"I like this calc app because it's easy to use for basic math, has the capability to do more types of math functions, and the screen is very clear and easy to see."

I have reviewed and looked at many calculator apps for the Kindle Fire and this is by far the best of what I have seen so far. * It uses the full screen size of the Kindle Fire to give you a nice sized calculator view. * The numbers in the result display are large and easy to read."
"Its history function is invaluable when entering a string of numbers or a running total if you make an error or forget an item you can easily look back and see what you did and correct it instead of having to start from scratch."
"I believe the Free version was trying to serve ads, which the paid version does not."
"Its history function is invaluable when entering a string of numbers or a running total if you make an error or forget an item you can easily look back and see what you did and correct it instead of having to start from scratch."
"Since it is housed in a case that requires me to close the lid and reopen it to wake my Kindle Fire in the Lock Screen, a feature that doesn't always work, I'm further inclined not to use this app because that's annoying. in time, as I get more experience with my Kindle, I'll be able to correct this by altering the Sleep Time Out feature or upgrading my Kindle cover."

Other Apps just use the standard Android development Libraries and you get blank line input boxes with no explanations. The only complaint is that the Materials module lists the metals according to their Metalurigical classification rather than their common commercial names."

"I expected an "interpreter" program would let me type in a phrase in English and then translate it into the other language or let me type in a phrase in a foreign language and then translate it to English for me. However, if I was traveling in a foreign country, it would be difficult to find everything I'd want to say very quickly unless I was VERY familiar with the locations of every phrase in the program. This seems more geared to someone studying a foreign language."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The only thing that made me give it a 4 star rating was the many, many settings, 90% of which were completely unfamiliar to me, and not really explained. Update: 4/23/15 I still use this as my primary calendar, on my Android tablet and phone (paid for another version, too) and all my Kindles. A google search of the problem, like questions on floating dates, turns up the CalenGoo pages so all is not lost."
"You can change just about everything, it feels like, about the display, from the colors to the font and font size to how much of your calendar event details are displayed on quick views, and all kinds of good stuff. As far as differences between this and the iOS version, they're pretty similar, and the Android version benefits from Android's settings menu structure. Also, the tabs for switching between views are much better in android, as is the full-month sized calendar picker."
"This is my stand-alone everything app.... multiple calenders, reminders, lists, alarms all in one gorgeous, adaptable, do-whatever-you-want-with-it app!!! It can do all forms of the reminders at once (I don't have to choose between the options), with repeat and snooze options, and have as many reminders as I want it to send me."
"You can create: repeating entries with multiple reminders (using e-mail, pop ups, & SMS), multiple calendars for different types of events, designating each calendar a different color of text, and add icons to each entry. This is very helpful when you glance at your main calendar & can tell by the color of the text or the icon, you have "that" to do this week."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Thumb Keyboard doesn't have a "swype" mode, but that never works well with word predictions and swyping on a tablet-sized screen is kind of cumbersome anyway."
"I have a rooted Nook Color and when I go to landscape, I have all of the letters plus a numeric keypad nicely spaced and somehow, even when I whack at the keyboard with my two index fingers, I get surprisingly few typos vs. the stock Android keyboard."
"The one feature that keeps me using it, three years now, is the programmable macro keys. Not sure if it's Amazon's app store SDK/app requirements or what, but damn if this app doesn't phone home constantly. There have been several updates in the Play store and this is the first one on Amazon in something like a year. However, one may not assign an alternative secondary key to these phantom keys. And then sometimes the ghost of swype sets both keys, "g" for instance, to the same 2nd key, thereby disabling use of the original secondary. Let me pick 2nd keys for alt split keys. Nothing is expected and no tarnish of your excellent product will be pontificated if these simple (single sprint even) demands are not met by the time we evolve into energy beings."
"I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and I haven't had much success finding a keyboard that gives me great customization, compatible with a tablet and also with the 7 inch screen."
"The options are "right" or "left". I see no layout options to simply remove double space bars or have both have the function."

After uninstalling the app from my cell phone, and not being able to get a refund, I decided to give the app a chance on my Kindle Fire since the companion Splashtop streamer was still installed on my computer. As usual, the download process from Amazon to my Kindle was easy and the app then found my computer automatically and right away."
