Good for creating (and solving) more complex equations

First, lets be clear: If youre just looking for a simple calculator to do arithmetic (i.e., addition, subtraction, division), intermediate mathematics (e.g., exponents, roots, etc), or even basic trigonometry (e.g., sin, cos, etc) then this calculator may well be more of a frustrating gimmick than a useful tool. If you can easily accomplish your calculations on a traditional calculator, there are better apps that mimic that experience.

So when does MyScript Calculator come in? For solving more complex equations that are difficult or cumbersome to type into a normal calculator, or which are easy to enter but difficult to follow the work, or when you want to share the results by e.g. exporting your work as well-structured visual equations (e.g., to embed into homework, a paper, or a presentation). If that’s what you need, this is an exceptionally useful app.

If you’re less interested in the automatic attempts to solve your equations and more interested in the ability to simply draft equations, you should check out MyScript MathPad, by the same developer. It uses the same engine for translating writing into equations, but instead of making any effort to solve the equations, it simply provides a blank canvas for creating them. And, as an especially useful feature, it allows those equations to be exported as TeX (a markup language for expressing mathematical notation), which is something that Calculator does not support.
