The CMCalc application is a replica of the Casio CM-100 Computer Math Calc solar powered calculator that was sold in the mid 1980’s. It performs simple decimal arithmetic and basic binary conversions (decimal - binary - octal - hexadecimal) and binary logic functions. While it is a standard infix calculator, it supports operator grouping with parentheses. For hexadecimal calculations, the input keys include A through F. CMCalc application performs all the same functions as the calculator, and has the same look as the original. There are a couple features that were not conceivable in the 1980’s on a calculator … such as the ability to copy and paste the results or the entered function, and a landscape mode for devices with 4 inch or larger screens. The face of the calculator can be viewed in two modes including a traditional application style, and a photo replica of the original calculator face.

Triangle Solver! FEATURES INCLUDE - Presents the formulae it uses - Accepts angles in degrees OR radians - Reports answers to many decimal places - BIG TEXT To toggle between degrees and radians simply tap the blue angle unit symbol. Given three measures of sides or angles of a triangle (including at least one side) this app can find and report the rest. This app "solves" triangles. This app's most special feature is that it reports the formulae it uses so you can learn how to solve triangles yourself. The number of decimal places is determined by the width of your screen. If it's too few, turn your device horizontal! Each side is across from the angle of the same letter. Sides are lowercase, angles are uppercase and denoted with the angle symbol (∠). This app may be good for engineers or Trigonometry students.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Triangle Help holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CMCalc has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of CMCalc's written reviews are positive against 0% of Triangle Help's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
