FAQs 

Q1. What is the difference between this App and Interlocken's 'Adding Machine: 10 Key Calc' in the App. Store? 
A1. Both calculators are single-column adding devices. Both have iPad versions with full-size (1:1) keyboards. 'Accountant Calculator' supports the free chaining of +, -, x, /, %, √, 1/x and is easier to use if you are not familiar with how a '10-key' works, while 'Adding Machine: 10 Key Calc' uses inverted number/operator entry, the same as a 10 Key adding machine, commonly used by Accountants and CPA's. 

Q2. Can I touch-type? 
A2. Checkout the iPad version with its large (1:1) keypad and several aids for touch-typing. 

Q3. How can I quickly clear the paper tape? 
A3. Just double-tap the round 'i' (info) button to clear the paper tape. 

Q4. How can I edit an incorrect number or add & delete lines from the paper tape? 
A4. Touch any line of the paper tape to go into edit mode. Touch Add or Delete Line. You can also edit numbers, and split Add/Sub or Mul/Div groups. Press Done to return to Calculator mode 

Q5. Tell me about Email, Printing, and Exporting a Paper Tape. 
A5. From the Export dialog, select from: Email, Print, Copy or Open-In. Email includes a pdf attachment. Print requires an AirPrint capable printer. Open-In will cause a menu of 3rd party Apps to appear that can receive a hardcopy of your paper tape; for example, iBooks, DropBox, and 3rd party printer Apps for Brother, HP, Epson, Canon and more. With these print directly to a network reachable printer (even if it is NOT AirPrint capable).

### 4/5 — Accountant Calculator App.

*2024-01-31*

Easy to grasp functions, clear & intuitive progress. Handier than “plain” calculator.

### 5/5 — App is crashing

*2024-01-05*

I’ll still give it five stars, but Accountant Calculator and its sibling Accountant Calc Pro are both crashing on launch.   Hopefully help is on the way.

### 5/5 — Bookkeeping

*2022-01-01, version 8.20a*

I’m pleased that the app works like a financial calculator. Not as good as a financial calculator that you can buy, but it helps me a lot with my bank account and any bookkeeping that’s necessary in my daily life.

### 3/5 — Non-intuitive..

*2020-12-08, version 8.20a*

The tool icons aren’t clear as to purpose in most cases... one thing that escapes me: editing titles on tape entries and keeping the format intact... empty lines show up for some unknown reason when trying to start another line... takes too long to learn, for me anyway!

### 5/5 — Great calculator

*2020-09-15, version 8.20a*

I’m an accountant and need a calculator I can carry with me. I like the paper tape so I can look back at my entries. This calculator meets my needs.

### 5/5 — Accountant

*2020-05-01, version 8.20a*

Love the ap.  Easy to use !  Where have you been! Great ap

### 5/5 — Diana

*2019-10-02, version 8.20a*

Love this calculator!

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2019-05-04, version 8.20a*

Just like using a adding machine tape to see each calc step. Can delete / add step caption too. Very good.

### 5/5 — Time to pay for GREAT support

*2019-04-12, version 8.20a*

I have bern using free version and love it. After all of Richards work to be compatible with iOS 11 & 12 it was only fair to buy to support him. Great app. Keep it up.

### 4/5 — Calculator

*2018-11-16, version 7.6a*

It’s one of the best
