The new calculator app in Sequoia (I have v15.1) is too small and cannot be resized. In fact, I'd say it is COMICALLY too small; it's minuscule! It's like someone decided to virtualize a calculator watch!
Some of us would like a calculator that's bigger than a kumquat, even with display scaling set to a reasonable, "I am not blind and in need of 2 inch font" level. Please enable resizing.

This is a user-to-user forum. So no one participating here can do that. Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. However, you can let them know your thoughts here:
Meanwhile, many people recommend PCalc. It's not free but is apparently excellent.

"COMICALLY"?

Well, I posted the screen shot to show the relative sizes between the old calculator and the new. What you view it on doesn't change the relative sizes.
In any case, here's a screen shot on an M1 MacBook Air @ 1680 x 1050. Which btw, I normally use the default.
You actually posted your question to me, not the OP. But that's fine.
Not a problem. :)
Are you looking at it on a small high res monitor at max resolution by any chance? Mine is a perfect size on 16" Mac Book Pro, smaller on 4K 27" at 3840 x 2160 and a bit too small on a 16" 1600 x 1000 display.
Yes I saw. I thought you were making the point that the new one's just a little smaller than the old, as opposed to 'comically' small.
Of course screen res / physical size does not change the relative size, but it certainly changes the absolute, and can easily cross a threshold of acceptability on a smaller /higher res monitor - hence my question to OP :-)

FWIW, it appears not to work on my M3 iMac. Calculator 10.6 from Monterey.
just to add, I get a 'The application "Calculator" can't be opened' dialog window.
I accidentally replied to you under dialabrain's screen grab, so I don't know if you get alerted. I wouldn't want a kumquat-sized calculator either, but mine's a decent size. Take a look - may be relevant to you.

That's not how notifications work in this forum. You can select to be notified if there is activity in a thread in which you've participated or one that you're following or both. So, it doesn't matter who gets replied to. Note that there have been some issues with notifications lately.

Fix for Calculator Paper Tape missing in Sequoia...
I did? Sorry, don't how I managed that - your response hadn't even appeared on my feed when I originally answered. You must've wondered why on earth I was asking you that! Apologies for confusion.
Sequoia Calculator is TOO SMALL
