Another UX issue I've seen with the iPhone calculator:
My wife is a nurse and uses the iPhone calculator to calculate doses. She performed a calculation like
2.25
/
1.5
=
It did give the correct answer of 1.5. However, there was no animation or blanking out of the display to easily distinguish between the operand of 1.5 and the result of 1.5. She thought it was a bug and wasn't giving her an answer. I always thought it was a little scary that such a horribly designed calculator was being used by so many medical professionals.
- jonandersense 9y agoI just tested this and it does animate (a brief flash). This is on iOS 11, so maybe you have a different version?
- patwolf 9y agoyes, this was iOS 9 or 10
- j605 9y agoI am more scared of professionals using a phone calculator instead of a dumb calculator that should work all the time. I always carry around my scientific calculator not because my phone can't do it but because it is more reliable.
