Plus, force number and magic effects not possible before with a calculator are now possible with Calculon!

Numbers change with a shake of their phone, a wave over the screen, or with a snap of the fingers! Calculon also works with other magic apps and devices, including the Versa Remote, OmniSense, the PeekSmith v2 and v3 peek device, David Penn's Pi Revelations, and more!
