Graycode vs Notebook Calculator
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Graycode
This utility converts numbers between decimal, hexadecimal, binary, and Gray code formats. Changes to one value automatically update the others, making it a convenient tool for engineers. It also features an animated demonstration of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle.
- Decimal, hex, binary, Gray code conversion
- Real-time updates
- Handy calculator for engineers
- Animated Tower of Hanoi solution
- Supports iPhone, iPad, iPod

This app is used to convert numbers among decimal, hex, binary and gray code. If a user changes any one of these numbers, the other ones will change accordingly. It is a handy calculator for engineers to obtain the binary or gray code values from a decimal, or vise versa. In addition, an animated solution of a Hanoi Tower with three disks is also demonstrated based on the input number.
Notebook Calculator
This app functions as a powerful calculator with a notebook interface, allowing users to write, edit, save, and graph complex calculations. It supports a wide range of mathematical and statistical functions, including scientific and complex number calculations, with features like copy, cut, and paste for easy editing.
- Notebook interface for calculations
- Edit, save, and graph history
- Scientific and graphic calculator functions
- Complex number calculations
- Extensive mathematical functions
- Statistical functions
- File management for calculations

A=2 B=3 C=A+B Click “Run”, the screen shows: C=5 If the line C=A+B is annotated , A=2 B=3 //C=A+B Click “Run”, the screen shows: B=3 - Variable Naming Rules: Start with letters, and not involving keywords. A, A1, B25, HAT (right) PRINT1, COS (wrong) - The Usage of PRINT: A=10+5 B=10/5 PRITN A,B Click “Run”, the screen shows: A=15 B=2 Default variable name is RESULT , e.g. 16+5*6 Click “Run”, the screen shows: RESULT=46 - Combination & Arrangement: C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!) A(n,k) = n!/(n-k)! - Complex Number When there is “i” or “∠” on the screen, it automatically enters Complex Number Calculation Mode. e.g. X=3+4i or X=5∠53.1° 9 functions are available for the Mode. SIN(X), COS(X), TAN(X) COT(X), SINH(X), COSH(X) SQRT(X), ABS(X), CONJUGATE(X) - Integral INTEGRAL X²,2,4 Default precision is 300 times of calculations. It can be more accurate, e.g. 500 times. INTEGRAL X²,2,4,500 - Graphics PLOT SIN(X) PLOT X² Default length = 10, width = 10. Specify the lenght = 20, width = 5. Then we have, PLOT X²,20,5 Default dense is 150 points. It also can be customized, e.g. 200 points. PLOT X²,20,5,200

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notebook Calculator at 100% against Graycode's 67%. Notebook Calculator also leads on chart position (#191 vs unranked) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Graycode's advantage is update cadence (every 10 months vs every 40 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
