Hijacking the thread. Does anyone know of a simple paid calculator app for iPad? They all seem to be riddled with ads or obnoxious "cute" features to justify the price
I love PCalc. It's not "simple" by default, but you can make it into what you want.
It also works for iOS and WatchOS.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's always a REPL close by for users that are technical enough.
I used `bc` for years and years
This felt so intuitive to me that ever since, I’ve ensured my machines had ? do calculations in the shell (by aliasing it to whatever could do math).
I find that calculators remain weirdly unergonomic on most Operating Systems. There are so many times where I want to do some quick math but feel hobbled by the insistence of calculator software writers to ape physical calculator design -- Numi seems like a cool step in the right direction
Soulver is a similar app for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS with shared documents in iCloud Drive. Check it out if you’re looking for something like this to go!
Soulver is no longer available for iOS and iPadOS. It's been pulled until version 3 comes along: https://twitter.com/soulver/status/1375548200833146884
Looks like there is a TestFlight link to get Soulver 2 for iOS and iPadOS if anyone is interested in it: https://twitter.com/soulver/status/1375368313774215171
I use Soulver 2 on my iPhone and iPad at least once a week and couldn't imagine going without it.
Do we have the dev here? I love the idea of a fast and tiny calculator notebook. I was a big Mathematica user (as long as my uni paid for the crazy expensive licence) for even simple calculations, and this would almost scratch my itch. I'm saying almost because it needs a bit more work, at least some more quantities and units, like speed, voltage, power etc. And it all breaks down if you try do a calculation where th…
I have yet to find an alternative that is more convenient
1) Configurable keyboard shortcut to bring this up 2) Good units/percentages/bytes support 3) Variable assignments / custom functions 4) Long History

Since others already mentioned many fantastic alternatives, let me share mine: https://bbodi.github.io/notecalc3/
As I see it it is rust and wasm. It would be nice to have some note about the architecture in the docs, maybe someone would pick it up to make a desktop app from it too.
