*2023-01-16, version 7.6aPad*

Works for simple calculations

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-08-19, version 7.6aPad*

Having a  good calculator to use for taxes, bills, just adding up expenses is a necessity in my home. This one is just great. Thanks

### 5/5 — My go to calculator

*2022-06-09, version 7.6aPad*

I am not a bookkeeper but I do keep household books and books for my business. This is the calculator I use. The tape feature is great for back checking your work. It’s intuitive and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Sale Tax

*2021-07-20, version 7.6aPad*

Can the sales tax be changed and saved…. Not sure how

### 5/5 — The tape is everything !

*2021-01-31, version 7.6aPad*

The absolute most useful calculator.  The tape is exactly what makes perfect.  Everyone should have this

### 5/5 — Absolutely the best... look no further. Deleted all the others.

*2020-04-01, version 7.6aPad*

No need to evaluate any further.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-03-12, version 7.6aPad*

I love having the tape when it comes to balancing my check book. Also planing my budget for the month. It’s so helpful. I don’t use any other app and gave my adding machine to my grandchildren to play with.

### 5/5 — Time saver

*2020-01-01, version 7.6aPad*

Having a printing calculator for taxes is a huge time saver. I appreciate the version that’s more intuitive than the standard 10 button version. 
2 quibbles: you can’t rename a tape without deleting it and starting again (as far as I can tell), and you can’t type 2 capital letters in a row even though the shift key is still highlighted. If I type PA it always comes back Pa. Slightly annoying.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2019-10-23, version 7.6aPad*

I have been pretty happy with this app.

### 5/5 — Best calculator ever

*2019-07-01, version 7.6aPad*

I love this calculator so much I love the extras on it too I bought this calculator and I use it all of the time
