### 4/5 — Love this calculator…but

*2026-05-26, version 2.5.2*

I’ve been using this calculator as my go to for the past 5 years. I loved the fact that there’s a conversion side to this calculator. The only downside is that there isn’t many unit for currency conversion. Hoping they’ll add more in future updates

### 2/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-12-24, version 2.5.2*

The looks the haptics the functionality it’s almost perfect but there needs to a clear all button or a faster way to clear because pressing an holding the sideways X is too slow and sometime doesn’t work.

### 3/5 — Update Needed

*2025-12-23, version 2.5.2*

Multiple times when using, the results don’t be added to the list above only a blank slot appears. When I do multiple calculations for finance I need each and every single calculation listed. It’s been 4 years since the last update and this app is in desperate need of one. This is an app that needs to be bought it’s not free so the developer / developers need to do their job and update this app.

### 3/5 — Needs update

*2025-10-25, version 2.5.2*

This app need an update for newer phones.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work with macOS 26, pls fix it. Thx.

*2025-09-21, version 2.5.2*

.

### 3/5 — Mise à jour ?

*2025-09-04*

Calculatrice très complète avec toutes les conversions nécessaires mais plus de mises à jour depuis 3 ans …..

### 4/5 — Needs control centre button

*2025-08-13, version 2.5.2*

The best calculator app, but desperately needs a control centre button for ease of access

### 3/5 — Calcbot Pro user

*2025-06-29, version 2.5.2*

ATTN to Developper : It would have been better if it has text size changes option for calculation & result both. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Great but needs updating

*2025-03-05, version 2.5.2*

Really polished, great currency conversion UI, but needs updating - the alternative app icons no longer work properly (they just appear blank on the Home Screen).

### 5/5 — Great Calculator

*2025-02-17, version 2.5.2*

I like that each entry is displayed as its typed in and also can be erased/deleted with finger swipes.

### 3/5 — Awesome app but outdated

*2024-12-24, version 2.5.2*

I still have and use this app because I think it’s one of the best. But it is outdated, unfortunately. Would love to see an update!

### 2/5 — Schade….

*2024-12-20, version 2.5.2*

…das die App nicht mehr gepflegt wird da ich die an sich wirklich klasse finde und mag. Leider passt bei die Auflösung für das 16 pro Max nicht mehr. Leider seit 3 Jahren keine Updates mehr.

### 5/5 — Continues to be the best calculator I’ve ever used!

*2024-11-14, version 2.5.2*

I hope they continue to update it. It’s just awesome! It has everything you need in one place. From simple calculations to conversions. The only flaws are the lack of updates for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. There is  no version for the Mac M2 version without the need of Rosetta 2.

### 5/5 — Excellent Calculator & Unit Converter

*2024-11-03, version 2.5.2*

Excellent Calculator & Unit Converter. It has everything I need and much more. It’s easy to customize so you can have whatever you want and can turn off anything you don’t want.

### 5/5 — Great but needs updating

*2024-10-21, version 2.5.2*

Really polished, great currency conversion UI, but needs updating for iOS 18 because the alternative app icons no longer work properly (they just appear blank on the Home Screen).

### 1/5 — Abandoned?

*2025-11-16, version 2.5.2*

Has my favorite calculator and currency converter app been abandoned? It hasn’t supported any new iOS features for years and it’s officially out of date with the latest iPhones with parts of the interface clashing with the Dynamic Island. Is is time to abandon it for an app like Calzy? It’d be a shame.

### 1/5 — Richtiger Müll

*2025-10-21, version 2.5.2*

Wichtige mathematische Grundlagen können nicht gerechnet werden

### 1/5 — Abandoned App

*2025-01-13, version 2.5.2*

No update in years and just a hot mess. Better options!

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2024-10-30, version 2.5.2*

Used to be excellent but regretfully it appears it is no longer maintained.

### 1/5 — Верните историю

*2024-10-27*

История была бесплатной!

