Agreed, it's very nice now I know how it works. Yes, better (or simply more visible) explanation would be fine, I think. Perhaps a few fundamental points — like how selection changes behaviour — would be good somewhere like the Play Store description, or a very simple text in-calc help page?

Quote:I used to have a y^x button instead of ^. I couldn't decide whether it should use an italic serif font like all other math, or bold sans like all the other large buttons. Both looked awkward.

I'm not good at this GUI stuff, so I'll leave that to you. Just, for me, I didn't immediately equate ^ with the power operator, since I've never seen it marked that way on a calculator. Could be just me that's being slow

thanks again, overall I'm hugely impressed!
