ConvCalc App Store ConvCalc vs Apple Calculator
Apple's Calculator has improved a lot, and it's already on your phone. Here's when ConvCalc is worth adding.
Download free on the App Store| Feature | ConvCalc | Apple Calculator |

| Scientific functions | Yes | Yes |

Which should you use?
If you want math notes or use an iPad, stay with Apple's app. If you want everyday tools like loan, age and date calculators in one place, or you prefer how ConvCalc looks, it's worth the free download. Plenty of people could keep both.
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.
