### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-10-15, version 6.14k*

Would Highly Recommend!!!!

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2018-08-19*

I use it daily in my business. Grew up with adding machines. Can’t stand calculators when figuring expenses , job costs etc. allows you to save your work and print it.

### 5/5 — great adding machine

*2018-07-18, version 6.14k*

love how this gas line displays and is very in depth. will take some learning to really be good at it! i keep learning new features and it's awesome!

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2018-06-16*

I use this app for business where I used to use a big bulk adding machine.   This one fits in my pocket and I don’t have to buy paper tape.
I recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Good app.

*2018-04-15, version 6.14k*

Works as described.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-02-14*

I work as a restaurant manager constantly having to count register drawers and balance them maybe three times a day, also safe end of shift counting etc. Our adding machine it’s always in the office way in the back and it’s huge! No way to bring it to the front so many times so this app it’s a life saver for my day and stress levels. I’m not even going to compare it to the phone calculator. It is simply beautiful and everything I need. I very gladly paid for this after trying the free version. You won’t regret it.  Thank you so much. The best.

### 5/5 — Good design and extra features

*2017-08-26*

I liked the free version so much (see my review there) that I bought the paid version as a thank-you to the developer for doing such a great job of design and support.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-07-10, version 5.6k*

Occasionally work from home and this is the best adding Machine app.  Can't work without it.

### 5/5 — Good calculator.

*2017-03-05, version 5.6k*

Really helps with checking accuracy when entering numbers on a flat screen. Works well.

### 5/5 — The best calc app

*2016-03-03, version 5.6k*

Simplemente la mejor calculadora. Thanks.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Begs for reviews, won’t quit

*2018-07-27*

Every time you open the app, it begs for a review. The begging for reviews is obnoxious enough, but is made worse by the “Don’t Ask Again” option not working. 

Clearing the tape is always a guessing exercise. There’s an “I” button you use to erase the tape. But sometimes it brings up a menu instead that allows you to erase the tape. Or sometimes it does nothing at all. It’s like I’m a monkey randomly poking at buttons until it does what I want. 

Would have been a 3 Star review, but the incessant review requests dropped it.

**Developer response:** Version 6.20 has just been released that fixes the ‘please rate this app’ errata. Thank you for pointing this out!

### 2/5 — Stop Asking To Rate It!!!!

*2018-06-10, version 6.14k*

The 10 key works fine but every time I open the app it asks me to rate it even though I hit “Don’t Ask Again.” This is very annoying, fix the bugs. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Improvements needed before 5 stars

*2024-07-20, version 7.10k*

I bought the premium edition with ability to export PDF files. The program watermarks their own name at the bottom of the page which is selfish promotion on their part. I don't want their name on my work when I've paid for this application. The controls to edit export etc. are all there I just find them haphazardly laid out.

### 4/5 — So useful

*2023-08-17, version 6.20k*

I love this app for complicated and long money columns. No more losing your place or accidental deleting like a calculator. There are a few buggish things that you can finally work around but I couldn’t have done my book keeping without it.

### 4/5 — Good in a grocery keeping a list

*2021-11-25*

I needed to keep track of my purchases for a discount of X dollars off in a grocery store. I found this app and  gave the free version a try.  It worked well  with minimal training until I hit the max lines in the free version, so I jotted down the total and started a new list.  My one complaint about the free version is turning off the click sound is touchy.  One has to be FAST to hit the off switch before the banner appears, but I got it on the 3rd try.  I figure @ $3 getting the update is worth the investment.  I have yet to really give it a real test to see what all it can do.  The only reason for not 5 stars is I do not know it well enough to give it maximum stars, but I doubt if anyone using it will be dissappinted.  The look and feel of the app is very well thought out.

### 4/5 — Nice needs a little tweaking though

*2021-03-24*

Nice app has a small glitch that prevents you from adjusting the keypad down too the lowest setting though. When you close it out and try Re-opening it again it shows a gap between the minus and plus key.

### 4/5 — It works!

*2018-11-03*

Works great. Minus one star for nagging me to review ALL the time. Frustrated by constant asking for reviews, so here I am writing a review. Apparently the “Don’t ask me again” button does not work.

**Developer response:** Version 6.20 has just been released that fixes the ‘please rate this app’ errata. Thank you for pointing this out!

### 4/5 — Lost one star because...

*2018-05-22*

It's a good enough app but when you open it up it asks if you want to write a review. One of the options is "don't ask again". I've chosen that option (several times) and it continues to ask me if I want to write a review every time I open the app. Why give you that option if it is going to ignore it when you choose it?

**Developer response:** Version 6.20 has just been released that fixes the ‘please rate this app’ errata. Thank you for pointing this out!

### 4/5 — I like it, but needs more refinements

*2017-06-02*

After using 10 key for a day & 1/2 pretty intensely,  I'm growing to like it a lot. I'm not ready to throw out my desktop adding machine out but 10 key delivers when I'm caught away from my office. 

A couple tweaks are needed:  preferences for number format. Key-in defaults to a comma every 3 digits from the decimal point, but the output has no commas, and nowhere to change either formats as a default. The user needs more control over these things.

### 4/5 — Getting better

*2017-02-16*

Took a little time to figure out how use  I am starting to like the app more and more.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great adding machine

*2024-03-12*

I would like to see the feature where I could eliminate the tape and have a bigger “total” screen

### 5/5 — Great Calculator

*2023-06-03*

The calculations are so easy to follow as you work through a list. The ability to produce and store the calculations makes it so much easier. Good app.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2022-08-08*

I have used adding machine apps on my iPhone for ten years and never liked any of them. This one is perfect!  It works like a ten key paper tape machine but it lets me edit a column of numbers to make corrections. Definitely get the upgrade to have 400 lines of numbers. To clear the register double tap the “i” key then  tap “clear”.  One last time: It’s perfect!

### 5/5 — Does what it claims.  A pleasure to use.

*2020-08-28, version 6.20k*

Does what it claims.  A pleasure to use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-04-15*

Has all I need @ the end of the day 
Get my totals the email them to everyone that needs them. Have one on each of my devices and the files have saved me more than once. Love this app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-01-16*

This is a great ten key logic app.  Does just what I want, and the tape is a great advantage over other calculators.   I do wish they would add a square root feature, but I understand that is not usually on a ten key adding machine.

### 5/5 — Does the job well.

*2019-12-29*

Very helpful for when I’m away from my adding machine.

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2019-05-13*

One of my most used apps. Very handy and user friendly.

### 5/5 — Lou Kramer

*2019-04-28*

I have tried many of the apps for adding machines this one is the simplest and the fastest to use. SSP keep my books balanced and the war I stand at all times. Many of the extra features are very handy to have and the ability to store and use a adding machine tape is the best. Yet machine tape makes it very simple to be able to check your calculations just like you would on the desktop adding machine to make sure you didn’t miss or miss figure.

### 5/5 — Best app for this application I have found. I really recommend it.

*2019-04-22*
