About

AlexCalc

Read full description

AlexCalc is a scientific calculator with LaTeX display, supporting button or plaintext input. Supports variables, complex numbers, and units. The LaTeX display makes it easy to see how your input is interpreted-- no more counting brackets! Some features: - complex number support, in rectangular or polar form (e.g. `3 + 4i` or `1 angle 90`) - variable storage (e.g. `123 -> x` then `3*x^2 - 4*x + 5 -> y`) - units in equations, and conversion (e.g. `1 inch * 3 ft to cm^2` or `sqrt(60 acre) - 100 ft`) - can enter input by button presses, typing, or copy/pasting. Button presses are all converted to plaintext input for easy copy/pasting. - equation display is simplified upon pressing enter. This means that when entering an equation, it is usually possible to look only at the LaTeX display and not the plaintext input: but when pressing enter, it will look nice. Redundant brackets are removed, including those that are needed for plaintext input (e.g. `(a + b)/(c + d)` can become "a + b" on the numerator and "c + d" on the denominator without brackets). - light/dark themes - previous input history can be accessed and edited by pressing "up" or "down" buttons. - previous inputs/vars/recently used units preserved when the app is closed - standard scientific calculator features, such as: - trigonometric functions: sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, arctan - base 10 and natural logarithmic functions: log (base 10), ln (base e) - `e`, `pi` constants, and square root function - scientific notation input (e.g. `1.23E6` is 1.23 times 10^6)

About

VoltLog

Features
Read full description

VoltLog is a field tool for FPV pilots who use LiPo, LiHV, and Li-ion battery packs without smart battery electronics. After a flight, log the pack voltage and VoltLog shows the safety status of each battery on a clear, color-coded dashboard. The goal is simple: know which packs are safe for storage, which need charging, and which should not be left full for too long. Built for FPV battery routines: - Track battery packs with name, brand, cell count, capacity, chemistry, and cycle count - Log voltage per cell with a large custom keypad - See STORAGE, CHARGED, FULL, FULL RISK, DISCHARGED, and CRITICAL states at a glance - Open full cycle history for every pack - Set global and per-battery alert timing - Use local notifications for risky full packs and low-voltage reminders - Work offline-first with local Drift storage - Secure or switch accounts with Supabase Auth when you want cloud-backed data VoltLog is not a charger, cell checker, or battery management system. It is a practical logbook for pilots who already measure voltage and want a faster way to keep track of many packs. Designed for the field, not a desk: - High-contrast dark dashboard - Large battery tiles - Fast voltage entry without the system keyboard - Battery archive for retired packs - English and Polish interface If your FPV case has more packs than memory can reliably track, VoltLog gives you one place to see what needs attention before battery degradation becomes expensive.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AlexCalc at none against VoltLog's 3. AlexCalc also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). VoltLog's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
