### 4/5 — Simply useful

*2025-01-06, version 1.32*

Nice app to spot and correct mistakes when adding up numbers.  I tried a few similar apps, some with more functionality, and this was least fuss and easiest for an occasional, light user. 
Ideally, I’d like the edit screen to allow me to amend a wrong number rather than just delete the line (so that my tape would be in the right order). It would get five stars if it had that function. 
This is perfect for what it promises - a simple tape adding machine.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-09-28, version 1.32*

No place to enter saved sales tax, s/b two. 
No way to choose auto decimal. 
Algebraic entry only. I am about to delete. The free version did not inspire me to try spending a penny.

### 1/5 — Not exact calculation

*2024-09-19*

I don’t understand why someone would make a calculator that doesn’t include the small numbers after the decimal. You can add 2.23 and it says 2.2 like where did the 3 go?

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Print

*2023-11-29*

I updated to get print feature…. doesn’t work on my iPad Air.  I can email results but I paid for print feature.

### 3/5 — No commas in totals..?????

*2023-11-12, version 1.32*

Really?

### 1/5 — Where’s the X and division as shown in the photo??

*2022-12-03*

I used to have this and it did +,  —, X, and division with tape! 

Where did it go and why does it show all of these in the photo then not have anything on the app when you open it except + and — ?

### 2/5 — No way to restore purchase

*2022-04-06*

How do I restore my purchase of no ads?

### 5/5 — Straightforward App

*2022-01-06*

Wanted something quick and simple and this did the trick nicely.  Purchased the Pro version right away.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t print

*2021-11-23*

Was hoping to print out the tape but it crashes before reaching printert

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2021-10-04*

Have purchased and still have adds. Can’t find any buttons but + or -. Wast of $1.99.
