Calcullo - Calculator Widget

It would be cooler if I could change the color of the background

The calculator looks good and functions well, but the widget is barely usable. Click too many times too fast and the calculator opens. This defeats the purpose of the widget and my main reason for buying it. This is a problem and needs fixed with an option to select different click intervals or something.

A lot of the calculator apps I have used in the past had the placement of the ‘0’ come before the ‘.’ and ‘+/-‘. When I am using this app, I find myself unconsciously pressing ‘+/-‘ when intending to press ‘0’. If customization is allowed on this app, this will make it an A+ app and appeal to more users. I suggest customizing so that the bottom buttons come in the following order: 0, . , +/- which is the order of frequent usage.

I love this caulculator… looks nice, and is not loaded with a bunch of scientific calculator features that I’ll never use. The widget feature, however, is the main reason I purchased it, but there’s a usability problem with it… if you tap a number multiple times in rapid succession in the widget, it opens the app. In other words, if you are trying to calculate 44x7, chances are when you hit that second 4, it’s going to open the app (unless you deliberately wait a half second or so between taps). Perhaps this is intended, but it makes the widget very frustrating to use. There have been several updates to the app since I originally posted this review, and I excitedly recheck the functionality each time, hoping it’s been fixed, but so far it hasn’t. I’m likely going to uninstall it, and I regret the purchase.

I downloaded this app off of an article that I was reading on Apple News+. I have deleted it and downloaded it. Several times the widget is blank. I cannot get it to work on my home screen please fix overall that seems like a really cool widget which is why I downloaded it in the first place and paid the $.99. Thank you.
