## Description

Solve is a calculator like no other. It solves expressions as you type and features an innovative memory system to store and recall answers. Simply touch the answer to store it and touch the stored answer to use it in an expression. 

Graphing shines with 2D, polar, and 3D plotting using the x, y, and θ variables. Enter functions like sin(x), cos(x), or r=2θ and Solve will plot them with a single touch. You can plot multiple graphs by separating equations with commas, use T for time-based animations, and see a "Touch to Plot" prompt that guides you. The interface is color-coded for quick distinction, making it ideal for students, educators, and professionals who want fast computation and visualization.

## Review summary

Users repeatedly praise Solve for its multi-page/workspace setup, graphing prowess (including time and 3D plots), and a simple, easy-to-use interface that supports backspacing and seeing work. The most mentioned downsides are conflicts with iOS gestures (double swipes to exit or page-switch), an outdated UI and update cadence, and the home indicator hiding which complicates exiting. Some users also note numerical precision limitations. Overall, it’s valued for graphing and workflow efficiency but benefits from UI modernization, gesture alignment, and improved numeric accuracy.

### Pros

- Multi-page calculator workspace with stored values across pages and the ability to use multiple calculators at once
- Graphing capabilities including time-varying plots and 3D curves, with a printing-style view of work/backspace functionality
- Easy-to-use, straightforward UI for everyday math with intuitive navigation and quick calculations
- Notable capability to have several calculators at once and reuse results effectively

### Cons

- Conflicts with iOS navigation gestures: bottom swipes can exit or switch apps or change calculator pages, leading to accidental inputs
- Outdated UI and perceived lack of timely updates for modern iPhone designs; not updated frequently
- Hiding the home indicator forces extra swipes to leave the app, reducing ease of exit
- Floating-point accuracy issues and lack of higher-precision handling are repeatedly cited by users