### 1/5 — Great app poor service

*2024-09-23, version 2.5.2*

It never gets updated

### 1/5 — Auf einmal kaputt

*2024-09-19, version 2.5.2*

Als Rechner prinzipiell geht, speichert aber keine Historie mehr. Auch letztes Ergebnis wird nicht mehr angezeigt, wenn man die App neu startet. Neuinstallation half auch nicht.

### 1/5 — Taking away features…?

*2024-08-11, version 2.5.2*

I rarely use calculator but when I do, I expect all the features to be there as they were the last time I used it.

Today I launched the app and now my history tape is locked. The app is bugging me every chance it gets to upgrade to pro.

Look, I wouldn’t mind paying $10 for this app upfront, but to take away core features and then to lock it behind a $2 paywall absolutely paints you as a scam company. What’s next, take away the core features again and force the user to upgrade to a subscription?

TapBots used to be a slick app company, but it seems like ever since they lost access to Twitter APIs, everything went downhill.

### 1/5 — EQUALS SIGN IS NOT AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.

*2024-05-02*

Calcbot is almost the perfect calculator, but I hate the placement of = sign. If you compare it with the iPhone calculator, (the official app for iPhone ), you will notice the position of = is right below plus button and on the bottom right corner of the UI. This position is essential because of muscle memory, we first keep looking for the button right where it is supposed to be. But in this app, it is not in the bottom right corner, and it’s one button to the left which kind of messes with the fast typing and I hate it. I regret buying the app for this particular reason, I don’t know why you guys didn’t place it at bottom right corner, but it really messes with my workflow. I know you guys work really hard to make these apps, so no disrespect to you guys but please consider relocating the position of the equal button. Heck, I will another dollar if you give an option to enable the new UI. At least, consider adding a Settings to relocate the position of the button for users, who want to.

### 1/5 — Leeeeeee

*2024-04-27*

Обновите уже приложение!!! Когда прибавляешь несколько сумм и в конце ни деление ни умножение с этой суммой не работают, вообще другие числа показывает, если из истории брать результат и перетащить вниз, тоже вылетает приложение, а люди покупали приложение!

### 5/5 — The best !

*2026-07-02*

La meilleure des calculettes, et ce, depuis des années

### 5/5 — GOAT

*2026-03-27*

The best I’ve used for years. It could have minor updates for the latest iOS version

### 5/5 — Better than Apple Store

*2026-03-23, version 2.5.2*

The first time the two sides

### 5/5 — Continues to be the best calculator I’ve ever used!

*2026-01-09, version 2.5.2*

Unfortunately after eating for 4 years for an update, and even sending an e-mail, I was forced to move on. On iOS, iPadOS and on the MacOS. RIP Calcbot!

### 5/5 — THE BEST OF ALL TIMES

*2025-12-08*

You wont find a better calculator

### 5/5 — Best calculator app

*2025-11-05, version 2.5.2*

For many years it’s a best calculator app on iOS.

### 5/5 — It’s a gem

*2025-09-15*

It looks beautiful. The button tap animation and sounds is chef’s kiss.

### 5/5 — Flexible calculator & conversions

*2025-07-22, version 2.5.2*

Calcbot has lots of nice touches like history, parenthetical expressions, sounds and haptics (turn on/off in settings). Love that you can see the ‘tape’ history of calculations, as well as the equations leading to the results. Conversions (a small one-time in app purchase for ‘Pro’) are a quick swipe right. 

A great calculator app, plus iPad version. Try then buy—worth the in-app purchase for conversions and no ads.

### 5/5 — Thank You for Doing the Math Apple Forgot

*2025-07-15, version 2.5.2*

Shoutout to Calcbot 2 for stepping up when iPadOS had no calculator. You’ve been my default before default existed. Absolute legend! Respect! 💐

### 5/5 — Calcbot 2

*2025-06-26, version 2.5.2*
