The Apple Creator Studio subscription has ruined once great and kid friendly iPad apps like Keynote and Pages. Half the buttons prompt you to upgrade, the subscription and premium AI features are pushed HARD.

Kandili App - App Store

Some updates to my PCalc scientific calculator!

Consider this the "new features that should have shipped last year" release. Includes some frequently requested things like woodworking fractions, support for the Indian numbering system for separators, and three new conversion categories, "Flow Rate", "Jewelry", and "Typography".

I've also tried to unify a lot of features that were only on iOS, or only on the Mac.
