Why? Does it have 80085?
Worse, lots of really basic math
Get a load of this nerd! He calculated 7 x 4
32, big deal
55378008
You recently calculated 34*5+1. Do you want to buy a new washing machine?
You recently calculated
I don’t know why but this part kills me
It's because of the log function
Very punny.
It's was all clearly calculated.
Yes, and it's brown because of the tan function.
Yes, and it's brown ~~because~~ cos of the tan function.
"Continue to use of all the numbers you love!*
Starting August 1st, numbers 9, 7 3, 2 and 0 will only be available to members subscribed to our premium Calc+ tier.
Spotify intensifies
Something about this just doesn't add up.
If only there was a way to get to the root of the problem.
It will require our undivided attention.
To get even.
Those puns leave a negative impression
These puns sure did a number on me
I would like to clear them from my memory.
I don't know how to access that function.
Just put two and two together and you'll get it.
I can’t even imagine what data there is to collect for an application this simple.
That privacy policy better be really short.
On the bright side, a simple calculator ought to have plenty of free and open source alternatives that don’t harvest any data.
Your calculator would like access to your contacts.
Your calculator would like permission to send and receive phone calls.
Your calculator would like permission to view and delete emails.

How else are we supposed to be able to share calculations to your social network????
My calc app also has its privacy policy there. It says
OpenCalc does not collect any user data.
Using our implementation of Microsoft recall, we can see that you're calculating the price for your online purchase of Samsung AiPro Washing machine. We can see you can't afford it, but don't worry! We've applied a 10% coupon to your purchase so it'd be a bit cheaper for you!
Still not good enough? Try our Ai powered financing application!
"=" [locked] Infix subscription required
...
"base ten" [locked] subscription required, reverting to octal
In fairness, I've had to write a privacy policy due to store restrictions. It boiled down to "everything stays on your phone. I don't collect your data, I don't want your data, I don't even have a backend server that could be collecting your data. If you find my app sending telemetry of any kind, please tell me immediately because that should not be happening"
That being said, this doesn't exactly inspire confidence
They want to monetize any proofs you find.
Now get to work crunching numbers.
GrapheneOS + network permission toggle
Or just use a FOSS app from F-Droid
Open calculator is pretty cool and very pretty.
Material theme ofc
Nice.
It's possibly compliance. I know google requires you to have a privacy policy to even publish an app, no matter what.
Someone worked to make that app, either you pay for it with money or you pay for it with privacy, your choice.
Looks fake as fuck, My calculator app doesn't need any permission
In normal Android, I don't think internet access counts as a permission, nor does basic data collection.
Indeed
Mine just shows this on the store
Still
The network access I guess it's for the currency conversion, but the rest is pretty standard stuff for haptic feedback and memory management.
Nothing strange there at least for me
