## Review summary

Overall, users love the app’s look and feel: a beautiful, minimalist UI, easy and fun to use, with big, readable numbers, no ads, and satisfying animations. The interaction is praised as relaxing and quick for basic tasks. However, multiple reviews note missing features that power users expect: a scientific mode with advanced functions, a history and settings tab, and more customization (skins) that some paid for but can't access. Some find the product too basic for their needs or encounter readability issues with dense digits. The app excels in aesthetics but lags on functionality.

### Pros

- Beautiful, minimalist, aesthetically pleasing design.
- Easy to use and fun.
- Big, readable numbers with a tactile feel.
- No ads, distraction-free experience.
- Satisfying animations and sounds that enhance the user experience.

### Cons

- No scientific calculator / lacks advanced math options (e.g., sin, sqrt).
- Missing calculator history and a settings tab.
- Paid features (skins/customization) feel locked or not accessible after payment.
- Only basic four-function calculator; not useful for more complex calculations.
- Numbers are very close together, which can be hard to read for some users.
