About this app

AlexCalc is a scientific calculator with some neat features (note: also available as a web app at https://alexbarry.github.io/AlexCalc/ ):

• nicely formatted (LaTeX) equation display. This avoids the need to count brackets to make sure the equation was entered correctly. Also includes LaTeX code generation.

• complex number support, in rectangular or polar form (e.g. `3 + 4i` or `1 angle 90`)

• variable storage (e.g. `123 -> x` then `3*x^2 - 4*x + 5 -> y`)

• units in equations, and conversion (e.g. `1 inch * 3 ft to cm^2` or `sqrt(60 acre) - 100 ft`)

• can enter input by button presses, typing, or copy/pasting. Button presses are all converted to plaintext input for easy copy/pasting.

• equation display is simplified upon pressing enter. This means that when entering an equation, it is usually possible to look only at the LaTeX display and not the plaintext input: but when pressing enter, it will look nice. Redundant brackets are removed, including those that are needed for plaintext input (e.g. `(a + b)/(c + d)` can become "a + b" on the numerator and "c + d" on the denominator without brackets).

• light/dark themes

• previous input history can be accessed and edited by pressing "up" or "down" buttons.

• previous inputs/vars/recently used units preserved when the app is closed

• standard scientific calculator features, such as:

• trigonometric functions: sin, cos, tan, arcsin, arccos, arctan

• base 10 and natural logarithmic functions: log (base 10), ln (base e)

• `e`, `pi` constants, and square root function

• scientific notation input (e.g. `1.23E6` is 1.23 times 10^6)

3

Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager

Launch the app from your home screen

Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be net.alexbarry.calc_android is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 1.0.13 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall AlexCalc first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of AlexCalc, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
