Calculator Reviews

Apparently, I thought Calculator would be useful for once, but it looks like this app is dropping down to a one star review. Before I tell you anything, I would just like to say a quick thank you to Apple for creating notes. Now; for the bad things about this horrible app, when I press any of the buttons to solve the math problem and gave me the same number that I wrote down on the this app, and then it keeps on solving it with the same number that I multiplied or did something by, you guys need to update your new app because Calculator is going to get a one star review if you don’t fix it hi guys this is me the person who wrote a bad review about Calculator, I would just like to say sorry because it turns out that Calculator is kind of useful when you need it, thanks to Apple now we have a carefree app that can help us do you math,
maybe this will help me study more hey; I heard the review about don’t let your kids use Calculator, well whoever wrote that stop worrying a lot because what could possibly happen on this this app? It’s not like someone’s going to stock your child, everyone you need to let your kids use Calculator so they can study more, and whoever wrote that review y’all are stupid

If you hit one wrong number you have to start the entire problem over again. This is iOS. Not a 1990’s this app. Please create a more modern version that shows every addition/ subtraction/ action being performed- please show the entire input! And please allow a backspace/ delete option for if you want to change what you just entered- that way if you press the wrong button you don’t have to start your entire problem over from the beginning. It’s so unnecessarily tedious. This is a basic function that maybe you all should focus on rather than any gimmicky thing you might be thinking of/ working on for the future. And the iPad. Really???? Get your basic functions modernized please Apple!!!!!!! Surely some creative millennials can accomplish this if you give them enough trophies and breaks/ extensions/ delays/ time off for therapy/ whatever it takes!!!!

Also just want to add that I want everything through iOS. That’s why I want more from this this app app. I don’t want a bunch of 3rd party apps who profit off my information and behavior.

I used Calculator often until it somehow disappeared from my Home Screen. I’ve went to the apps & tried to get it back on my Home Screen although it only allows me to “open” it instead which is a huge pain whenever you’re in need of a quick math equation. If there’s another way to get this back onto my home page as it used to be (no other apps just disappeared) PLEASE HELP me! I’m not the smartest whenever it comes to these smartphones but this also isn’t rocket science. I didn’t delete it myself, but there should be a way that’s easier to get it back & not having to go to the apps to find it & then still not having a way to get it back. I’ll change my review if/or when I can get it back w/o going through this hassle every time.

Okay, first off, I can do math okay. I barely even use Calculator. But the first time I used it, it was for a basic problem. I was just checking my work. It said a different answer than what I got so I changed my answer cuz how can a this app be wrong? I turned in my assignment and he marked the question that I changed wrong and put the correct answer. It WAS THE ANSWER I GOT BEFORE. I was confused and said, " I checked with my this app. " My professor showed me how to do the problem and I had it right the first time. I was upset but figured I put the numbers in wrong. So when I got home, I tried the this app with 2+3. It said 18!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!! Like, the answer is 5. I kept trying with other problems and they were all wrong. Please help Apple. DO NOT USE APP NEVER RIGHT.

If it would show the things that you put into the this app instead of just displaying the answer, that alone would make it 10x better. Things like using parentheses and multiple operations are hard to perform when you don't even see what you are doing. Also the sin cos and tan functions are weird. You have to press the number then the function which I find is not near as nice as the way a ti84 would work. Also, having to flip my screen to get to things like power and functions is really inconvenient. At least add a setting that could make Calculator more like a normal this app for those who wanted it. I understand why light users would be ok with the way it is now but it is pretty inconvenient for everyone else.

Just because this this app made for apple doesn't mean you have to cut out so many features to the point where im confused if my equation has even been typed in. I wont ever know if 1/2 has been typed in for example because 1/2 wont show. It will be 1 and THEN the 2 bur the this app wont show me 1/2. I NEED to see the freaking equation im working on to be able to make use of a freaking this app. Quit marketing this this app as the best looking this app apple has ever made when it cant even do the simplest thing (such as showing my freaking equations). Your calculators only good use is for my 2+2 equations. And thats very embarrassing. Worst rated this app in the world. And its on YOUR app store!!!?

