Why we pick ConvCalc
This part is our opinion: most calculators are either plain or crowded. ConvCalc puts everything behind clean, tactile keys, with a scientific keypad that opens with one tap, a history you can reuse, and 20 tools for units, currency and everyday math. It's also young, with only a handful of App Store ratings so far, so it hasn't earned the track record of some apps on this list.
