I'll break down why this is bad:
- Clicking any function button doesn't add parentheses for the functions, even though it requires them.
- There's no way to go back a step in the guided tour and there's no way to just pause the tour and still be able to switch steps.
- The documentation doesn't cover what the buttons do, what the syntax is for each function, etc, although it gladly spends considerable time teaching programmers what a debugger is... as if we didn't already know. Now there's some screwed up priorities.
- It brags about following C/C++ order of predecence, but it doesn't do much else in the way of being like C++. Want to test (true || false)? Too bad. How about (!false)? Too bad! The evaluations are a strange mixture of REALbasic and C/C++.
- It doesn't save its preferences. I hope you like the default colors for everything.
- Why is "follows the order of precedence" a feature? It wouldn't be much of a calculator if it didn't follow them!
- There's no way to keep track of old expressions. What kind of calculator these days doesn't have that?
- $25!? For a calculator!?
...and finally:
- 5^2 = 7. Learn something new everyday, huh? I could have sworn it was 25, but like the guided tour says: "Suppose you were expecting a different answer. Iota-calc lets you step through the evaluation to see why it got the answer it did."

Great--then it includes a grammar checker.
