What's new?

Educational Articles: Learn and Understand

We believe that understanding the tools you use enhances your overall experience. That's why we've integrated educational articles directly into the Android app!

  • Learn with Ease: Each tool now comes with its own dedicated tab containing an educational article. This article explains how the tool works and the formulas behind the calculations.
  • Extensive Coverage: Currently, we've added articles for 100 out of the 150 available tools. Our goal is to include these educational descriptions for all tools in the upcoming months.

This feature not only helps you perform calculations but also empowers you to understand the concepts behind them, making CalcKit not just a tool but a learning companion.

Dynamic Categories: Customize Your Toolbox

Personalization is key to a seamless user experience. With our new dynamic categories feature, you can now tailor CalcKit to better suit your needs.

  • Create Your Own Categories: Whether you use built-in tools or custom tools you've created, you can now organize them into categories that make sense to you.
  • Easy Management: The categories will be displayed in the same familiar place, the left-side menu. Modifying a category is simple—just long-press the category you want to edit.
  • Flexibility: Add, remove, and rearrange categories effortlessly through the "Manage Categories" page in the Settings menu.

This feature puts you in control, allowing you to streamline your workflow and access your favorite tools more efficiently.

Embed Calculators: Easy Integration on Your Website

We are excited to introduce a new feature on CalcKit Web that allows you to easily embed both built-in and custom calculators on your own websites with a simple copy and paste of a few lines of HTML code.

  • Universal Compatibility: The embed function works with any type of website, such as WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and any other CMS, as well as custom-built websites.
  • Seamless Integration: Simply open the calculator/converter you want to embed, press the "More" button in the top-right corner, and select "Embed". From there, you can configure the widget, copy the HTML code, and paste it into the specific page on your website where you want the calculator to appear.

This feature allows you to extend the functionality of CalcKit beyond the app, providing interactive calculation tools directly to your website visitors.

Other Changes: Enhancing Your Experience

  • Streamlined Interface: All "Resources" have been moved from their own tab to the "Electronics" category for better organization.
  • Improved Translations: We've improved the translation in several languages, making CalcKit more accessible to users around the world.
  • Library Updates: We've updated all libraries to their most recent versions to ensure optimal performance.
  • General Improvements and Bug Fixes: Various other improvements and bug fixes have been implemented for a smoother, more reliable user experience.

We're confident that these updates will improve your CalcKit experience, providing you with a more efficient, user-friendly, and powerful tool for all your calculations.
