  1. 5/5Solves is everything the default calculator needed

    I first downloaded solves on my iPad because, well, you know, no iPad calculator app. As soon as I used it for the first time I downloaded it on my phone. Being able to use parentheses and write multiple functions into one problem was a huge time saver and made everything a lot easier. Solves will show you everything you’ve typed and keep a running indication of the answer. No need to hit equals and then start over if you want to add or change something. Yep, don’t forget that, you can edit a number part way through your problem and solved will update the answer using the new number. The history? All laid out in front of you right above the number keys. No need to remember numbers or hope you’re getting it right when you type it back into the problem. You can A) copy directly from history, or B) just type what you see. Sometimes I need two calculators, I have the default calculator and solves right next to each other because I can’t download solves twice. Solves fixed everything that was a problem in the default calculator app. The part I appreciate most? They didn’t try to change the entire UI or look of the app, you can set it up to look just like default app.

  2. 5/5Very simple and easy to use

    I’ve been using a TI-30X IIS for over 10 years now and every time I tried to switch to a calculator app there was always something that I needed that the app couldn’t provide. After trying at least 10 different apps I finally found this one. It allows you to move your cursor to edit an entry anywhere in the line (a surprisingly rare feature) and it allows you to recall former calculations and use the answers to them in future calculations. That combined with a lack of ads and ease of use makes this a fantastic calculator app! My only complaint is that the app tends to give 3 digits in front of the decimal when it is giving you an answer in scientific notation. For most people that is probably fine, but for my work that is annoying. If it either defaulted to 1 digit or allowed you to select how many digits before the decimal in the settings then that would be good.

  3. 5/5Beats the pants off the Mac OS calculator

    I just updated to Mac OS Sequoia and the updates to the default calculator did not delight me. My biggest gripe is that it is so darned small that I can barely see it with my 60-something-year-old eyeballs. I’m not loving the layout either. Off I went to find a calculator that I actually like. Discovered Solves. I’m never looking back. The conversion groups alone are fabulous. A couple of nice to haves: memory keys, fraction calculator, and ability to resize. That would be 5 stars. Updated to 5 stars. This is just simply the best all around calculator. Hands down. I still would like to see a few things, like a +/- button…something I use alot. But the sheer functionality and reliability of this app is fantastic. And no endless bait and switch in-app purchases, subscriptions, etc. Oleg nailed it.

  4. 5/5Best Calculator App On The Market

    I have tried several calculator apps from the App Store, each of them had issues like having to wait for the add time to expire before being able to access the calculator, to not working with an external keyboard, to intermittently not working with an external keyboard. This app has none of those issues, and I can not say what a time saver the sidebar on it is in terms of looking up the previous total on a calculation without having to redo it to get the total, nothing short of a huge time saver. I love this calculator app, swear by it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a complete calculator app that cross platforms from the iPhone, to the iPad, to a Mac Desktop.

  5. 5/5The Best!

    By far the best general purpose and beyond, calculator I have ever used. The free features are excellent and the Solves+ purchase option is so worth it too. Most developers severely cripple their free variants that it really sours you from wanting to give them any revenue but that wasn’t the case here . I find this an indispensable app that I use nearly every day and across all of my devices. Please consider the in app purchase if you can. I literally don’t know how I would survive without this app, it’s that good in my opinion. Let’s make sure that this doesn’t disappear from the App Store anytime soon.
