Calcbot — The Intelligent Calculator

by Tapbots

CalcBot is the most polished calculator app in the App Store. Even the audio is well thought out and makes you feel like you are operating an old school calculator. The live history feature is very useful. You can easily look up previous calculations. The calculations also display what you just entered, which help you not enter the same number twice. CalcBot is the essential calculator app for the iPad.

Digits, the calculator for humans

by Shift

Digits Calculator is much more than a simple calculator. It is a more of a calculating tape that can be edited and refined as you do your math. The tape allows you to go back and change numbers. Another amazing feature is the ability to label your entries, which makes it great for remembering what that number is for. Multiple tapes are supported in the app, which help you carry out multiple calculations. Digits Calculator lacks the nice polishes of CalcBot. We love this app and believe in a future update it could become the essential app.
Free

Calculator HD for iPad

by CrowdCafé

Calculator HD for iPad is another fantastic app for the iPad. The calculator app features basic, scientific, note, and tape calculators. We love the interface and design of the app. The note calculator is especially handy, as is the tape calculator. For those looking for a tape calculator we would recommend Digits Calculator. Those looking for a single app with four great calculators should grab this one.

Calculator XL

by Luke Campbell

Calculator XL is a great free option. Those with poor eyesight will want to use this one. The numbers are nice and large. The buttons are big and easy to use. Calculator XL is the app to have for those with poor vision or those that just want a huge calculator.

Stone Tablet Calculator

by DeeDub Software LLC

Stone Tablet Calc is a fun little app. We would not recommend using this as your main calculator app. The developers have designed an app to look like a stone tablet. It is a fun and unique design, but not the best of the bunch, functionally.

Custom Calculators

by logicworks

The eBay, eBid, Amazon, Half.com and PayPal Auction calculator helps you figure out how much money you will earn from your next sale. The app computes the cost of doing business on these popular selling sites. You can discover how much money PayPal will take from you, and how much money eBay will take from you (as well as the other sites listed). The app is incredibly useful and well worth the $3.99.
