PCalc https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pcalc/id284666222

PCalc is a legendary application, started as a kind of "Hello World" non-trivial app on the Classic MacOS platform. Since those early days, there has been a PCalc release on every Apple device, using the native SDK.

Meanwhile, it has also gained some features. There are a few configurations to choose from, simple or scientific or RPN mode. You can edit the buttons.

It's a bit quirky, with a special mode for unit conversions, and a "tape" that shows the history of all the calculations, like a paper tape desktop calculator.

As a thing with buttons that helps you bang out a quick calculation, it doesn't suck.

I use a good PWA full screen calculator. Here’s 2. The first one will switch to a scientific Calc when you rotate the screen:

Calculator One comes to mind. Free, no ads, no tracking, no subscriptions…

I would recommend UnoCalc. It is a demo App for the capabilities of the Uno Framework and it is free.
