Plus, your MacBook Air comes with a calculator.

Yeah this one actually pisses me off about the iPad. The Mac calculator in RPN mode is my goto but on iOS, nope!
I use this free and good RPN calculator app:

It’s $5 in the U. S. store. I bought it anyway despite having been happy with i41CX:

Oh, my bad. Though I'm pretty sure it was free when I got it way back?! Kind of irritating that you can no longer see the the price of an app you have installed.
Yeah I've got that one (and a real 42s) :)
For offpad I have the DM42 from SwissMicros. It has a 4 line display like the 42s app.
Been trying not to buy one of them for ages now :)
FYI: You can do simple calculations in the Spotlight-like search prompt of the iPad.
This continues to baffle me. Apple's usually so good at the extra first party software, and they already have an iOS calculator on iPhones. WTF.

I get that they don't do it for polish reasons or whatever, but just letting the iPhone version run on the iPad would be a huge improvement.