Calculator does what it’s supposed to fairly well, but if you need to do a quick decimal to binary or hex conversion often throughout your day it gets super aggravating to have to wait on an ad to finish before starting. It wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t load a video ad EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN Calculator ! I work in automotive manufacturing so sometimes I need to figure out a conversion really quickly but wait a minute everyone. I know we need to get the line moving, but before we can I have to learn about candy crush for the next 30 seconds. Just put in a banner ad and save me from this madness.

I don’t have a problem with having ads on my this app app. But this has gone too far. You can’t open Calculator without multiple pop ups, video ads will come up in the middle of trying to type in an equation that are unskippable for 3-5 seconds, by which time I’ve forgotten what numbers I was trying to type in. This is just atrocious. I could live with the banner ads, even the pop-ups when first opening Calculator . That was fine. But whatever complete brain dead moron thought that unskippable video ads would be a good idea in a this app should probably lose their job. Calculator is no longer functional.

This game is awesome and nostalgic. I’ve been playing it for years. I do have some requests to the devs. Can you update the game? Like I’ve said, I’ve been playing for years but no updates. Also, there’s a bug when I use the balloon with the shuriken against another balloon, it makes a balloon. This is what happens. I do 0*0 and it comes out 0. Please fix this. Also the graphics are trash.

I have needed Calculator for school and to Kay count stuff and sometimes I do school work on my IPad. I do stuff on my phone too, but Calculator should really be on a IPad. I would think why haven’t you put the this app app on the IPad yet? You are one of the best things to get phones, IPads, AirPods, etc, but to see you just don’t have a simple app on the IPad is disappointing. I hope you put on there now or soon.

Thank you if you read. I hope you consider what I have said.

Apple is generally pretty good at these sorts of utilities but the this app app has been sub-standard for many years. The parenthesis are all but useless, as Calculator is extraordinarily hostile to any kind of diverse user input. It’s functionality is on-par with a cheap this app from the 1980s. My expectation of a scientific this app is to be able to type a complex equation into the screen, then hit equals, and have it compute the answer according to PEMDAS. Would savable variables be too much to ask for? Any this app from Texas Instruments or Casio can do this, just pick one and copy the functionality. Maybe Apple just makes too much money on royalties from third party this app apps.

So I got Calculator, right? Thinking, “hey! I could use a good app to help me with math!” So I look on the apple store and just download this one, thinking, “ it’s a this app app. How can it be bad?” Well I was wrong. Let me explain. I downloaded Calculator and was immediately asked for a subscription, which confused me, because it’s a this app app, and usually, or at least the ones I’ve had, never needed a subscription. Then I realized after like, every math problem there would be an add. Why. Then after doing 3 math problems on this, apparently I can’t anymore because I NEED to pay the subscription to use this everyday. 😬

I never thought the this app app would be something I miss about my Samsung but here I am. I don’t understand how they managed to make a this app this difficult to use. It erases all of your inputs and there isn’t even an “answer” button to input the answer from a previous problem so you basically need a photographic memory if you want to do anything but the most simple problems. Also from what I’ve seen the other this app apps on here are equally as terrible or they have so many ads that you basically can’t use them. I just switched to apple and I’m not impressed.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A NORMAL this app WHY DOES IT NEED TO HAVE ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!I guess the “geniuses” at sillacone valley really struck a great idea let’s add ads to the most basic utility everyone needs? I look forward to switching to galaxy flip. At this point apple will do anything to make a dime. Shame on them. What next your going to charge me to unlock my phone every time. I wish people cared more about things like this because this is definitely a slippery slope. If I could have a good solid reason as to why I wouldn’t care but I can’t possibly think of one.

I have exactly the problem of the previous poster! The this app spontaneously disappeared from my home screen! And when I come to Calculator Store to replace it, I see no option to reload it—but only to “open” it in Calculator Store! Does Apple imagine that I’ll join it in this ridiculous dance every time I need to use a calc?? If so, they’re mistaken!!

