The EduCalc Classic app, rewritten from the ground up: -- All screens have portrait and landscape -- Polynomial solver up to 10th degree -- Wide range of settings for font sizes and graph line widths -- Updates to this version will be more frequent, going forward -- Matrix calculator more intuitive and is integrated with main calculator screen -- Table has an "ask" mode where you enter input values and it gives you the outputs. -- Please report bugs to the email address inside the app Features: 1) Scientific Calculator. A lot of thought has gone into the design of the keyboard, which gives you everything you need while keeping the keys as large as possible. Available functions include the following: • the usual arithmetic functions and exponentiation. • square root, cube root, nth root, natural log, log base 10, log of arbitrary base, absolute value, factorial, permutations (nPr), combinations (nCr), modulus, random integer, bell curve, cumulative normal distribution. • Define and name your own constants • Summations • Complex numbers! • Sig figs (enable under settings) • Programmable keys (enable under settings) 2) Graphing. Capabilities: • Graph up to nine equations at once. • Graphs are labeled. • You can drag the graph or pinch to zoom in or out. • Calculator can find roots and intersections. • Can graph in polar coordinates. • Can graph parametric equations. • Can graph parametric equations. • Can graph implicit functions, such as x^2+y^2-4=0. Most calculator apps can't do this! 3) Vector and Matrix calculator. Vector dot and cross products. Multiply and add matrices. Determinant, transpose, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors. 4) It can make a table of the values of any function you care to enter. You can choose the starting x value of the table, as well as how much x increases for each successive row. 5) Triangle solver. Enter three sides, two sides and an angle, or two angles and a side, and the solver calculates the rest. 6) Polynomial solvers. Find the roots of a polynomial, up to 10th degree. 7) System of linear equations solver. 8) The reference hits the high points of the following subjects: algebra, calculus, geometry, trigonometry, vectors, vector calculus, and classical mechanics. So if you need a reminder of a trig identity . . . or the quadratic formula . . . or the chain rule from calculus . . . and so on, it's right there for you. 9) A unit converter. Your data are in meters, and you need an answer in feet? No problem! With a tap, you can enter the result of your conversion into the calculator. Currently converts different units of the following: acceleration, angle, area, density, distance, energy, force, mass, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, and volume. Great for physics problem sets! You can also define your own units. 10) Constants for scientific calculations -- speed of light, strength of gravity at Earth's surface, etc. etc. etc. Tapping on a constant will insert it into your calculation -- i.e, you don't have to key in the value. Again, great for physics problem sets! 11) Statistics mode, including options for scatter plots and for regression lines. 12) Works on both iPhone and iPad. 13) Derivatives! (Answer simplification is limited.) I'd love to learn about your comments or suggestions. You can write me at the email address on the settings screen of the app. Thanks!

This is not a standard scientific calculator, it is optimized to evaluate Bode plots and Nyquist diagrams. This calculator is also fully compatible with the complex domain and standard graphs in time domain (linear). Writing a calculation produces the numeric result, as any calculator, while adding the variable t produces a plot in time domain. Inserting f, omega or s instead, produces the Bode Plot, then it is possible to switch to the Nyquist diagram. Functionalities: - Nice looking interface, intuitive, immediate and able to not only replace, but to enrich hardware calculators. - Elegant and modern themes and colors to choose from, all included in the first purchase. - A little magic feature: in scientific notation, swipe over the result to move the decimal dot and see the ten power change :) - All scientific function (sin, cos, tan, ..., log, ln, exp, ..., atan2). - Calculation structured in 2D, with fractions, powers, roots, brackets and so on, with very easy to nest operations, no limits! - Tap on the calculation to place the cursor and write. - Undo/Redo buttons - A catalog with 40 physics fundamentals constants, with name and unit of measure, ready to be inserted. - Possibility to store values. - Chronology. - Sliders: yes, you can insert many parameters and change them swiping on a slider to see the effect in real time. - Spaces: access to up to 4 spaces on which you can edit and keep calculations, useful also to superpose different plots. - Joystick mode: swipe over the buttons to move the cursor (still in beta). - Bode Plots: inserting a variable, s, omega or f, produces the Bode Plot, toggling on the button it switches to the Nyquist diagram. - Linear Plots: inserting the t variable, produces a plot in a linear domain. - Complex numbers: the app automatically uses complex numbers when needed, no need to set the complex mode. - Plots also support for complex values. - Integrals and derivatives (in the future also limits). - Export plot and calculation as image/PDF, copy result as text

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bode Plot Calculator at 5.0 against EduCalc Pro's 4.5. Bode Plot Calculator also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). EduCalc Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (32 vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
EduCalc Pro costs $1.99 and Bode Plot Calculator $3.99 up front. EduCalc Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Bode Plot Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bode Plot Calculator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EduCalc Pro has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of EduCalc Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bode Plot Calculator's.
EduCalc Pro ships an update every 2 weeks, Bode Plot Calculator every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
