What FOSS calculator app are you using? (lemmy.ca)

I seem to constantly collect calculator apps, but it might be good to finally settle on one and uninstall the rest.

One that looks nice, easy to use (ex. vibrates on keypress), and has advanced options that can be accessed as needed?

I was mostly using "Natural Scientific Calculator" as the non-FOSS option till now

Micromathematics Plus.

Arity.

You can emulate a ti83+ with an app called Graph 89.

Dib2Clac is cool too

I've also been looking for some calculators and while I find some good interesting ones, all of them either look clunky or have a huge learning curve or are too simple. I want a simple scientific calculator, but they're all either too simple or too complex.

But, think about it. The calculator is designed to be a machine. Emulating that on a phone might artificially limit you. Maybe it's better if your calculator has a different user experience, maybe the UX for calculators needs to evolve. Try out the weird stuff.
