Re: [App][Free] Calculator² for Windows & Android Last week, I updated Calculator² with Fluent Design elements! The app now has edge-to-edge background acylic throughout, with in-app acrylic for the navigation view and command bars. This follows the design guidelines for utility apps...

The iOS version is now available! I've added a link to the original post. Please check it out!

I recently ported the app from Windows to Android using Xamarin. An iOS app is also on the way and hopefully will be published before the summer. I'll then continue to support the app across all three platforms, focusing on Windows first for new features. I know there's lots of enthusiastic...

[App][Free] Calculator² for Windows, Android and iOS Calculator² The popular calculator app for Windows 10 is now available in the App Store and on Google Play! Calculator² for Windows...

I think they're all fair comments. I don't have an issue with people who no longer want to use the app because some content is now premium -- more the (sometimes quite hateful) reviews as a result of this. There are plenty of free alternative Currency Converters out there, and no-one is entitled...

Thanks for your support everyone! It really does make it worthwhile when people say that they really love the app and enjoy using it. Version 4 is now out for Windows 8.1. For some reason, the app is stuck in full-screen mode on Windows 10, although all other Windows 8.1 apps have tried can run...

My name is Richard Walters, and I am the developer of Calculator?. Last week I released a major update to the Windows Phone app, highlighted by this article on Windows Central: Calculator? for Windows Phone gets a huge upgrade, Windows 10 version coming soon | Windows Central. The update...

I in-advertently wrote a long comment on Rich's recent article, "How should developers price apps in the Windows Phone Store?" I thought I'd start a thread here with my comment to hear from both developers and Windows Phone users with their thoughts and to continue the discussion here. I'm a...

Hi Boris. Great app! You've done a nice job of presenting all the info. Do you have plans to add a section for reviews, something like zTop - Zune Top - MarketPlace Reporting - Windows Phone 7 ? Also, there's a couple of mistakes in the English localisation: Click refresh to reload app...

Hi yeewiz. Thanks for the purchase! :) The Tax+ button adds a tax percentage to the current value in the display. The default tax percentage is set to 20% (current VAT amount in the UK), so 100 Tax+ will give 120, and tax = 20 will appear in the top left. The Tax- button works in the opposite...

Hi Laura. They don't at the moment, but RPN is probably my most asked for feature so I've already decided to add this as a 2.0 update. I have some good ideas for the layout and how to implement the stack, so hopefully I can create quite a nice version. However, it's going to be a few weeks...

Windows 8 version now available! Calculator? app for Windows in the Windows Store The Windows 8 version of Calculator? is now in the Windows Store! It's still at an early stage and only features the Basic and Scientific modes, but I'm looking to have everything included by the time Windows...

Hi Mathias. If you rotate the phone with the start button to the right, it'll go into scientific mode. I you rotate it with the start button to the left (as you currently are) it'll go into programmer mode. I didn't even realise that there was a scientific/programmer mode until a few months...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I'm working on the Windows 8 port and the old logo really didn't work there. I downloaded Office 2013, saw the new logos, and redesigned mine the next day. PS. I think the calendar logo looks more like a calculator. :P

Thanks for the review Mjrtoo! I actually wrote a cover letter yesterday for a job application stating that I hoped my app helps people be more productive, so that's good to hear. I've also had a 5 star review in Russia recently which said that they especially like the programmer calculator. I...
