About

PocketStat

This tool helps you assess statistical claims in various academic and professional contexts. It offers calculators for common statistical tasks like determining sample size and performing t-tests. An optional premium upgrade unlocks advanced features for larger datasets.

Highlights
  • Assess statistical claims
  • Calculate sample size
  • Perform t-tests
  • Compute chi-square statistics
  • Estimate population mean
  • Premium advanced calculations

In this day and age, it is increasingly difficult to separate conjecture from significance. PocketStat is a statistical fact checking tool built to make this discrimination less onerous. Use it to quickly assess statistical claims in manuscripts, seminars, posters, classes, and homework. Do you want to know whether the means of two groups differ from one another? Or if two correlations are differ significantly from each other? Or would you like to estimate the mean of population while only knowing the median? All these questions can be answered with PocketStat. PocketStat also has a number of calculators for everyday statistical tasks. Handy power calculators let you quickly estimate the number of subjects needed for your next study (or determine whether the study you’re evaluating has enough subjects). Use the app to compute the chi-square statistic for a 2 × 2 contingency table. You can also calculate single-sample t-tests. Upgrade to PocketStat Premium and compute chi-squares in matrices as large as 6 × 10, and perform two-sample t-tests (independent and correlated). Sadly, PocketStat can’t resolve truth from…um…alternative truths in all circumstances, but it’s a start. ************IMPORTANT CAVEAT****************** PocketStat does not use statistical libraries, so "p" values are computed by closed form equations. Although these "p" values are quite close to the actual value, they are meant only to be used as estimates, not for publication.

Statistics Calculator-- is an introductory app for our flagship Statistics Calculator++, a calculator with great advanced scientific features as well as statistical, regression analysis, probability distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests capabilities.  Statistics Calculator-- will have all the functionality of Statistics Calculator++ by purchasing a single In-App Purchase. The purchase will remove the limit on the size of the lists, unlocks the advanced scientific features, graphs the regression models, and unlocks probability distributions, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests capabilities. In designing the statistics functions of this app we had one thing in mind: The user should not need to read a single line of manual to perform the statistical analysis. Simply use Add X, Add Y, and Add f buttons to enter the elements of the lists and frequencies, if any. And you are done. All the statistics and regression models are only a few taps and swipes away. Tap the List button to see the lists entered. The elements of the lists are interpreted independently (as two separate lists) and jointly for regression analysis (if the size of the lists are equal). The sum, mean, population standard deviation, sample standard deviation, sample variance, sum of squares, min, max, quartiles, and sum of multiplications of two lists are presented in a table. Each statistics measure can be chosen from the table and used for further calculations. For regression analysis linear regression, logarithmic regression, exponential regression, power regression, and quadratic regression (through an additional In-App Purchase) are calculated. Statistics Calculator-- has an extremely simple and intuitive user interface to choose the regression model and calculate predictions for x and y values and view residuals and residual sum of squares. Other major features of Statistics Calculator-- are: - The left pane scrolls to reveal more functionality without a need to switch modes. The digits and most common operations are always visible and the less common operations can be revealed by scrolling the left half of the screen. - Shows the expression as you enter and keeps a history of your calculations (Swipe up on the screen to reveal the history) - Backspace to delete last digit entered. - Sinusoidal functions can be calculated for angles in units of degrees, radians, or gradians. The following features are available through Advanced Scientific In-App Purchase. - Capability of performing fraction manipulations and converting between different formats (proper, improper, and mixed fractions) and seamless integration of fraction, integer, and decimal manipulations. - Capability of inputting degrees, minutes, and seconds for angles and converting between degrees-minutes-seconds format and decimal format. - Capability of calculating permutation, combination, Least Common Multiple (LCM), Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), and prime factorization. - Quadratic and system of two linear equations solver - Rectangular to polar and polar to rectangular coordinate conversion (extremely useful for phasor calculations for electrical engineers) - Throws a set of dice (choice of 1 die to 4 dice) You are going to love the simplicity of the user interface and yet have the powerful functionality with which Statistics Calculator-- is loaded. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions, comments, to report any bugs, or to suggest additional functions you would like to see in the upcoming updates.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PocketStat at 100% against Statistics Calculator's 57%. PocketStat also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 21 months). Statistics Calculator's advantage is ratings volume (317 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PocketStat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Statistics Calculator has 317 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of PocketStat's written reviews are positive against 57% of Statistics Calculator's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PocketStat ships an update every 3 months, Statistics Calculator every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
