Key features: - Edit any number in your calculation and instantly update the result. - Reuse results as linked values in new calculation lines. - Drag linked values to replace, insert, or adjust calculations faster. - Move the cursor inside numbers for precise edits. - Review and restore previous work with calculation history. - Share calculations as text or an image. - Customize the app with different themes and fonts. - Use scientific functions and custom constants when you need more than basic math. FlexCalc is built to stay simple, fast, and distraction-free.
