A Calculator App That Lets You Move Buttons When Your Thumb Can't Reach

On a large phone, your thumb cannot reach the calculator buttons. Calculator Compact lets you move the keypad and change its size.

When you hold something in one hand and calculate with the other, your thumb cannot reach the buttons near the edge of the screen. The larger the phone, the harder it gets.
