ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calcy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calcy has 43 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Calcy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Calculator Classic Basic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calcy ships an update every 2 months, Calculator Classic Basic every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
