Calculator #

I’ll start off by saying I have loved this calculator for over a decade. I first downloaded this calculator 29Dec2012 and have used it regularly. One might ask why would I give a one star review to something I’ve used for so long for free? The first 6 or 8 years or so there were absolutely no pop up ads. I think there may have been an ad banner at the bottom for a while but nothing crazy. It’s been a few years now that the ads have started increasing. I haven’t had a problem with that because they weren’t too bad. It started out with an ad that would pop up once every few times using it and would allow me to close it out pretty quick. It’s been getting more frequent and longer lasting ads. It’s now that every single time I go in to use it, one pops up and makes me watch a 15-30 second ad every single time. There are way too many options out there that it’s about time for me to delete this one and find a new one. Guaranteed I can find one that doesn’t have ads. Maybe I just go back to the one Apple provides. Been a good run for the past 12 years but I guess all good things do come to an end

This calculator would get a 5 star review from me if it didn’t have ads with sound that come up randomly. This makes this calculator useless if I am using it in a classroom, since I have no idea when these stupid and intrusive advertisements will interrupt my studying or the rest of the class. In fact, I was interrupted from my studies just now from an advertisement, and I decided enough is enough and wrote this review with the hope that the devs will remove the intrusive and interrupting advertisements. I’m fine with the banner ads, I understand they need to make money, but having these ads pop up in your face and making sounds interrupting classes or studying is just way out of line. If the devs remove the intrusive ads I will change this review and give 5 stars. Functionally, it works great, the display is awesome with a history of previous calculations to make multiple operations easy. It has all the functions of a scientific calculator that you would need. But

Because of schools closing due to COVID-19 it’s been hard to adjust to online learning especially because i don’t have all of the resources and supplies that i would have at school regularly. Especially in math because i don’t have the money to buy a nice calculator and the school doesn’t provide any. This really saved me because it had all of the tools needed to help solve and understand the stuff that we’re working on and learning at this time. I could just use a website on my computer buts it’s way easier and more convenient to have it on my phone rather than switching the tabs back and forth :)
