  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Okay.. have you ever tried to use a generic calculator on the computer or iPhone, tried to write out a long equation, to see that you can only see the current number or the most recent number written? have you ever wanted to write 3(5+4/1.02)^0.02? well, if you've ever tried that on another mac calculator or the iPhone calculator, you would have been extremely disappointed. in this calculator, the functionality is that of a graphing calculator - you can write out long equations, be able to track your progress as you type, use parentheses within parentheses and not have to worry about whether it's going to do what you asked it to do or not. if it looks the way you would write it, it will work! yes, the (^) button does not work as a power button, which is very disappointing, but the replacement is simply two multiply buttons! asterisks! (**) !!!!!!!!... or, if you want to make it more complicated on yourself, you can write Pow(base, power) ex: Pow(2, 2) = 4. although you cannot write 5Pow(2,2) and get 20, you can write 5(Pow(2,2)) or 5*Pow(2,2) and get 20, or you can even type 5*2**2 and get 20!! the ability to write things out as you would on a graphing calculator is EXTREMELY important to me in a calculator, and this is <i>the</i> calculator! if i ever get an iPhone, i will surely have to find an iPhone application that can replace the stupid, simple iPhone calculator. (That's right Apple, i love you guys, but your calculator, even the scientific one, sucks *sadface*). ONE MORE THING!!!!!.... Mr. Developer and writer of Iota-Calc, this application seems to be missing certain functions! such as Logs!!! and Natural Logs!!! and though Matrices are not extremely important to me, it seems like it would be a great thing to add!!! Thank you! n_n
