This is the best I have used. ### 5/5 — Best calculator program I’ve used so far. *2018-08-02, version 7.6aPad* Has ability to save all my calculations.

The running tape is great for rechecking your numbers! ### 5/5 — Top rate *2018-06-09, version 7.6aPad* Having tried so many calculators over the years, I can say with seasoned confidence this is the best of the lot. Intelligent design, fast and efficient. Totally satisfied customer here. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-05-06, version 7.6aPad* It’s very useful! I like saving tapes❤️ I don’t need a print out! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love it *2018-01-11, version 7.6aPad* I needed a calculator with the ability to print a paper copy of the tape. This one has that. It is very much like any calculator I have ever used. I would recommend this app to anyone. ### 5/5 — Best! *2017-12-11, version 7.6aPad* This is my go to app for my business. Always performs great! ### 5/5 — Great App. Easy to use! *2016-03-02, version 7.2aPad* I've been using this app for two weeks now. I love it. Simple to use but loaded with features. The link to their online manual is easy to access from the app. The price is very reasonable for all you get. Recommend. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2015-11-01, version 7.2aPad* I've been using this app on my iPads for several years and find it to be one of the most utilitarian apps of all. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to run a tape. Easy to use and never seems to experiences any glitches. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-07-29, version 7.2aPad* I love this app. On my iPad the numbers are just as big as my actual adding machine. If I turn up the volume I can run through a column of numbers just as fast and have the ability to save the "paper tape" for later or email it to someone. Definitely worth the money. ### 5/5 — I Pad calculator *2014-11-11, version 6.3aPad* this is an excellent device. it is more than a calculator. it is more like a personal accountant. I use it to keep a monthly account of my retirement income. I gives me peace of mind. It rates 5 stars. ### 5/5 — The best app *2014-07-12, version 6.3aPad* This is by far the best calculator app I have ever used. Great features , very nice job to the builder. Thanks. Please build more apps, ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-05-03, version 6.3aPad* I use this everyday. My favorite features are that you can label the lines and then save the tape for future reference. If you're looking for a calculator I suggest considering this one. I think you will be very happy. ### 5/5 — Sweet! *2013-08-15, version 5.7aPad* I love this app. It is my go to calculator. Simple and easy to use. I have a few other calculator apps that are 5 Star quality. But over time I have always selected this app over the others. Great job designers and developers. You have put together a great product! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Very pleased with this. *2013-07-18, version 5.7aPad* This is a great, multi-featured calculator that I use daily. I love the pleasing color themes, and it has many great features. I confidently recommend this calculator to anyone who is looking for a great calculator!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 3/5 — Not bad... Good be great with a few improvements *2011-10-27, version 4.2APad* First off... It does not function like an adding machine. It functions like a calculator. If you don't know the difference then it probably doesn't matter much to you. That said, a brief explanation.... A calculator adds and subtracts non-defined numbers, meaning not positive or negative. An adding machine does exactly that... It adds, meaning it is always adding numbers, it never really subtracts. The key difference is that it adds numbers that are "defined" as either positive or negative. For instance 2 + 2 = 4 (adding two positive) or 4 + -2 = 2. It's all what type of logic you're applying. Would be great if they had a feature to choose between an adding machine's logic and a calculator. Last suggestion is to make a easily accessible "clear tape" button without having to a menu system to get to it. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2016-06-29, version 7.6aPad* I miss having a paper tape to check entries for mistakes. This app solves that. I wish it had simple directions on how to use it. The onscreen help is great but not enough. ### 4/5 — Excellent, but... *2015-04-20, version 7.2aPad* The calculator has the same benefits as its desktop predecessor but, there should be a quicker, easier way to start a new tape. That's the only bad thing i have to say. Outside of that, i prefer to most other calculators I've tried. ### 4/5 — Near Perfect *2014-02-03, version 6.2aPad* I'm not a Bookeeper or an Accountant but for the work I do as a Financial Secretary I have found this app to be easy to use and a real timesaver. The only negative is having to make multiple steps to get the tape to go to my printer and print out. ### 4/5 — nice features *2013-12-06, version 5.8aPad* takes a bit of time to learn but it is the best I've found ### 4/5 — Nice app, and works with VoiceOver *2013-07-07, version 5.7aPad* This is a user friendly accounting app, and it works well with VoiceOver. I'm an accounting student and I happen to be legally blind. I use this app a lot for accounting homework. Unlike my talking calculator, I can check each step of my work on the tape feature. Nice layout. The app works well. ### 4/5 — Very solid app *2012-09-07, version 4.6aPad* It works. It works great. For those of us old enough to recall it works much like an old 10 key. ### 4/5 — The best *2011-10-18, version 3.44APad* I am building contractor and for pricing material adding tax and markups this is it. Being able to add notes to each line easy to read For twenty 28 years I been looking for a calculator Like this I hope it expands to figuring time and measurements. Would be nice to have a default tax button and markup button Be nice to have a windows version too Thanks for developing this software ### 4/5 — Accountant for iPad *2011-03-11, version 1.5APad* Works really well, Does what I need it to do. Only drawback is I have to watch the "keypad" because I cannot feel it. If you can figure out how to make a touch screen have a pad feel that would be a real breakthrough! ### 5/5 — Nice Calc *2023-01-16, version 7.6aPad* Works for simple calculations ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
