calculator app

Digital adding tool

A calculator app is software on a phone, tablet, or computer that performs arithmetic and mathematical operations.

Most smartphones include a basic calculator app by default, though more advanced versions handle scientific or graphing functions.

Some calculator apps serve as decoys, requiring a password to reveal hidden photos or messages: My kid had a calculator app hiding all their texts.
