Hello! I'm looking for a FOSS replacement for the calculator app that I currently use, N-CALC, that is now not even released in the play store (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duy.calc.casio) and only available from sites like APKFree. I tried all the various calculator apps on F-droid but none of them supported "rich text" (I don't know how to call it):

Any tips?

thanks in advance!

Why does one even need rich text in a calculator app?

It is way more readable (at least for me) so it's easier, especially with longer formulas, to check if there are errors or not. Woth plain text calculators like Calculator++ I do a lot of mistakes confusing all those brackets

Calculator++ https://www.f-droid.org/en/packages/org.solovyev.android.calculator/

It doesn't have the mathematical notation like the screenshot, but it's one of the best.

This one is very simple but very interesting! It's sad that the last commit was in 2020 but I think I'll use it anyway if I don't find a better alternative, thanks for pointing it out!

Math hasn't changed much in 3 years 😉

Math isn't, but bugs and new features cannot be fixed/added
