Using Calcylator on your phone

Two ways to use it on a phone

Open the site in your phone’s browser, with nothing to install. Or, on Android, select Get the Android app in the header or footer to open its Google Play page.

Controls that save typing

Typing on a small keyboard is slow, so use these where a calculator offers them.

• Quick-value buttons under a field fill in common values with one tap.
• Sliders can be dragged, or you can type a value into them.
• Dates use a date picker, so you do not have to type them.
• Dropdowns, toggles and radio buttons let you choose rather than type.

Share and QR code from your phone

1. 1Enter your values on the calculator.
2. 2Press Share under the answer. On phones that support it, your phone’s share sheet opens; otherwise the link is copied.
3. 3Pick the app you want to send it with.

The QR code button opens a dialog with a QR code for the calculator page. Switch on “Include my values” if you want it to open with your numbers already filled in.

Search and favourites on a phone

Search is the Search button in the header. The Ctrl K shortcut is for keyboards, so on a phone use the button. Favourites and recently used calculators appear under My Calculators on the Categories page.
