Calculator 17 - Math Solver
doubtful ratingPeople install it for the on-screen calculator widget that Apple does not offer, but the widget lags and trails keystrokes by a couple of seconds. Cut-off buttons, portrait-only layout on iPad, and rounding that turns 3.5x1.5 into 5.2 instead of 5.25 wear people down. Inside the app itself math is fast, and that is what keeps it around.

About the rating
Store average sits at 4.58 while the text-weighted score is 2.52. The five-star reviews are short and generic ("Thank you", "Excellent free app") while every detailed review complains about the same lag, so the high rating does not match the content.