The this app app is a useful idea but isn’t very well executed. It is too oversimplified. What it can do, it does well. For example, it can do basic algebra. While this is good it is missing a lot of things. That is to be expected though as it is most likely made for basic everyday math. I do still wish it had more.

It’s impossible to play. You press start and then when you press AC for accomplishments, it just kicks you out of the game. Then when you try to press the two swords in the shape of an X to battle, it doesn’t start. I don’t understand

This is the worst this app I've used on a phone in years. Unless I'm missing it, there doesn't seem to be a back or delete button. So if you type one wrong number in you have to start over. Pretty sure my flip phone in 2003 could do that. I came to iPhone from a Google Pixel 2 that had a great this app. You could even scroll down to see all the past equations and numbers you had typed in. Apple's this app is a joke in comparison.

It’s a fine this app app, but it needs to be on iPad.

Yes there are third party apps, but none of them can be accessed from the control center, which is my primary way of accessing the this app on iPhone.

Just put it in control center on iPad and let it exist as a floating window, just like quick note.

iPhones have always had this app… Macs have it… even watchOS got it. Why oh why in 2021 on the 15th version of iOS is there no this app for iPad? Every June I get my hopes up to be surprised to see this and Weather for iPadOS announced at WWDC, and every June I continue to be disappointed… fingers are crossed for iPadOS 16…

I don’t see why people are making a big deal out of Calculator? Apple tries really hard to make these apps for us to use them on our devices so at least give them some respect. Yes I understand that when you do type in the wrong number you do have to restart the equation all over again but it’s fine! If you guys don’t like doing that, that’s just borderline laziness. So if you guys really wanna write bad reviews at least appreciate that Apple put in the time to make Calculator. Think about it, out of all of Apple’s apps do you think you could make them exactly the same but still just to get bad reviews? Yeah I didn’t think so. Anyways I do rate it a 4/5 stars bc yeah when you do type in the wrong number you do have to restart but that’s ok. Thank you Apple for putting in the time to make amazing apps for us. Appreciate it 🥺👍🏽.

Why, with access to nigh infinitely malleable software, a company like apple would voluntarily choose to make their this app work like it’s from 1973 is beyond me, but they have. The only thing that you can see is the current number you are typing, and that’s it. Once you’ve moved on from typing one number you will never see it again, not even when you’re done. That’s right, with a this app that doesn’t display what you’ve typed you’d think you’d at least be able to review your equation in a history tab, but no, they couldn’t even do that. You gotta type every equation as carefully as a new password being double verified, because if you’re like me, you’re gonna type every god forsaken equation you have to do on Calculator at least twice, because the ambiguity otherwise is just unbearable. But, if you’re even more like me, you’re just gonna avoid this abomination of software like the plague.

Is the expectation that we should use Numbers any time we want to crunch numbers? It would just be nice to have a free, ad free app available for quick basic calculations. To my knowledge Apple offers a this app on every other device. Please do the same for iPad. I use the iPad as my primary work device, and would really appreciate not having to whip out my phone.

I have a few things,

Firstly, the user interface is horrible. The fact that certain features are hidden until you rotate your phone is absurd, there should at least be a button to change between the two in portrait mode. And the fact that you cannot see what you have inputted into the this app, nor what you have previously calculated makes the situation worse.
Parentheses don’t even show up during a calculation once pressed, and god forbid you accidentally click the wrong mathematical symbol!

Secondly, the application that they have labeled a UTILITY, is disgustingly incapable of doing simple maths such as the equation “6/2(1+2)”. In which the this app provides the answer as “2”, when the correct answer is “1”. And while that may not be far off, it is not something that is complicated to compute. And the fact that I cannot see if I typed the equation correctly makes the situation all the worse!

For such a large and wealthy company I cannot believe you haven’t seen this error.
You should really look into redesigning and correctly calibrating this simple basic app and it’s functions, because at this point you’re essentially providing misinformation to the public.

I can’t remember if I wrote a review, so here’s either the first or the second!
I really really like this this app. I like its large print. I can’t see that well anymore and this is a huge help.
I had a brain aneurysm several years ago and my mind is not the same as it used to be. I have a very difficult time with addition and subtraction, sometimes even with the simplest equations, like what is 6+9 or, today, how do I divide 50 between two people?
Thank you very very much for this!

