What Makes Calculator 2: The Game Stand Out
The much anticipated sequel returns to Calculator: The Game is here!
The world has been taken over by the Clicky virus and only one person can stop it … that's you … you're the one person.
The only person.
Use you're trusty new state of the art SM-1K calculator and Dot, your quick witted assistant, to track down Clicky and save the world!
In Calculator 2: The Game you'll add, multiply, delete, reverse, convert, and turn numbers into letters … did we mention there are portals?
Oh yeah, there are portals to transport numbers through, no big deal.
Sure, you've used calculators before, but have you ever "played" a calculator?

Community Insight:
This game is AMAZING we love this game ivenbeen on it everyday.
Greta game we really like the artwork for the game its simple fun and its a great puzzle overall.
Pros: This game is great. Seeing it at first we assumed it would be a kids math learning game and well so far its not the most difficult game and Im sure kids would have a lot of fun learning math with it. We definitely would not describe it as a math learning tool its an engaging puzzle game with cute art and light humor. Im not a big math guy and we certainly didnt think we would want to spend time on our phone doing math but this game is just incredible and addicting and doesnt feel like Im really doing math at all. The UI is also super cute and everything is controlled with the buttons on the calculator. When we first saw the store button on the menu we thought it would be some micro transactions but turns out its a cute merch store with everything from plushies to t shirts to magnets. If your done playing through the story there are also daily challenges to try which are super fun, Cons: This game has an average amount of ads Im perfectly fine with it and we get its an indie studio making a free (and really fun) game but if you cant bear watching ads keep that in mind. Also this is small but the arrow on the calculator looks like this => which also looks like a greater than or equal to sign so that confused us at first but one we realized what it was we were fine.
Its fun for people like us. The calculator is a bit slow other than that it is perfect.
This game is pretty fun and we enjoy playing it a lot, hence the 5 star rating. The only issue Ive been running into is that, on occasion, the app just crashes. One of the times it crashed, it sent us from level 78 all the way back to level 9, which sucked.
Just downloaded this and it looked really fun, but every time we open it it crashes within the first few seconds. We are using an iPhone 6S, and it is updated up to date, and still have most of our storage (around 100GB). We hope this can be fixed soon, because it looks really fun. Thanks for taking the time to read this review! Edit: problem fixed! Not sure if it was updating our phone or what but now it doesnt crash! We love the game already and it is super fun. -Little T.
WOW! Our brother had the first one, when we were looking for it, we found the second one! This is soo good! No lag, no glitches, works perfectly.
As others have stated the app crashes the second you try and open it. Please fix.
This game is awesome! So far we have seen no problems and the little guy is so cute!!!! We highly recommend this game. As you go on it gets harder to, so for someone like us that is awesome! If you are bad at math tho, dont get this game, you might not like it. We dont like math but we love this game.
App crashes every time we open it. The cover starts to slide down then it crashes (rating 5 stars out of courtesy).
Fun game with tons of cool levels.
As the title shows, the app crashes on us each and every time we open it. Luckily, its free. We would like to play it sometime. We hope this can be fixed. We are using an iPad.
This is how learning about math should be. Instead of formulas and rules, in this game you make the math happen just by messing around with numbers until you get what you are looking for. Even if you didnt like math as a kid, we greatly encourage you to try this game out.
Title says it all. We cant play this game since updating to iOS 13.
So we used to play the game on our iPad and worked. Tried on our phone And doesnt work. Plz fix.
We havent played this game for long, but so far, we like the concept behind it. The gameplay is fun as well, except for one problem: an upscaled interface. When we play the game, the buttons with calculators buttons are too large and they cross each other (unlike in the game screenshots on App Store). If you fix this problem, our score will be a straight 5/5. Im playing it on an iPhone 11 Pro and running iOS 13.1.2.
Even though we dont like math that much we thought this was really cute and fun! :3.
Its great for learning math and it also great if youre on a road trip or something and youre bored and you wanna have a game and you have a nice percentage to play.
This game gives us entertainment while doing educational activity . We get to problem solve by doing math problems while enjoying ourselves binge playing this game.
We HATE math but this doesnt make us feel like we are doing math we just feel like we are playing Awesomely cute rpg clicker!!! Math can die in a hole but this game cant.
We like the concept of this game.
Game is super fun! The 8-bit feel makes it feel so nostalgic and the character is so cute! Love it.
Its very fun but might be a little challenging for children.
This is a awesome for the hole family.
Occasional crashes, and the adds get more frequent the more you play, but otherwise a neat puzzle game using math.

The game looks really fun, but for some reason it is not working on our phone. If you could fix that we would be glad. Thank you.
