### 5/5 — My printer calculator is mad at me

*2022-10-28, version 8.20au*

Ever since I got this app on my iPad I haven’t had to use my printer calculator.  Great app and I haven’t had the need to but paper rolls.  I love the fact that I can change it from printer calculator like action or function like a normal calculator.  Wonder app that helps simulate a printer calculator without the paper waist, noise, travel weight or bulk.  PLUS I’m able to put it on my iPhone as well for a smaller version.  Worth the money for all the features you get.

### 3/5 — Tape function makes this the best calculator

*2016-05-19, version 7.6au*

Very reusable or editable list for fixing calculation errors. More convenient than Excel because I don't need to carry a computer or physical tape with me. It is every bit as accurate. As Excel.  Of my 600 AppStore reviews this is the best of my elite and highly useful apps. 
Developer: Best of luck to you. Keep continuing to fill real needs and you will become very rich very soonest 

You have a true winner. Good work.

Great options for an accounting calculator.  Now only if it had date calculations as well.

*2014-10-01, version 6.3au*

Entre las muchas apps que he explorado, esta es la mejor para cálculos contables y cuentas de oficina. La uso a diario. La recomiendo ampliamente. Sugiero hacer un poco más claro y simple el manejo de archivos, así como las correcciones y eliminaciones de líneas o renglones ya intrducidos.
