I find it handy to have a calculator on my phone, but the way I have to launch it is anything but handy. It is not on my home screen (or any that come if I swipe to the side) nor on the set of screens I get from swiping up and then to the side. It is not in any of the little "clumps" of apps labelled Samsung, Google, etc.
If I swipe up and use the search, I get one result but it's not the app it's the app info. Nevertheless, if I go to the app info down at the bottom there is an Open button and I can thus launch it and use it. I have tried long pressing on the app when it's running, on this app info screen, and just about everywhere else in the hope of finding a Pin To Home option, but no. I also found it in the store but that didn't help.
What am I missing? How can I have a calculator I can launch with like one swipe and a click, no typing?
