It's not every day that I come across an app that takes my breath away, but My Script Calculator is just one of them. There are many calculators in the App Store, but the vast majority of them just use keys, buttons, or something like that to type math formulas and expressions. But it's not an example of My Script Calculator, because it doesn't use any buttons, because you write into it with your own hand.

When I write in other electronic calculators, I usually have a hard time finding the formulas I want to write in the tags, and on top of that, I usually get "stuck" on having to come up with lengthy procedures of combining them to give me exactly what I want. It's completely different with MyScript Calculator. What you design on paper, you can easily redraw there. Don't worry that you have to have a beautiful font, the app will read almost anything. It's just a shame that it doesn't adapt to your handwriting style over time. If you accidentally make a mistake, just cross out the character and rewrite it or press the back arrow, which deletes the last step. If that wasn't enough for you, there's a trash can icon in the upper right corner that erases the entire screen.

Now you probably think it's just some stupid calculator that you type into with your own finger. It's not like that. MyScript Calculator handles trigonometry, inverse trigonometry, logarithms, constants, exponentials, fractions, and a very interesting feature is calculating unknowns. A question mark is used for this and the application calculates it for you based on other inserted numbers. In addition, it can also handle light calculations that you can use every day anywhere, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, brackets and much more. There is no easier way to multiply, divide or add something in your own handwriting than on paper. And if your hand starts to hurt, you can rest it on the display, because the program will automatically recognize an accidental touch.

You can count simple examples…

…or even more complicated.

Only small details are missing for absolute perfection. Formulas from MyScript Calculator can be copied, but they are then inserted only as images, which is a bit of a shame. The application does not use any gestures and is always written with only one finger.

MyScript Calculator is one of those illustrative applications that mix touchscreen drawing into real life and make it productive. I myself have yet to find a better "calculator" for calculating equations, and even my teacher downloaded it from the App Store after a little browsing. The application is for both iPhone and iPad.
