Title: The iPad calculator we’ve always wanted is finally here–as a Google web app Post by: HCK on February 06, 2022, 04:05:12 pm The iPad calculator we’ve always wanted is finally here–as a Google web app
<div id="link_wrapped_content"> <body><section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section><p>Ever since the iPad launched in 2010, we’ve always been puzzled by the lack of a calculator. Every other staple iPhone app is there—Notes, Safari, Files, Mail, Messages, Stocks, even Clock—but if we want to add or multiply we need to turn to a third-party app.</p> <p>There are plenty of good ones in the App Store, but few have what we’re looking for: a simple interface that loads instantly and doesn’t have any unnecessary features. You know, like the iPhone app that should have been ported to the iPad a decade ago. Thankfully, Google has made an excellent calculator for ChromeOS that works any browser. You can find it at <a href="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=111346X1569486&url=https://calculator.apps.chrome&xcust=1-1-611958-1-0-0&sref=https://www.macworld.com/feed" rel="nofollow">https://calculator.apps.chrome[/url] and save it to your home screen by tapping the Share button. Or you can just bookmark it in Safari or Chrome.</p> <p>Granted this calculator is made by Google so it doesn’t have Apple’s design language, but it still looks good. And since it’s a progressive web app, it’s fully functional offline as long as it’s already loaded in the browser. So you can use it like you would a native app.</p> <p>Maybe Apple will finally release an iPad calculator app in iOS 16, but after 12 years, we’ve not holding our breath. Until then, Google’s is the next best thing.</p> </body></div> Source: The iPad calculator we’ve always wanted is finally here–as a Google web app (https://www.macworld.com/article/611958/google-calculator-ipad-browser.html) |
