Everywhere.
Making meetings on the outlook app on my phone for work is a complete and utter chore. I can't look at emails at the same time. While I end up popping everything out on my PC on my phone that's not possible.
This is basically the same thing and on a desktop I'd pushed I end up dumping all the info in the scratch pad of an Emacs session phones just don't let you do that.
I wish iPhones either supported it in landscape, or got a feature called ‘slide-over’ from iPadOS, where you can float another app on top of your current app, off-screen to the right. There’s a little edge you can then grab and pull over your current app to quickly peek or copy info back-and-forth. When you’re done you just slide back the ‘slide-over’ app.
It’s a really clever feature. And I know swiping on the gesture bar exist, but it doesn’t have nearly the same rapid fluidity of slide-over.
This however is very obvious and I think it's a great idea. If I had iOS I think I would install it.
I have the same issue programming when I get popups for various autocomplete or method description or whatever.
Typically, I'm actually focused on the previous line like a hook into my thought process and almost need that hook to get into the next section.
This app is just a simple example of how people visualize the steps into complicated stepping alongside logic.
and the thing is that even using the M/MR/MC feature was foreign to me...
Single tally memory is useful on small screens. I just wish they’d display the stored value somewhere.
1. Not skeuomorphic.
2. Indeed, flat.
3. Almost identical to the iPhone native calculator, except it uses round-edge rectangles instead of circles.
For example
iPhone calculator is a skeuo calculator because it has the same layout and limitations of a physical calculator.
Soulver is a non-skeuo calculator because it is built around the benefits of a computer and ignores the history of a calculator.
In that case you can also consider the iPhone "dialer" to be skeuomorphic, as it has the same layout as the old physical buttons. The digital keyboard is also using the same layout as a physical keyboard.
One could argue that on a touch screen, the buttons are there because it is the most efficient layout and not because it looks like a physical calculator. In that case, it is not skeuomorphic.

It definitely is designed to be a physical calculator though to the extent it is an actual copy of a famous one [1], and has all the limitations of a physical calculator even mincing the memory limitations of a physical calculator.

A skeuomorph (also spelled skiamorph, /ˈskjuːəˌmɔːrf, ˈskjuːoʊ-/)[1][2] is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system. Examples include pottery embellished with imitation rivets reminiscent of similar pots made of metal[4] and a software calendar that imitates the appearance of binding on a paper desk calendar.[5]
So a software calendar using the same layout as a paper calendar doesn't mean it's skeuomorphic. It means it's a calendar. If you had a totally unique calendar interface model but added a sewn leather binding graphic along the top, it would be skeuomorphic.
