This is an ad-free, simple, and user-friendly calculator designed with the following convenient features: - Display of both the equation and the result: It shows both the equation and the calculated result. Users who don't need to see the equation can choose to hide it. - Instant calculation without pressing the equals sign: Calculations are performed immediately without the need to press the equals sign. This feature can be toggled ON or OFF to suit individual preferences. - Square root calculation capability: It can perform square root calculations. - Wide range of color variations: The calculator offers 12 colors to choose from, ranging from stylish to cute. The app developer was a high school teacher until recently and noticed that the iPads introduced for students in high schools didn't have a built-in calculator. Upon downloading a calculator app from the store, they encountered issues such as intrusive ads and poor usability. Motivated by the desire for a reliable and user-friendly calculator app, they created this application. It is not driven by profit but rather aims to be useful for many people, including those who face similar challenges.
