### 5/5 — Calculate Lite = GREAT !

*2014-06-02*

I just deleted 3 other calculator apps from my iPad Mini because Calculate Lite meets 100% of my needs.

It is a great business calculator. The keyboard layout is excellent with large, easy to read keys. All the functions I need are available directly on the keyboard; no horizontal flipping is needed.

The "tape" feature is very useful for anyone doing complex calculations.

Try it ... you'll like it!
