I'm a recent-ish convert and found this to be true, there's definitely plenty of rubbish on the app store similar to the play store and trying to avoid subscription services where it shouldn't be necessary can be frustrating (I'm not paying a monthly fee for a calculator). But so far I've generally been able to find high quality apps that are pay once/sync via icloud/support sign in with apple that means I've spent more money on apps in a couple of years then I did in the previous 10+ with Android
What are the top things you want in a calculator that aren’t included in the default one?
For me, RPN is a big one.
PCalc is my go-to, though most days I reach for the HP 48G that's sitting on my desk.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. I am working on a free open source mobile calculator.
In my experience the apps are more often worth paying for. Probably a viscous circle. Android always feels like a garbage bin I have to scrounge through to find some gems imo.
And this effect is even more profound when looking for tablet optimized apps, which are far and few between on the Play store. There's a few decent ones on F-Droid but iPadOS has the quality tablet app market solidly cornered.
I had an Android tablet, unfortunately not a good experience, especially now I have an iPad. The two are lightyears apart in quality. Apps were indeed a big letdown, only one tablet app on android had a decent photo editor for RAW, while with the iPad, I can do some stuff out of the box and there are a bunch of apps which are really good.
