  • Excellent

    This app is a lifesaver. It’s free. And there are no ads! You can calculate much faster when speaking. A couple of requests (1) accept ‘equals’ as a voice command (2) include ability to convert from sq meters to square feet; right now, strangely area can only be computed in acres or hectares, which is not very useful or practical.
  • Awesome app

    I love being able to speak the equations; it saves me having to continually reenter due to typos!
  • Great for calculating grades

    This app is a lifesaver for teachers calculating long strings of weighted grades. Thank you.
  • Love it!

    Love being able to speak to the calculator. Makes it much easier to use than the native calculator.
  • Love this!

    I love the voice activated function of this calculator. There are so many other functions on this calculator that go way beyond my needs however I use this for everything including doing my taxes.
  • amazing tax prep time cut in half!!!

    All true. I did my entire tax prep with on my two errors that were caught by the app.
  • Powerful, with a nice tutorial (but tweaks would be nice)

    Does so many things, and voice recognition is a great feature. Even in just doing the tutorial, however, I have a wishlist of features. I wish that you could tap-scroll to correct what you have entered in keyboard entry mode. I got so frustrated while doing the last tutorial entry; I must have entered it 5 times before I could get it just right. In combo with this feature, it would be nice if you could click an entry in your history, have it become active again, and then tap-scroll through the entry to modify it. It would also be nice if I could switch between voice entry and keyboard entry without losing what has been entered. It is frustrating to dictate a large string, only to have a recognition error at the end, with my only editing option being to cancel the whole string. Lastly, there is a point in the tutorial where "calculation" is misspelled.
  • Great Voice calculator

    I have been searching for a calculator that lets you speak the numbers to help me do my bills monthly.
    This is a great app. However it does have some flaws that need fixing. It does not always get the answer 100% correct. So you have to be watchful. One example is to put in 19,493.49-2500 and it will give you the answer of 16,993.50 instead of 16,993.49 which it should be. So far I have only noticed it be off by pennies. I have not use this app for very long but noticed it did this same type of error in multiple scenarios today.
    As other reviewer's stated it would be very handy for it to recognize the word equals, so you don't have to stop to press the equal button and start over again by saying the amount you were working with.
  • I love this!!!

    The voice command is perfect. I use it everyday when adding up report numbers. I hope the "equal" command gets added soon.
  • Finally!

    I agree with a previous review that they need to make a voice command for "equals", but otherwise a fantastic app that I will use regularly. Once they get the "equals" voice command it will be perfect and I'll give it 5 stars.
