Go Calc equivalent for Android

[cavemanaf]

Another "what's the Android equivalent" thread I'm afraid.

I need something that does exactly what Go Calc does but for android. I need a clean, simple interface that allows me to quickly access custom formulae for calculating values on the fly. Effectively, a mobile friendly front end to some fairly simple excel spreadsheets with basic formulae.

There must be something that apes Go Calc, surely?

Why want some app that ape Go Calc since it already does what you need? Unless Go Calc is paid instead of free+ad?

Sorry - should have been clearer (although the clues were there! )- Go Calc is only available on the iPhone - hence need an Android equivalent.

Because there is NO Go Calc for Android. Its an iOS app.

To the OP: I don't know of any app that has saving of custom formulae, but personally I won't recommend using one. If someone is doing formulae for math problems, he's likely a student, engineer, physicist or something of the sort, and personally I'd like those people to know exactly what they are doing and not rely on something for those stuff. But that's just me.

It's for me, and it's to help with some repetitive calculations I have to do on a regular basis. Ie, insert number, get answer, without having to punch in all the calcs every time. Would be hugely helpful and allow me to be far more efficient at what I'm doing. (Plus you're less likely to make finger errors is you only have to input the variables!)

The annoying thing is I could whip up everything I need in excel in about 10 minutes, but it is unwieldy to use on a phone - hence Go Calc is just a phone friendly front end to an excel spreadsheet. I really hope I'm not going to have to write this myself.

Sounds like you are looking for something like this:

That is a good start - because there are quite a few different formulae I really need something with a better front end that allows me to choose from a menu of my formulae. Impossible to please some people!

Really what I qant is a phone friendly excel front end that allows me to define the forumlae / variables and access them via a simple menue system
