Why do we need a PWA (Progressive Web App)?

PWAs offer several advantages, particularly because they don't require large amounts of storage or extensive permissions from your mobile device. You can install and use the tool just like a regular app without worrying about unnecessary permissions. Some key benefits of PWAs include: 1. They take up minimal space and consume very little memory. 2. There's no need to search for the website every time; the app can be accessed directly from your home screen, just like a native app.

What if the app doesn't show the latest UI changes after an update?

On some devices, this issue occurs primarily due to hard cache stored on the device. Although the tool is designed to clear old caches and replace them with new ones, some devices may still experience this problem. To resolve this, please uninstall the app and reinstall it on your device.

Does the app show the same details as the website?

Absolutely! The app is an exact replica of the website. It offers the same functionality and features, providing the same user experience. The only difference is that you'll be using it as a native app, making it even more convenient to access the calculator.
