If you need to add a cash drawer and reference your deposit, you’re going to need the extra lines. Also the ads take up a lot of the printing calculator keys and make it difficult to quickly enter amounts. If you’re using an iPad I don’t think the ads will bother you much. But, on an iPhone the ads take up valuable screen space. If you have a later iPhone keep in mind that that app does not include the screen space provided by the notch, and the keys don’t go all the way to the bottom. Keys are way too small on the lite version to do long inputs. The paid version does provide more screen space and up to 400 lines, so just pay the $3 to save yourself the effort. ### 4/5 — Very useful p *2023-05-17* Behaves like a ‘real’ calculator. My only suggestion for change concerns the ‘tape record’ and history: the font used is very faint and difficult to read under anything less than ideal conditions. ### 4/5 — Nice except for one thing *2021-01-07* Nice app and works well except when using it with a fixed 2 decimals (like a regular adding machine) and the result is x.00 or x.x0, the trailing zeros are not displayed. Minor inconvenience but it bugs me. ### 5/5 — Works for me! *2020-09-26* I still have my old 10 key on my desk, but I think this will work fine as a replacement next time I run out of hard-to-find ink ribbon. I especially like the iPad version because it looks so much like the real thing. ### 4/5 — Mis-punched misery mitigated. *2020-04-23* I am a courier and have 100’s of calculations monthly and seredipitously stumbled across this app as I was probably searching for a virtual sledgehammer to put me out of my mis-punched misery. I was about to heave my phone asunder after having to start over time and time again with the standard calc that comes with our phones (due to missed punches and losing my place). I can finally get through a healthy portion of calculations without the need for that sledgehammer. I even put the clicky sound through my bluetooth speaker. Yes, it was overkill. Thank you Charlie Livengood ### 5/5 — Use it constantly *2019-07-16* I wanted an easy way to balance my bank account and have a way to check my numbers if I make a mistake and they don't balance. Easy peasy. ### 5/5 — Great calculator *2019-05-14, version 6.20kbu* Only problem is the tape is to short. Should be unlimited. But other than that great. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2019-04-25* I’ve been using it for two years, and can’t imagine anything free being this good. Get it! ### 5/5 — Adding Machine App *2018-12-19, version 6.20kbu* Very easy to use... ### 5/5 — Best one out their *2018-12-14, version 6.20kbu* Great App. ### 5/5 — Super useful! *2018-09-26* A great option when a big clunky adding machine is just not right for your workspace. ### 4/5 — Nice app but ... *2018-09-20* I wouldn’t purchase for the full version this without actually using it to calculate all my items I am buying before paying at a register. Seeing if any glitches before getting rid of ads. With the limit I will not be able to see if this app will meet my needs. Looking to replace a long loved app I used for such, due to it freezes up when I move out of the app to see something else on my phone that it just started doing after the latest ios update. If the paid version delivers and I saw it did, then I would be delighted. Deleted after I figured out how to navigate the app and saw how it was limited, the latter my reason for me to keep looking. ### 5/5 — Such a good Adding Machine *2018-04-10, version 6.14kbu* This works logically and simply. Its really a pleasure to use. Thanks ### 5/5 — It is all I need! *2018-03-19* I love this app, but use the free version because I don’t require any more register “tape” than what comes with the free version. If I run out of “paper”, I just clear it and add again. Keypad can be configured. I’m grateful for it because I need to review what I’ve added to make sure I haven’t miss an entry. Can’t do that on my phone’s regular calculator. ### 5/5 — Completely Satisfied *2017-12-10* I was motivated to look for this type of app because the beloved cat that lives at my workplace is constantly seeking out the warmth of my desk calculator & I couldn’t bring myself to make her move. I have stayed with this app because it was so incredibly easy to learn, it offers many more options than my desk calculator & I’ve not had even one hiccup while using it. I definitely recommend this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst calculator ever *2020-12-02, version 6.20kbu* Don’t waste time or money. I did. This is not worth anything. 3 digits get frozen during calculations. Then runs out of paper quick. They just want you to paid fir the most basic things on a calculator. Do not waste your money or time ### 1/5 — Won’t stop begging for reviews *2018-03-05, version 6.12kbu* Every time I open the app, it begs me for a review. The “don’t ask again” button apparently means nothing ### 1/5 — Just say it's a basic restricted app! *2017-10-07* On first use I reached the invented "paper tape limit" and was prompted to upgrade! Shove it! ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2016-11-29, version 5.6kbu* Just like the developer who has 5 versions of the same app. No way to add comments. Deceptive. Everyone should report this developer and app to Apple. ### 1/5 — This is not a free version *2015-09-22* They should call this a small trial version and not a free version, I could not even finish one task before I was required to upgrade. ### 2/5 — Where is the total key? *2012-12-15, version 3.8kbu* Free version seems to lack a * total key ### 3/5 — OK *2024-10-20, version 7.10kbu* Lacks ability to set automatic cents. Lacks two sales tax rates or ability to deselect items from tax. ### 3/5 — Crashed and lost data *2018-10-20, version 6.14kbu* Crashed and lost data ### 3/5 — Doesn’t support split screen *2018-05-09* I like the app as is is exactly like a regular adding machine. However, the app does not support the split screen available in iOS 11. This makes it useless when trying to add anything that is on my iPad unless I want to switch back and forth between screens. ### 3/5 — Love the app. Expensive to upgrade *2016-03-23* The app is great on the iPhone & iPad. I have enjoyed it for years. I have been wanting to purchase the full app, but $6.99 for the iPhone/iPad version is a bit much for a calculator app. $2.99 for the iPhone or iPad stand alone apps is also on the high end. If the apps were $1.99 I think I would have upgraded 2 years ago. I just have a hard time paying $3 for an app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very happy *2024-08-29* This app works the same way as an adding machine, which is what is used in bookkeeping and what I prefer. Thanks for taking the aggravation out of balancing my checkbook,(which I don’t think anyone but I do anymore.) ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-12-01, version 6.20kbu* Love this app. Easy to use , many functions, and line writing..love it.. ### 5/5 — calculator *2023-11-06, version 6.20kbu* Great,big numbers easy to learn and understand, I am very with this unit! Thank You Jim Cosgrove Lebanon, TN 37090 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-10-22* Nice app does what it says not too annoying with ads. Only bad thing is you have to click 3x to clear tape ### 5/5 — Great App! *2023-06-03* This is my go-to iPhone calculator! I love the tape feature, and the ability to set the decimal. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2022-09-27* This App has been perfect for me! I do wish it would add a little more before I have to clear it. I would definitely recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Way better than iPhone calculator *2022-09-19* I like that I can see all my entries throughout the calculation process. ### 5/5 — Great Addition! *2022-04-20, version 6.20kbu* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-04-16, version 6.20kbu* Very good app. Just what I needed for my spreadsheets. Thanks a heap! ### 5/5 — Great adding machine *2021-03-09* This app is free and for my use it is functional and easy to use.