I don’t understand, why are people blaming it on the this app app? There is just something wrong with their phones. And I also don’t understand because one person “Thanks for notes!” And now there blaming in the wonderful, amazing, great, and totally useful( everybody’s phone doesn’t work so to them it’s not useful.) this app app! I love just playing on this app and just doing random numbers and adding them, subtracting them, etc. I am giving this a 5 Star review!

I find how to reinstall the this app that comes on the iPhone. Swipe to your main Home Screen and wipe one more time left to right, then swipe down from top to bottom until you get pass all the news stuff and whatever else there is then you will see the this app up there so hold the widget until u can drag it down like you do other apps to rearrange it and drag to where you want it

One star because it is a default app and made me download another this app app. As for a default app on iPhone should be promising but it lack features if you have to deal with numbers constantly. What I personally miss the most is the RPN mode, it is a must have on any this app for me. Two features I would love to have to give it a 5 star rating: RPN mode with 2 or 3 lines of data and Backspace button. I wouldn’t think of downloading another this app app if it had those things added to it. Already has this feature on MacOS. Other nice feature to have is a financial mode besides scientific mode when you tilt your iPhone

Is does exactly what it’s supposed to do and it will work just like a regular this app. Also I saw Someone say they paid $5 for add removal and they had a subscription on it that renewed after one your and they didn’t know they was being charged… Calculator has no adds at all and it has no subscription or anything to buy that costs money. This is just a simple this app app with no adds or subscriptions. I don’t know why people are saying that they paid money to add and subtract, but this is not true at all.😂

Ah, the iPhone this app—a tool as essential as it is frustratingly simple. The humble this app app offers little more than a pocket this app from 1985.

Let's address the elephant in the room—the missing history feature. Even the abacus probably had a more advanced memory function than the iPhone this app. Picture this: you're in the middle of some crucial calculations, adding up your monthly budget or dividing a restaurant bill by that awkward number of friends who showed up. One wrong tap, and poof! Your carefully entered numbers disappear into the ether, never to be seen again. Want to review your past calculations? Good luck! The iPhone this app is the Snapchat of math—here today, gone in a split second, with zero recollection of its existence.

Apple somehow decided that the ability to look back at your calculations is unnecessary. You know, just like how history classes are unnecessary; who needs to learn from the past? With iOS updates rolling out annually, featuring new emojis and AR capabilities, it seems astounding that a this app history tab hasn't made the cut. Are they trying to save it as the show-stopping feature for iOS 23?

While we wait for Apple to add a feature as radical as "history," feel free to jot down your calculations on a piece of paper—just like your ancestors did it.

Everyone is saying bad things about Calculator like if you type one wrong number then you must restart the entire problem which isn’t even a big deal just get over it. This is a great app and has a lot of different options to do an equation with and all everyone is talking about are the flaws. I understand that it’s the point about reviewing so that they can fix it but no one actually appreciates how good of a job Calculator does. Whenever me or my sister needs to do homework we use this since regular calculators don’t have as many buttons or options to use. This is a great way to figure out problems both basic and advanced. Most calculators don’t have these options so if you don’t like Calculator then just stick with that. Also not to mention that on iPad you can change the colors and background of the screen. This is such a great way of doing math even if it’s advanced and like the other review says, Apple works hard to get us apps we could use every day but all we are doing is hating on it. Please just get over it. That’s all I have to say. Thank you

I work in a laboratory where you need a this app all the time. Any mistake can significantly affect your data/results. When doing calculations, I like to revisit my procedures to double-check if no mistakes were done during the calculations. Unfortunately, with this this app app, it is very frustrating to do this since there is no history option and no delete or edit your numbers as well. It is a shame because it seems like a good this app that is inhibited by lack of important and quality of life functions. I would recommend another this app while (or if) Apple ever add these type of features to its app.

