A very professional piece of software. It could be $20 no problem. Contribute people what you can, either code or money to the programmers.

Right off the bat, I noticed that the setup file for this is bigger than the one for SpeedCrunch icon SpeedCrunch

  • SpeedCrunch setup file: 9.0 MB
  • Qalculate! setup file: 61.0 MB Just a minor gripe though.

The setup wizard has an awfully classic look, kinda something from Windows XP or 98 (in my eyes at least). I ain't complaining about that though.

I ran into some complications with the setup; turns out it was because of where I set up the app (it won't work if I store the program files in the Local folder, only in the Program Files folder; fortunately, I can still set it to install for only one user).

After setup, though, this is an awesome calculator! I don't know what coth is on about it being "russophobic" or something like that. I can say though that it has no ads :) Chock-full of features with lots of functions, although I'll admit it's a lot, so you might be a little overwhelmed for the first few days or so. I recommend you take a look at the classic version first before you try the new one.

There's also a command-line version available for simplicity's sake.

Super advanced yet very user friendly with something of a rarity in that it asks what you want intended to calculate if there are any dubious interpretations in your input.

Great calculator. It's intuitive and does everything I want it to.

Everything I need in a calculator (hex number input included) in a UI that is nice to look at!

Unstarred. The app is russophobic and packed political ads

It is not like there are popups all the time or nagging text like in an android application. The only difference I could find from old versions seems to be the russian flag gone in the conversion. That may not be to your taste but the comment seems excessive.

Russophobic? Good.
