Details
Using a simple calculator app to sum up a list of numbers is not effective as you would have to retype all the numbers to check and verify if the sum is correct.
That’s the reason for some people who switch to a full-fledged spreadsheet like Excel just to add up a column of numbers. It is easy for checking and editing, and saves precious time without the need to re-enter them.
But if you don’t like to use a bloated app to perform simple mathematical calculations, CalcNote is an ideal alternative. It is like a spreadsheet but works much simpler and easier.
CalcNote is a notepad calculator that reads and calculates numbers mixed with inline text, like $4.29 * 10 packs + $5.90 shipping, with support for multi-line calculations and line references.
Inspired by Soulver for macOS and iOS, CalcNote is made available for Android with the user interface consisting of an editor area, results area, total area, and a customizable multi-functional keypad.
All numbers and text in the editor area are editable so that you do not need to type them all over again for re-calculations. Moreover, all calculations by CalcNote are generated in real time. They can be saved into or retrieved from a file, copied to the clipboard and shared with others via a third party app on your mobile.
CalcNote is equipped with a calculation engine that allows for regular mathematical operations, modulo operations, variables, power, factorial, permutations, combinations, trigonometric functions, etc., with hexadecimal, octal and binary supports. It also has an optional unit converter and currency converter built-in.
An online manual of CalcNote is provided by the developer here.
The free version of this app is supported by ads while its pro version is a paid-for product with no ads.
