The ad filled app sucks for sure, but it is correct in this case.

There's 4 levels to PEMDAS, not 6.

  1. Parenthese
  2. Exponent
  3. Multiplication or Division
  4. Addition or Substraction

I looked and it's actually wrong. With the exception of MathGPT, I haven't found any e-calcs which do it correctly.
