How to un-revamp the new Calculator?

[Sippincider]

When entering a series of calculations in the new Calculator, we're now treated with the below.

Is there a way to get rid of this, and have it (again) work like every other 10-key calculator by automatically showing the running sum/total instead of having to hit "=" each time??

Most likely no. Try download some other calculator if this one is inadequate for you would be my advice

 

[Sippincider]

Not so much inadequate, as very highly annoying. Also wonder about the thought and design process which determined this was necessary...

Good for App Store developers, but another "What the # Apple?".

In the past when Apple didn’t make macOS yet immutable, you could replace some applications with ones from previous versions. Now you cannot, because most of the apps that are considered as part of macOS are on sealed volume

Interesting... I didn't notice that yet as I haven't used Calculator on Sequoia extensively.

I understand that it's annoying if you prefer the "classic" way. However, there are probably quite a few people who approve this change.

For example, I actually prefer the new way (have been using this type of calculator on Android for years). Although not that this was ever critical to me.

Obviously, Apple implemented this quite poorly. The numbers should automatically wrap and form a new line when the calculation exceeds the calculator width.

If you do stay with Apple's calculator, at least make it Scientific to expand the calculation area.

Other than that, as others have already suggested, there are sure several 3rd-party calculators that are better designed and more customizable than what Apple offers.

Emulators for Hewlett-Packard RPN calculators are free downloadable and run nicely on macOS.

There have been a few calculator threads on here. I'm not happy with the new calculator either. I switched to PCalc ($10 on the app store); no regrets, the only downside may be that it is so customizable that I sort of had options overload when looking at the settings menu for the first time.

Mine just went to hell in the last few days, not sure why or how the updates work but the last one I was aware of was a couple of weeks ago, and it didn't affect my calculator til now.

It is worthless to me now and I use it every day. Most of the time I had the phone vertical as I was just doing basic math functions. But sometimes I need a memory so I flipped it and it was right there. Just tonight I flipped it and had to turn the "Scientific" function on. So I did with the 3 bars in the upper left corner where there were several options, and now it's on both views and I can't get rid of it. When I hit the 3 bars all it shows now is history.

So they've gone from using round wheels to inventing and forcing on me triangular wheels, apparently.

I just tried out the HP app mentioned above, it isn't much better. Any other ideas, or do I have to dig out my old calculator from the desk drawer that I haven't used in years. Assuming I didn't throw it out.
