### 1/5 — Why did they change the format?

*2026-06-16*

Have had this app for years, loved it. It is not the same at all.  Going to have to delete.

### 1/5 — Big digits. NOT!

*2026-05-16*

Why did you destroy my calculator app that I paid for by replacing it with something that is totally worthless?

### 1/5 — Big Digits Disappear

*2026-05-05*

Completely baffling that an app morphs into garbage, and that the developer is both useless and clueless.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-05-02*

There was nothing wrong with the old layout. At least that one worked!!!

### 1/5 — They totally RUINED this app!

*2026-05-02*

I got this app several years ago because I have a vision impairment, and need… well, BIG DIGITS. It used to be perfect - big easy to read buttons, big numbers in the calculation window. 

Now the buttons have small spindly numbers, and there are small numbers on the tape. This app is now completely worthless to me. 

The name should be changed. There are no more big digits.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-05-01*

The original version was perfect! Change for change sake is stupid

### 1/5 — What happened to the big digits

*2026-04-30*

What happened to the big digits

### 1/5 — Revised Layout

*2026-04-30*

Sucks.

### 1/5 — Goodbye!!

*2026-04-29*

WHY did you make such dramatic, awful, “updates”??!!?? This is no long anything close to the original BASIC calculator I’ve been using for the past decade!!! ByeBye

### 1/5 — Cher pour rien !

*2017-07-17*

Sur IPhone : INUTILE, il y en a bien d'autres, bien mieux, gratuites !
Sur APPLE Watch : iNUTILE : additionne et soustrait uniquement : PAS DE DIVISION ni MULTIPLICATION. Du vol !

### 3/5 — Nizou

*2026-05-13*

Where is your simple original calculator which was so handy for basics? Please bring it back!

### 3/5 — Please add Apple Split View

*2023-01-15*

The app is great as a basic calendar.  In iPAD a big downside with this calculator is not being able to use Split View.  This would make this app 5 stars. Also love the supporting app for working out shaft bills and tips in a restaurant.

### 2/5 — Big Digits now MINUSCULE Digits

*2026-05-03*

I deleted the calculator on my phone years ago and loved this app instead.  I can’t find any options to go back to a normal calculator.  Whats happening here?

### 2/5 — Where’s the BIG DIGITS???

*2026-04-29*

What happened to the Big Digits?  The numbers are now smaller than the calculator that came on the phone. How can I get the original app, with large numbers, back?
