### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2025-12-31, version 6.8*

It looks like new version 6 days ago. It now doesn’t show running history alongside calculations page. Near useless to me. Time for me to move on.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-05-26*

Great Calculator, bought it because you can make comments still the best 2023

**Developer response:** Thank you for your compliment. I'm glad you enjoyed this program.
:-)

### 4/5 — Tape correction even after a total —finally

*2022-04-12*

As with others needing a tape for long calculations and old versions not compatible with new ISO. This fits the bill being able to edit the tape on any line entered and even after the total button has been used, editing is still possible. Using it on an iPad entries are smooth and a slight clicking sound to me is useful. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars as with other calculators My Bluetooth keypad numbers are not excepted as in-put.

### 1/5 — Recommend a Replacement, Folks?

*2021-11-13*

Once the perfect app b/c the tape remained visible on the left. The developer opted to kill the app by removing that vital feature. Folks are now telling him this move personifies ignorance, yet the dev’s comments = merely “considering” returning to normal. The dev has schooled me/us on the utter stupidity of trusting the team behind this app. Hence, I’m now scrambling for a replacement. Pls advise if you find one; I’ll do the same.

### 1/5 — What happened to this App?

*2021-11-06, version 6.1*

I have been using this app for the last year or so.  Suddenly the functionality changed dramatically.  It used to show up in landscape mode, which allowed me to add notes to my calculation.
And I could email to myself and then I could edit text.
It was AWESOME 
Now it’s just a register tape (JPG)
Bring back the old style……
Am I missing something?

### 1/5 — What Happened to the Tape?

*2021-11-05, version 6.1*

I’ve used and loved this app for years, but today all I have on my iPad’s screen is the keyboard…and the keyboard is stretched so far horizontally that I have to constantly watch what I’m doing so I don’t make errors. What gives?  I rebooted, but that didn’t help. I’m shopping for a new calculator. This isn’t working for me.

**Developer response:** We will consider the left right layout, maybe it will come back.

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2021-10-31, version 6.0*

It looks like new version 6 days ago. It now doesn’t show running history alongside calculations page. Near useless to me. Time for me to move on.

### 1/5 — Changes With 6.0 Strip Useful Function

*2021-10-28, version 6.0*

Um…, Why!

Why remove the editable scrolling tabulation tape sidebar? This was the sole feature that made this app a useful standout for me.

### 5/5 — Love this calculator

*2021-10-28*

I love the fact that you can add what the amount is on the screen. It’s a great way to know what an item is when you can list them.

### 3/5 — Comment function not working

*2021-03-02, version 5.1*

I want to like this app.  Seems good, however the comment function doesn’t work.  :(
