What’s not to love? The “fit and feel” are as good as grabbing a physical calculator.
Name Already Taken Three Times's Review of Pcalc Reviewed on 5/23/18 10:43 PM Almost Perfect for Scientists star star star star star_border I still use Wolfram|Alpha for graphs and really complex stuff, but PCalc offers the best basic calculator option around. A calculator workflow that is obscure, but loved by many. This app even includes settings for Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) calculators. I rarely see such dedication towards providing a functional product. This app is created and maintained by a developer who uses their passion to directly benefit their customer. Not only can you create entirely new button layouts, but the core functionality can be tuned to fit your workflow. The customizability is insanely accessible. This is the calculator app that is made by calculator enthusiasts.
This app was not a weekend project or a simple calculator that looks good.
#PCALC LITE APPLE WATCH SKIN#
Xuis's Review of Pcalc Reviewed on 5/23/18 6:53 AMĪ calculator is usually one of the first apps that a developer makes because it is relatively easy to make a simple calculator and skin it to look pretty. The calculator app that is actually made by people who care about calculators. But right now it gets 2 stars for accuracy. Please fix this issue once and for all and I’ll happily give PCalc the 5 stars it deserves. But I do keep checking it to see if it’s fixed because I’d like to use it. You may ask why I use this app if I feel I can’t trust it. Some will consider this an outlier issue, but I’ve had it crop up several times in calculations where precision mattered (it’s one reason I stopped using Numbers until Apple fixed it). So either Apple fixed their libraries or the Numbers team and every other calculator programmer/team is using an alternative math library.
#PCALC LITE APPLE WATCH INSTALL#
PCalc STILL gives the same incorrect answer (just tried it on a fresh install on a new iPhone). However, for more than two years Numbers, Apple’s calculator app, and every other “current” calculator app, correctly handle the above equation. At the time, Apple’s calculator app and Numbers both exhibited the same problem, as did many other calculators (but not all). A few years ago I emailed the developer about this issue and he explained it was a problem in Apple’s libraries used to create the PCalc. My issue is that it still has accuracy problems. Juntaone's Review of Pcalc Reviewed on 8/23/18 8:46 PMįirst, I really like PCalc overall, from its customization options to the Hitchhiker’s Guide reference to the widget. Great app with accuracy issues star star star star_border star_border The point being, if you don't like what you see in the default layouts, you can make it be anything you want it to be. I'll stop here not because there is not more to say, but because this calculator shines once you start exploring the many options available. All the labels for each key can be set to whatever you want. The layout customization is very sophisticated, allowing you to have keys that are hidden until the 2nd key is pressed. This took me a while but my layout is automatically saved to iCloud where it syncs with my other iOS devices. I was able to duplicate this keyboard layout and, with the appropriate theme, I was able get it looking very nice. Case in point: I love the elegance and simplicity of the original HP35 from 1972. With PCalc, the amount of custimization possibilities is dizzyingly vast but, once the shock of available options wears off, you are rewarded with a true sense of empowerment. As an RPN lover and HP calculator addict, I have searched for and tried most of the offerings in the app store only to be disapointed by the rediculous skeuomorphic designs that abound. The depth and breadth of this app is a true labor of love by the author who has spend decades perfecting it (see his website). I have downloaded (and bought) many iPhone calculators and PCalc is by far the best.
It can be anything you want it to be star star star star starĬlaudius Marcus's Review of Pcalc Reviewed on 8/28/19 2:09 PM