Hello! We love the first game of Calculator with all of its uniqueness and simplicity. Anyway, we attempted to install this one and whenever we try to boot the app up it is grey for a couple of seconds and then it has the calculator cover that unfolds and then it crashes. Ive deleted and reinstalled the app two times and Im still having the same issue. We are on an iPhone 7 just to let you know. We would greatly appreciate if you fixed this issue if anyone else is having it! Thanks! – Brayden.
We love this game so much. Im a big fan of number-based problems, and your simple design and color scheme is really appealing to us. However, we do have difficulty actually PLAYING the game. For awhile now, whenever we open the app, it crashes. Sometimes after one second, sometimes when we try to start the game, sometimes when Im in the middle of a puzzle or right after an ad. We do hope this gets fixed soon, but other than that, an absolute pleasure.
Fun game but way too unstable in iPhone 8. Crashes constantly.
We downloaded this game two days ago and loved it. However we closed it and now every time we open it, it closes or kicks us out of the whole thing and it will happen randomly too. After a level or to it will just kick us. Please fix this, the game is simple and can help you learn. Again this kicking thing is a big thing. Please fix soon.
So we just downloaded the game, and we dont normally write reviews. But we feel like we need to. The game wont stay open long enough for us to even select anything from the menu. Im running on an iPhone 8 Plus with the 13.2.3 update. It either crashes as soon as the game launches or a few seconds after it launches. Im also downloading some other apps too if that has to do with it. Thank you.
It is good but sometimes we complete all the goals and we dont win. Please fix this glitch and we will give you 5 stars.
We feel like ppl should be able to make custom levels.
Its a swell game. Love the concept. Love the execution, pace, and challenge. Only thing keeping us from giving 5 stars is how many times we had to reboot the app when it bugged out. Not the worst hassle, considering the app works properly on reboot, but in all we had to close the app and reload it close to 20 times by the end. Good thing it doesnt have a long load time.
We really love this game especially since it encourages math in a funny way but the fun is ruined when the adds randomly pop up on the bottom of the screen and It can be really be annoying when your trying to think.
The button size is off for us. They are too big.
We tried to play this game but every-time we open it, it keeps crashing. Is there anything we can do to fix it.
Dont get us wrong the game is very good, it can teach you better math skills, and its fun. Although we think that during one of the levels it jumps to very high difficulty it should be lowered. It is a good app, but there is constant crashes for some reason, we want to play the game and open it, crash, we actually make it to the title, crash, we make it to a Level, crash. There are rare occasions where this dosent happen, but its very rare. Can you please fix it.
Its a cool game we enjoyed the first and moved on to the second but it does not work we open the app it shows us the back of a calculator then it closes.
We think its a really cool concept for a game and we saw one of our friends playing it a while ago. We never got around to it until now, and we dont know if anyone is aware of this, but on our iPhone 11, it just crashes. Ill get on, itll start the opening of the calculator, and then just crash. The farthest Ive gotten into it is hitting enter and seeing the dot character tell us he doesnt have time to explain before the game crashed again. Id love to play, and would happily rewrite this review if the issue got fixed. We dont know how to reach out to any of the team because the game crashes before we can find any information, but Ill look online and try to contact someone because we really do want to play this game. Thanks to anyone who sees this.
Its a fun game but it keep crashing once in a while, our phone is a iPhone 8+ we hate when it happens.
This game is amazing, we also liked the calculator the game 1, best game ever!, just one slight problem, when we open the game we gotta swipe as fast as sonic downwards, or else it will crash and we cant play the game.
We just downloaded this app and its refusing to open. Im on iPhone XR.
We used to love this game!!! We gave it a break and deleted it for a while, but we redownloaded it and it crashes every time we open it :/ hopefully this changes soon.
The game is fantastic and one that challenges you in a fun way, but it rarely loads. Nearly every time we try to play it it just crashes on the home screen.
We were shown this game by someone else, and when we played it, we thought it was a really unique and cool game. We started playing it a lot and eventually reached somewhere around level 75-80 in under a week. But today, we went back into the game and we were only on level 6. We are very disappointed. Ive also experienced a glitch where our game crashes when we open up the app or at random times. The person who recommended this app to us also had these bugs. We dont think we saw any reviews reporting bugs like these, so we wanted to do it ourselves. We really like this game, so please fix the glitches as soon as possible.
Every time we open the game, it crashes when Im playing the game. But it is a really fun game to waste time.
The game doesnt save our progress, so if we got level 35, always came back to 10.
Really good game for someone who likes math but crashes when we try to open it.
