Suggest modern calculators that can calculate

horde

in this thread https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/29556-best-calculator-app, specifically this thread it shows Fossify failing at basic math, and yetCalc too. Are there any other calculators that suffer from same issue, any recommended ones.

I would like this thread to also mention other issues from different calculators so users can be aware.

horde Have you tried CalculatorYou?
It seems to be the favorite calculator of must people here

I doubt anyone has engineered a calculator app (open source at least) as accurate as the stock Android calculator. Your best bet would be a fork of it if you don't like the appearance.

I generally use the stock calculator for quick calculations on-the-go. Even though it's ugly, in terms of UX and accuracy it's perfect. For weirder things (aka doing actual math stuff) I use a graphing calculator which is both (reasonably) accurate and much more flexible. Desmos is simple enough for most usage and for advanced things Geogebra is unmatched in features. Both are available on the Play Store and work offline perfectly well.

I'm not a mathematician, but https://github.com/forzzzzz/Calculator-You seems decent. It at least passed the 'tests' in the linked thread. Perhaps someone with more time could find a flaw in it.
In either case, linking it here might be beneficial.

r134a wouldn't it be beneficial for GrapheneOS Team to.use this as the main stock calculator app if the default one is inferior?

DeletedUser622 this https://github.com/cybro/PalmCalc ? very outdated

horde Is it ever issue for an app with no permissions?

I use realcalc. It works and I like that I can chose RPN mode.

DeletedUser622 there was a post on this forum that outlines all possible issues with outdated apps, but unfortunately I can't find it anymore.

I can verify as well that Calculator You works well.

If you're looking for a more advanced calculator, I also use Graph 89 with a TI ROM which works well. Desmos works without Play Services to my knowledge (there's a pop-up stating it needs them to function but it has worked for everything I have needed it for).

How did you download it without Google Play Services? Do they have an official APK?

AcclaimSublevel19 I used the Aurora Store app from F-Droid.

The emulator route is the way to go for me. Very happy with https://github.com/czodroid/droid48sx

There's also https://github.com/dgis/emu48android, which is technically superior in terms of features due to it's emulated system (48GX, rather than the SX)

But I'm sticking with droid48sx solely due to it's more polished user interface, and better haptic feedback when pressing the buttons. 😳

BTW, there's also HP-15C and HP-16C simulators here: https://github.com/zathras/jrpn/

Very nice! I prefer to see the stack, though, so 48SX emulator wins again. 🤓

But classic RPN calculators, revived!

Keep in mind you can also do calculations in Termux using Python or Octave, among others.

All I've mentioned are guaranteed accurate, at least.
