Previously when using the Calculator on iOS, I could perform minus and
plus calculations without using the = button.  A [running total] would
display after each +/- use.

Now I must use the = button after every calculation to see the [running
total].  It's hard to keep a checkbook register correct if you can't
see the running total.  Hitting the = button after every number is
cumbersome when you're running through several pages.  The calculators
on my desktop computer and on the internet work as expected.

This new calculator really sucks and is unusable! Where is the C (clear)
button?

Notice the <backspace> symbol.

That's the clear key. True you have to hit backspace as many times as
you typed characters.

 What you describe with the link is not the issue I’m having. I upgraded to
18.3 last night and the behavior continues. And there is still no C button.
This calculator is completely useless to me now. Hopefully I can find a
normal one on App Store.
 

Wow. You can't even follow a reply.
Where did put the text regarding the bug?
Do you think it applied to what said about the clear key?
