Not good
You can’t (3-2*5+3) or put an x in there. As soon as you put(3-2 it turns to -6 and screws up order of operation. I wish I could give it a zero rating because one is to high. You would think a tech company as advanced as Apple could make a simple calculator on a phone. I guess that’s why people use Microsoft excel and not whatever Apple has that no one has ever heard of.
I do rate Apple a lot higher though but the calculator that comes on the phone is trash.SpartianWarrior
Ads affect functionality
The app 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 THE APP! 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.maintenance technician
It’s a calculator
The app does what you need it to do. It does math. Those of you complaining about a backspace button don’t realize you can just swipe on your typo calculation instead of starting completely over. 🤷🏼♂️ Only thing I would love to see is the app on iPad.Mikeyajonesy
Update!!
Developer of this application (apple) needs to make this app compatible with new iOS devices. I am no longer able to use and I have plenty on this app!!franky_can
Ads make this app unusable
I don’t have a problem with having ads on my calculator app. But this has gone too far. You can’t open the app 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 the app. That was fine. But whatever complete brain dead moron thought that unskippable video ads would be a good idea in a calculator should probably lose their job. This app is no longer functional.MikaylaRene01
Remarkably Poorly Executed Utility
Apple is generally pretty good at these sorts of utilities but the calculator app has been sub-standard for many years. The parenthesis are all but useless, as the app is extraordinarily hostile to any kind of diverse user input. It’s functionality is on-par with a cheap calculator from the 1980s. My expectation of a scientific calculator 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 calculator 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 calculator apps.andy58693827484
Useless❗️😡
Apparently, I thought this app would be useful for once, but it looks like calculator 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 calculator, 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 this app 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 this app, I would just like to say sorry because it turns out that this app 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 this app, well whoever wrote that stop worrying a lot because what could possibly happen on this calculator? It’s not like someone’s going to stock your child, everyone you need to let your kids use this app so they can study more, and whoever wrote that review y’all are stupidBrieTiana
Awful & outdated
If you hit one wrong number you have to start the entire problem over again. This is iOS. Not a 1990’s calculator. 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 calculator app. I don’t want a bunch of 3rd party apps who profit off my information and behavior.Hexadecimaul
Apparently iPad Users Don’t Need a Calculator
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 calculator 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.minorconundrum
Calculator
I have the IPhone 12 mini and when I got my phone it wasn’t there so I went to the App Store and I saw it and I opened it but it wasn’t on my phone screen. So every time I want to use the Calculator I have to go to the App Store and click opens G xjjrgjfxg
