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&rsquo;ve always been puzzled by the lack of a calculator. Every other staple iPhone app is there&mdash;Notes, Safari, Files, Mail, Messages, Stocks, even Clock&mdash;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&rsquo;re looking for: a simple interface that loads instantly and doesn&rsquo;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&amp;url=https://calculator.apps.chrome&amp;xcust=1-1-611958-1-0-0&amp;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&rsquo;t have Apple&rsquo;s design language, but it still looks good. And since it&rsquo;s a progressive web app, it&rsquo;s fully functional offline as long as it&rsquo;s already loaded in the browser.&nbsp;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&rsquo;ve not holding our breath. Until then, Google&rsquo;s is the next best thing.</p>
