A Chennai-based developer has won a design award for his app "Calzy 3" here at the Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2018. Developed by Raja Vijayaraman, "Calzy 3" is a highly customisable calculator that uses iOS technologies to offer features like Multitasking, Face ID and Touch ID. "This helps privately viewed saved history and bookmarks, Drag & Drop to share results in other apps, iMessage integration, Spotlight search for bookmarked results, iCloud Sync and Handoff, to help you perform day-to-day mathematical calculations in a more elegant way," Apple said in a statement late on Tuesday.

"Today people across 150+ countries use my apps and I just received an Apple Design Award. Thanks to Apple's @AppStore and huge shout out to Apple community for being passionate, inspiring and helpful," Vijayaraman tweeted on Wednesday. "When I started this journey five years back, I had no contacts, zero experience selling software, no college degree on programming and UI/UX designing. "The only assets I had was -- an understandable family and a friend, a MacBook Pro, an iPhone and some passion to do apps," he added.
"Calzy 3" helps people perform day-to-day mathematical calculation in an elegant way. One of its novel features is "Memory Area", where you can store multiple numerical values and reuse it across multiple calculating sessions with a simple drag and drop interaction. Along with calculation history, it has a unique bookmarking feature where you can save any of your calculation with date and title for your future reference.
