ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calculator 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calculator 2 has 9.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Equilibrians (Lite)'s written reviews are positive against 52% of Calculator 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Equilibrians (Lite) ships an update every 105 months, Calculator 2 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
