Is there a way to revert just the Calculator App back to the iOS 17 version?

I hate the new calculator. I can no longer add a % to a number and see what that additional amount is. I need to then minus the new total from the existing. SO ANNOYING APPLE!!!!!

Ugh…. I HATE this new calculator version!! Should have known better than to do an update.

what good is a basic calculator if it doesn’t show running totals or what the percentage about to be added/subtracted is?

apple do some pretty dumb things from time to time and this is certainly up there!

Please. How do I get my calculator back to normal?!

Any update on this? The new calculator is demonstrably worse; I don’t understand what possessed someone who was in charge of anything to convert the perfectly fine calculator app into this frankenstein monstrosity that has less normal functionality in exchange for weird “look at me I’m different :B look how speshul I am” functions that hardly anyone wants.

I just want the normal quick function calculator back; please roll it back to the previous version or make an alternate version on the app store that we can download instead.

Same for MacOS Sequoia! Whoever designed the new Calculator app clearly did not understand BODMAS:

Brackets

Orders

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Subtraction

So that you could use rely upon BODMAS to get running totals. All gone.

Gone also are recent conversions which I used to use all the time.

I find the new Calculator an absolute pain.

I agree with the others. I don’t like the new updated calculator. Needs to go back to previous calculator before update.

No, it is not a question of 'change is hard'. It is a question of utility and usefulness. To get running totals now, one has to enter '=' all the time during a lengthy calculation while before one could rely upon BODMAS to display the running totals and manipulate the calculation accordingly. Do I really want 200 numbers that don't fit on the calculator screen as one long entry only to find one of the operators was incorrect????

What about recent conversions. I used to use this all the time. Now it is an absolute pain and a many-stage process to do one of my common conversions. Why can't I easily access GBP/USD and metres to inches without a several stage process??????

This calculator app is a terrible retrograde step clearly designed by a non-user of the app.

Apple has made some great decisions over the 40 years I have been using Apple products. They have also made some terrible ones and this one of them.

Unfortunately when you go via the product feedback, apple don't allow you to complain about the Calculator app! Almost like they know hahah

I did double maths A-level and have two degrees in computer science.

Both the previous and current versions of the Calculator app operate correctly but the previous version was far simpler to use and far faster to use than the new one. The new app adds no new functionality only complexity.

The new Calculator app is a terrible retrograde step.

> Whoever designed the new Calculator app clearly did not understand BODMAS:

Clearly you do not understand either BODMAS (or PEDMAS for those that know it by that name), or the way calculator.app works.

BODMAS works just fine in Calculator.app. In fact, you can write out the whole calculation much easier than in the old version, and Calculator gets it right based on the rules:



I get it, change is hard, and someone's going to complain no matter what you do (have you seen how many complaints there were about the old basic calculator?).

No, there is not. You can always find a 3rd party app that works like you want.

Ever hear the phrase "if it ain't broke don't fix it".....I' been using this BASIC calculator for many decades and now some "Genius" has made it almost useless to me .......it takes much more effort and causes many mistakes just to do simple math.......whoever in your company thought this was a good idea should be fired.....seriously! I now carry another calculator in my pocket......I'm not giving Apple 5 stars anymore!

Living in the past often disappoints no matter how safe it feels. Worst downgrade since AppleWorks? Really? Now thats living in the past.

Okay, you have your opinion and that’s fine. Raging here will do nothing and this thread is not exactly setting the internet on fire and starting protest marches is it?

You have a few options here...

1. Stop using the included calculator app and find some other app that suits your needs.
2. Submit feedback in the hope something will change.
3. Continue using the included app and learn to live with it.

Is there another option you can think of other than continuing to be enraged?
