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. ### 4/5 — Excellent calculator but lacks a couple important features *2021-01-17* Easy to use has all functions available except memory functions also needs to show running total in the display above the key pad like most desktop printing calculators. Missing running total is why it didn’t get a 5 star rating. ### 4/5 — Needs Copy/Past Feature *2018-05-20* Has everything except for the ability to copy and paste values from the list/tape. ### 5/5 — Like it *2017-12-18, version 5.0* Finally a calculator with a tape, which records each addition in its own line. Adding a comment onto the tape is a great feature. Sending the tape off via email works like a click and looks great. The receiving email really works as a document what was typed into the calculator. Great :-) I would wish being able to type in numbers with my keyboard. That should be added as a possibility (the only wish I have for this app). Works well. Like it Ueli ———— ### 3/5 — Please Fix.. *2017-10-22* This app would be a 5⭐️ if the background change worked. A cleaner interface would help too. I’m sure most people found you’re app as a replacement for Digits app which no longer works on iOS 11. ### 5/5 — Simple *2017-09-24* Comprehensive yet easy to use. Worth getting. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-09-22, version 4.5* Large numbers, paper tape, simple to use and see. Love it! ### 5/5 — Oh My God *2017-06-07* This is not one of the best calculators and YES this is THE BRST calculator I have ever used. It's the only one I can use for shopping and simple calculation. Thank you so much. ### 4/5 — Great calculator, but... *2017-05-15* This is a great calculator for side-by-side and slide over actions on the iPad. 5 stars for that. But for some reason it pauses my music each time I invoke it. Why? (Minus one star). ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-04-12* Very functional, nice design. You can't go wrong with this app. If your looking for a tape calculator this what you want. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2019-05-31, version 5.1* Background doesn’t change. ### 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. :( ### 3/5 — Missing memory function *2018-10-12* This calculator has both scientific and arithmetic function. However there is no memory function like M+ M- or memory recall and memory cancel functions. This severely limits its usability in daily use. Tips and loan functions are welcome additions. Interface is simple and clean and read out of digits as entered is helpful. However until the memory functions are added in the paid version I would give it only 3 stars. ### 3/5 — Bamboo calculator *2017-12-10, version 4.5* I tried this one after looking at all the offerings, some had features I was not interested I. It is fairly easy to use, but not all the options worked. I could not get the feature to let me write something on the pages where you are able to have text as well as the calculations. T he price is very reasonable. gfc_is_me ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. :-) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Thank you very much! *2019-12-30* I love it!! It's help me to summing anything and also it's very easy to use. ### 5/5 — I love it but *2019-10-11* This is what I use and everyone in my I make them use it too But you don’t have a copy feature ### 5/5 — Keyboard clicks. *2019-04-11, version 5.1* I love it but the keyboard clicks and I can’t stop it.Also it should connect to calendar. ### 5/5 — No way to start a new list *2018-10-04* I find it unbelievably rediculous that I can not find a way to start a new list. ### 5/5 — Excellent calculator *2018-09-09* Love this app; you can print out or email your calculations right from your phone:) ### 5/5 — Excellent Calculator *2018-08-05* Being able to print calculations for filing purpose helps a great deal. ### 5/5 — Great calculator *2018-03-01* This calculator is great. Easy to use, easy to read and packed full of helpful and practical features. ### 5/5 — Wow! Best calculator since Digits *2018-01-21* I will likely never Pune for Digits again. This little calc. Does most everything I may want to do! Really love the tip / split function :-) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
