After years of anticipation, Apple has finally introduced a dedicated Calculator app with iPadOS 18, responding to user requests. The new app shares the same design as the Calculator app on iPhones but includes new features tailored for the iPad’s larger screen.
The app’s UI has been expanded to display numbers and functions on the same page, making it more convenient to use. Additionally, it allows you to view the history of your calculations and perform conversions, eliminating the need for manual calculations between different measurement systems.
However, the real magic happens when you use the Calculator app with an Apple Pencil. This unlocks the new Math Notes feature.
With Math Notes, you can handwrite your math problems and expressions, followed by an equal sign, and the app will calculate the answers for you. The results will appear in your handwriting, and you can save these notes for future reference.
It’s hard to believe I’m this excited about a Calculator app, but having a first-party solution on iPads is such a relief. I’m sure many other iPad users share my excitement.
What are your thoughts on this new Calculator app in iPadOS? What other features do you like in iPadOS 18 and iOS 18? Let us know in the comments.
