Reviews of PCalc Lite

Leave a Review PCalc Lite
  • Literally bought for the widget and they took it away

    Used for years. Even tipped a few times. Imagine my surprise when I updated the phone today and the one thing I bought it for no longer existed. Edit: Apparently that’s and iOS 18 issue as they took away legacy widgets. Developer responded and told me they haven’t updated to the new style widgets because of typing lag using them. Having downloaded another highly rated calculator that uses the new style widgets, I can see what they are talking about. It’s not a great experience.

    Developer Response

    Yes, Apple removed all the old style widgets in iOS 18. We tried last year to build a new style widget, and it didn't work well enough for a properly interactive widget. It was quite slow to enter numbers, and if you typed too fast, the system would open up the main app because of bugs in the widget support. It's still something we would like to do, but it's not going to be anywhere as good as the existing widget. We will do what we can!
  • Ugh, Censored

    What trash. I need this thing to work, in every orientation. I have used it for years, but while charging my iPad just now, which I was using upside down, I entered one of the many figures I was calculating and bam, censored! Well, guess what idiots, your basic idea is flawed anyway. The screen wasn’t upside down. And even it was, you could always lay it on a table and walk around to the other side. Fools. Delete.

    Update:
    Thanks for admitting this is a joke app.

    Developer Response

    Congratulations on stumbling across the Censorship Easter Egg! It's a small joke which we included in 2009 and has been in the app ever since. If you are interested in the details you can find them in our blog https://tla.systems/blog/2009/09/.
