Please have an interactive widget calc that would be fire ### 3/5 — Eher ein Scherzrechner (42) hat aber sei Jahren keine % Taste *2025-12-06* Ich verstehe nicht, wie man einen derart ausbaufähigen Taschenrechner anbieten kann mit unzähligen Funktionrn, Layoutmöglichkeiten usw. Jedoch wird keine %-Taste abgebildet. Sorry Bro, das disqualifiziert diesen Rechner für mich. Absolut unverständlich, das so grundlegende Dinge fehlen. Wer’s denn unbedingt braucht, muss die Taste selber definieren bzw. eine andere ersetzen und die Funktion selber hinterlegen. Ich bin kein (Mathe-) Nerd. Und habe auch keine Zeit darin umständlich rumzufummeln. Ich fordere den Macher auf, diese grundlegende Funktion nach Jahrzehnten ENDLICH NACHZULIEFERN. Einfach unfassbar. ### 3/5 — Editing button layout *2025-09-19, version 3.14.1* Please allow us to use an icon either an image or an SF Symbol on a button pleaseeeee ### 4/5 — 希望可以更新符合ios18，恢復到之前加入小工具的時候 *2025-05-27, version 3.13.1* 如題 ### 3/5 — Kein Widget mehr *2025-04-13* Das Widget hat den Unterschied gemacht - leider ist es seit einigen Wochen (oder Monaten?) nicht mehr zu finden und daher hat die App für mich deutlich an Gebrauchswert verloren. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2025-02-14, version 3.13.1* I got this to replace the recently butchered Apple calculator. I’d been adding figures and copying and pasting totals into a running list for years, when suddenly the Apple calculator would only paste a seven digit number in scientific notation. Useless, in my world. So I got this app, but it had no commas between the thousands. I dug deeper and discovered a 99 cent “Power Pack” that purported to add thousand separators to the system. So I bought it. Well, it adds them to the calculator display, but if you copy and paste a total, they’re not there. So I’m out a buck and still have to futz with my totals to keep my years-long list consistent. Frustrating. ### 4/5 — I want to use the widget *2025-02-11* Hello. After updating my iOS, the widget is no longer working. If I can get it to work again after purchasing an add-in, please let me know which add-in I should buy. ### 2/5 — Now they want tips! *2025-02-02, version 3.13.1* Paid for the conversion pack, but it’s nowhere to be found. $1.06 wasted. I’ll be surprised if they respond. ### 4/5 — second best but *2025-01-04, version 3.13.1* Until 2024 a decent substitute for the Apple calculator but a bit redundant now that’s released for iPad ### 4/5 — No widget *2024-12-08, version 3.13.1* No widget ios 18.1.1 ### 4/5 — Great but needs widget - slow or not *2024-12-01, version 3.13.1* I’ve used this app for years, largely for the widget. I understand that the iOS 18 widgets are extremely slow, however I would appreciate even a slow PCalc Lite widget over any other calculator app. Love, a loyal user ### 5/5 — Widget? *2024-10-31, version 3.13.1* I’m giving you five stars easy. This is a great calculator. Only thing I miss is that after updating to iOS 18 I can’t use your widget on the widget screen any more. It was my No 1 widget and the way I always went to the calculator for simple stuff. That’s for a great app. Maybe a widget in the near future? ### 4/5 — Not working *2024-09-29* Kindly update, widget is not working on iOS 18 **Developer response:** 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! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Widget STILL doesn't work on iOS 26 *2025-10-08* Just noticed that the Dev has replied to my previous review. Thanks Apple for not sending me a notification! I’ve noticed the same issue with many other calculator widgets in that the numbers need to be typed really slow, else a number or two could be skipped. It’s really annoying! I’d happily make a one time payment if I can just get a working widget like it was before. ———————————————— The widget worked perfectly until the iOS 18 update. Now it wouldn't come up to choose in the widgets section. Without the widget, I have no use for this app as the native iPhone calculator app works just fine. Hope the developers will update it for iOS 18. **Developer response:** Yes, Apple removed all the old style widgets in iOS 18.

Per il resto nessuna novità e/o differenza rispetto a prima. ### 1/5 — I hate the orange calculator *2025-06-07, version 3.13.1* Change the calculator to be blue just like original, but don’t change the icon to blue ### 1/5 — Used to be the best available, not anymore *2025-01-26, version 3.13.1* This calculator widget used to be perfect and super convenient. I used it everyday but they never updated it and now it’s gone altogether. Every option available now is super slow and lagged to the point of being unusable. Maybe that’s apple’s fault or maybe not but either way the app is no use to me now. ### 1/5 — Widget weg *2024-10-27* Leider gibts kein Widget mehr **Developer response:** Apple removed all the old style widgets in iOS 18.

But for those who appreciate the power, simplicity and elegance of Reverse Polish, there is better value or more satisfactory solution. ### 5/5 — Widget missing *2025-02-24, version 3.13.1* I liked this app, but after switching to the 16 Pro Max, I noticed no more widgets. Can you bring them back? ### 5/5 — СЛАВА 42 *2025-02-19, version 3.13.1* Слава Богу 42🙏❤️СЛАВА 42🙏❤️АНГЕЛА ХРАНИТЕЛЯ 42 КАЖДОМУ ИЗ ВАС🙏❤️БОЖЕ ХРАНИ 42🙏❤️СПАСИБО ВАМ НАШИ БРАТУХИ🙏🏼❤️ХРАНИ БОсса💯Слава Богу 42🙏❤️СЛАВА 42🙏❤️АНГЕЛА ХРАНИТЕЛЯ 42 ### 5/5 — Great app but.. *2024-12-23, version 3.13.1* It was great when I had widget. Now with new iOS update the widget is gone. It was faster than using the iOS calculator in the short cut. Just slide over and you had a calculator. Now the best part of the app is gone.
