Calculator on iPad for Control Center

Please, please consider looking at the issue of adding Apple’s Calculator available to the iPad! It is a VITAL tool especially for the iPad and usage within the Control Center. I have spent half of my day with very knowledgeable and friendly Apple Advisors, one by one, leading me up through the process of adding Calculator only to find out that it does NOT work for the iPad, but only for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I feel badly for the Advisors as they are truly trying to help but this is an IPAD issue that needs to be brought up for re-evaluation!

The Spotlight Search is NOT as efficient for the calculator, it just isn’t. It’s much faster being able to bring up the control center and push the buttons for your calculative needs.

Why do you need spotlight search for a calculator? Just download any one of the countless dozens of iPad calculators in the App Store and park it on the first page of your apps or in the home screen dock. Get one with a widget and you’ll have it there too.

I can understand wanting it in control center as on the iPhone, but it’s hardly necessary to have that in order to have a calculator readily and easily available at any time on an iPad.

Thanks for the reply. However, I am hoping that Apple wants to make their calculator available for iPad internally thus making it more useful and efficient from the control center. Thanks for your info though.
