I seem to constantly collect calculator apps, but it might be good to finally settle on one and uninstall the rest.
One that looks nice, easy to use (ex. vibrates on keypress), and has advanced options that can be accessed as needed?
I was mostly using “Natural Scientific Calculator” as the non-FOSS option till now
I like Calculator++: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.solovyev.android.calculator/
i’m kind of put off by the “don’t even try to contribute without asking” part in the readme 😐
It’s somebody’s passion project. Well they’re passionate and controlling. But it’s GPL 3
A lot of these (opencalc, yetcalc) look similar, and so does Unitto, but so far this one seems the best so far.
It has more theme options, lots of conversions, and the haptic feedback feels natural enough to me :)
I just open up Qalculate in Termux.
Qalculate is great. I wish there was an up-to-date Android version.
I just use the AOSP calculator. Havent needed more than that since i left school.
Micromathematics Plus.
Arity.
You can emulate a ti83+ with an app called Graph 89.
Dib2Clac is cool too
I’ve also been looking for some calculators and while I find some good interesting ones, all of them either look clunky or have a huge learning curve or are too simple. I want a simple scientific calculator, but they’re all either too simple or too complex.
But, think about it. The calculator is designed to be a machine. Emulating that on a phone might artificially limit you. Maybe it’s better if your calculator has a different user experience, maybe the UX for calculators needs to evolve. Try out the weird stuff.
I’ve been using OpenCalc, which works perfect for me
A lot of these are great and this one came close, I found usability could be better.
Usually when I need a calculator it’s when I’m doing something else, out in the rain etc. I’d prefer some more (higher contrast) theme options and at least vibration on keypress.
It’s a beautiful calculator, but it’s too much like typing on a glass slab.
