots of usefull features.  The Text Service or "Command =" shortcut is a particular gem.  I look forward to seeing more from this developer.

### 5/5 — Отличный калькулятор

*2021-02-27*

Поддерживает скобки, степени, корни. Для школьников вообще чума — показывает в каком порядке проводить вычисления. 

У меня только две хотелки к нему:
— история рассчетов 
— чтобы этот калькулятор можно было  поставить в Notification Center

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to write a 5 star review :-)

I don't know any Russian unfortunately but I tried to use Google Translate to understand. A history function is a good idea and I will consider it for the next version.

The Notification Center comment did not translate. Are you able to explain further?

### 5/5 — Nice