Nowadays before you use anything or do anything you have to read reviews so that’s what I do! But good lord, the cry babies leaving reviews here is hilarious! If you want the history function then go get an app that has that! Before you ask where’s the delete button, um there’s the clear button sweetie! If you’re typing 35+ and the 35 goes away, you probably need a new phone because it’s not Calculator ! This is meant to be a basic app I’m sure because there’s 13 year olds with phones and they don’t get taught basic math in school anymore! Get a grip people! Ha

Everyone keeps saying you have to restart if you type the number wrong but that’s not true. This is a typical this app and is way easier then having to by one at the store and always use it. If you type in the wrong number all you have to go is swipe your finger to the left on the number and it goes away. A lot of calculators that are bought don’t allow you to delete. So I don’t understand why everyone is complaining about a free app that everyone uses all the time. This is a 5/5 and I have no complaints.

everyone saying you have restar the entire equation if you mess up a single number, when all you have to do is C out and type the correct number. it doesn’t delete the entire equation, just the one currently being entered. people are just dumb and don’t know how to use apps. the only reason i’m giving 4star and not 5 is because they should allow you too see the entire equation you’re working on and not just the current numbers being entered.

To start, you pick a character and grab a pair of binoculars, and then you spot the treasure by the X. But be careful! As soon as you get the treasure, there’s this snake thing. But it’s okay, because you can pick up the axe, the bow or the arrow and kill it! And then just see what you got. The only flaw is that it doesn’t have any female characters, but there’s no males either so it balances it out. There’s also some glitches with certain commands, like trying to use the arrow with the balloon. So yea, pretty good game, 4 stars out of 5, would play again.

This is probably one of my new favorite apps for school! It helps with my numbers and adding, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I used to use a real this app to do math and I always had to set it up to get it ready and took forever! 😒
I’m so glad I have Calculator and so glad I throw that this app away 🤣! I still have confusion on how to use it cause it just is confusing. But it’s okay cause I get better at it every time I use it! 🥰😘

I wish there were more perks and options with the already installed this app. Like the option to see it’s history or how we would like to organize the this app to fit our needs. I’m a forgetful person most times so my need is that I need a this app that shows me what I have already inputted. Otherwise I also have to get the paper and pen out. I really love convenient things to make life simple and easy. Calculator is simple and easy but not really convenient.

It’s a shame that I have to download a different this app app. Having great already-installed apps that come with the phone is what I would say would make a brand also thrive and to get more noticed. To make a new phone worth its purchase and to stand out.

The simplicity of Calculator backfires on itself. For one thing, you can't see every number you imputed when doing long equations so if you messed up on one number you'll have to imput everything again.
Next is that there is no clear delete for if you typed a number wrong, youl have to retype the whole thing. It could be a skill issue but then again it's not just me that has that problem.
Another thing that I personally find annoying is that the this app app doesn't have a widget you can add to your home screen. It's something that's very convenient to have but alright with forgoing since it doesn't negatively impact Calculator .

I gave Calculator a 5/5. I normally don’t rate apps but this one I had to. There is no way that Calculator deserves a 3.1 out of 5. You guys are acting like you have never used Calculator to finish your math homework or project. You guys are giving it bad reviews for it making you restart when you make a mistake that you want to fix. It is not the apps fault. It’s your fault that you made the mistake. You guys are giving Calculator bad reviews because of your mistakes. STOP THE HATE ON Calculator!!!!! 😡😡😡

Ok so… right now I’m working on Algebra 1 in math, and I don’t want to pull my physical this app out when I have homework. So, I’m like… well I can use my phone! Except… I can’t. Fractions are a basic part of math, right? So when I want to do fraction math, I have to get out of my comfortable spot, and grab my this app. (It sounds like I’m really lazy, but who wants to get out of a comfy blanket and position just to get a this app on a Friday night?) So… if you could… PLEASE ADD FRACTIONS I do NOT want to keep converting, multiplying/dividing, then convert again. 😠
Thanks!! 🫠😚
In summary, please add fractions (maybe your rating will go up? 🤷🏻‍♀️)!!! And the tip thing like on Apple Watch 😁😁
