## Description

The MyScript Calculator 2 turns handwriting math into real-time results on a digital canvas. Write calculations by hand, use multi-line inputs, fractions, and a broad set of operators without a keyboard.

Reuse results with memory, retrieve past calculations from history, and share or export to clipboard or other apps. Drag numbers across the canvas, memory bar, or into external apps, and edit with intuitive scratch-out gestures. Built on MyScript Interactive Ink for natural handwriting recognition and the next step in digital ink.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise MyScript Calculator for its fast, handwriting-based input—especially with the Apple Pencil—and its strong basic-calculator performance, often calling it the best calculator app and worth the price. It’s appreciated as a handy teaching aid and for quick calculations. But several reviews note it falls short for algebra and advanced math, struggles with longer formulas, and can misread handwriting. Some features require a subscription after purchase, and there are reliability concerns with occasional incorrect or incomplete results.

### Pros

- Excellent handwriting recognition and Apple Pencil input
- Fast and convenient for quick calculations; faster than typing
- Strong basic calculator; helpful for teaching/kids
- Widely regarded as one of the best calculator apps and worth the price

### Cons

- Limited to basic math; lacks algebra features (no solving for variables, no cube roots, no precalculus support)
- Handwriting recognition can be unreliable and misread input
- Post-purchase features may require an ongoing subscription; frustration
- Occasionally provides no answer or incorrect results; reliability concerns
- Poor handling of longer expressions and some functions (e.g., square roots) leading to incomplete solutions
