We're sorry, but your 30 day trial has ended. Please pay for Calculator Pro, or watch this 30 second advertisement to continue your calculation.

Just use the default one that came with your phone.

LOL, no kidding, ya don't say huh?

Some folks use 3rd party scientific and/or programming calculator apps, which do tend to come with advertising banners.

I was definitely exaggerating in my joke, but as apps and services head more and more to a subscription model...

We live in a dystopia. ☹️

There are like 20 different calculator apps on F-Droid, ranging from basic to scientific. There's plenty of instances where the dystopia screws you, calculators ain't one of them.

I literally always have AI and access to all human knowledge in my pocket!

No, but it's a cool novelty!
