Calzy - The Mediocre Calculator

This app really failed to impress me. It may look better than most competing apps on the market today, but it doesnt even stand up to even the simplest of calculators when it comes to its primary purpose - calculation.

For instance, there is no conceivable way to input negative integers of any sort. Im simply baffled. And while I can appreciate simple (read minimalist) design, I cannot help but be bothered by the sheer lack of functionality this app offers.

By long pressing on the output, one is given the option to edit the expression. This gives you the choice of either deleting or moving variables accompanied by their prefixed function. Theres no way to actually edit whats written in the expression!

What angers me most about this app is not the fact that I wasted $1.99 on it, but rather that it falls into the cliché of designers choosing form over function. No matter how good your interface is, one mustnt forget the primary objective.

But I have faith, that with some updates, Calzy can one day live up to its name.

1/5
