And there is no response on Shop Upgrades. ### 3/5 — Sad that is not updated anymore. *2025-11-06, version 3.1.2* A beautiful and useful app. Digits has been around for many years. A time ago, it got pulled from the store but reappeared renovated and improved. I’m hope that this time history repeats itself. Would be a dream to enjoy Digits in all Liquid Glass glory. Besides the app, I purchased all the extras to support the developer. Hope it cares as the loyal users do about the app. ### 3/5 — Awesome *2025-10-29* One of the best if not the best. I like it keeps track of what you have pressed on each calculation. It has been great for a few years. The best I’ve used by far, the features, the design (you can even edit the colors), add comments to each amounts, print, send, edit. What’s not to love. But suddenly the app has an issue that when you add a comment it becomes unusable. All the pad is at the bottom, you can see a bit of it that shows but you can’t bring it up. That disables a very important feature which is comments at other apps don’t have. So giving it 3 stars until the feature is fixed. I uninstalled it to see if it was fixed but it wasn’t. I’m trying to restore the purchase but it says “unable to connect” even with WiFi and wireless which seems to be another bug. I’ll gladly pay for other features if it has when it is fixed of course. ### 2/5 — Bug with iOS 26 *2025-10-08* Update: Downgraded from 3 stars to 2 because the fix has not come through yet, despite the developer’s response below. It should have been easy to fix, and they haven’t updated the app at all in years so I’m skeptical they will actually resolve it. I’ll change the stars back to 5 if they do resolve it, though, because minus the bug I mention below, it’s a great calculator app. — With iOS 26, there is now an issue where if you add (or change) a comment on a line, when you’re done, the number pad does not return. You can see it at the bottom but there’s no way to bring it back without quitting and relaunching the app. I really hope they update, because it seems like the developer hasn’t updated in years. I bought the pro features for this one, and I’d pay again to keep using it. Otherwise, it’s still the best tape calculator. Been using it for a long time. **Developer response:** Hello and thanks for letting us know about this issue. We are working on a fix! ### 3/5 — Bug with iOS 26 *2025-09-23* With iOS 26, there is now an issue where if you add (or change) a comment on a line, when you’re done, the number pad does not return.

You can see it at the bottom but there’s no way to bring it back without quitting and relaunching the app. I really hope they update, because it seems like the developer is only updated the ad-supported version now. I bought the pro features for this one, and I’d pay again to keep using this one without ads. Otherwise, it’s still the best tape calculator. Been using it for a long time. ### 5/5 — Best Calculator Ever *2025-06-20, version 3.1.2* I have been using Digit Calculator for so many years and it still the best yet. Keep the good work going and continue to improve. ### 5/5 — Amo muito *2025-05-15* Nem me lembro há quantos anos tenho esse aplicativo. E receio que hora ou outra ele fique indisponível. Não sei se é tão útil para outras pessoas. Pra mim, ele tem recursos preciosos. Facilitou muito minha vida. Acho que paguei por ele. E se paguei, foi bem pago. **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu comentário! ### 5/5 — The Best Calculator! *2025-05-09, version 3.1.2* This is very to use. I love its "ticker tape" feature so I know what numbers I have already entered. It can also accommodate numerous digits unlike simple calculators that get error messages with extra digits. Thank you for this wonderful application! ### 5/5 — Swampdogie *2025-02-08, version 3.1.2* This is a good app, does what it it suppose to do. I have to agree with everyone else, this is a great app! Been using it for a good while without ANY problems. Good Job! ### 5/5 — Best calculator out there *2025-01-05, version 3.1.2* I’ve been using Digits for years. I use it so often that it’s on my home screen. I love having a history of my calculations. It’s definitely worthy of your consideration. ### 5/5 — Still works on iOS18.2 but... *2025-01-04* I've been using this app since it showed on app store. I purchased all add-ons. It still works as for today but my concern is that the last update was 5 years ago and since then is very quiet. If developer read this could you please confirm that you are not going to abandon it. I love it and there is no other calculator as this one. Thanks. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks very much for your review and for being a longtime user. No plans to abandon! A new feature is planned. ### 5/5 — Best calculator for routine calculations *2024-12-27* I have been using this calculator for years. It is wonderful to have the tape showing all of the steps of the calculation. It is easy and very flexible to edit or correct any calculation. I have tried multiple other calculators and none of them compare in my experience. Definitely recommended!!! **Developer response:** Thanks very much for your review! ### 5/5 — Best Ever! *2024-11-23, version 3.1.2* I have tried several other calculators and none compare. I use this for bookkeeping and having the ability to memorize and save calculations is crucial for me. Love this app! ### 5/5 — The best calculator ever *2024-08-31* I wish it was available for my MacBook as well as for an iPhone! ### 5/5 — The BEST *2024-07-27, version 3.1.2* None better. I’ve been using Digits for years. Absolutely the best. I live the colors. The sounds. The features. It’s great. Previous review: WOW This is better than any other calculator anywhere....manual, on computer, app, etc. I use Digits for all calculations now. So many truly useful features! Wonderful! ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-06-23* Happy that you’re leaving well enough alone. **Developer response:** 🙂 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-06-22, version 3.1.2* Love the oversized buttons and ease of wo🤣🦕🦕🐙🐙🦕🦕🐙😔🐠😿😂🥹☺️🥲😗😇😗😇🙂🙂‍↕️🙃🧜🏼‍♂️zu🗯️f se r Z’s de Z’s u⬛️🟨🟨🟨🟨😘😶👞 ### 5/5 — Incredibly Handy Useful 2024 *2024-05-13, version 3.1.2* Like an old paper roll quick calculator it is always available at hand; BUT tapes easily saved or shared as PDFs, CSVs or emailed. I have used for years. Essential. Recommend adding short label field but still essential iPhone app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-03-06, version 3.1.2* I can’t upgrade keeps saying no connection ### 1/5 — Нет оптимизации для iPhone 15 Pro *2024-04-27* Обновите дизайн и поставлю 5 звезд! ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 17.4.1 *2024-04-03, version 3.1.2* As subject ### 1/5 — stupid *2024-03-19* App does not save documents once app is closed. Sucks!! **Developer response:** This should be fixed if you update your iOS/iPadOS. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-02-07, version 3.1.2* Doesn’t update app and doesn’t support customers ### 1/5 — iOS 15.7 Update Resulted Truncated Entries All Tapes *2022-09-16, version 3.1.2* Please update this app so it doesn’t truncate all longer entries that used to auto-adjust the font to fit and be visible since this truncation now makes this app unusable. ### 1/5 — 뜬금없이 실행이 되지 않네요 *2022-07-11* 재설치를 해도 똑같고… ### 1/5 — WTF *2022-02-09* I need copy and past the calc! Simple! But I can’t! Why? Obs: I know abou the link share… ### 1/5 — Wont load just stay on loading screen. *2021-06-04, version 3.1.2* Its a calculator how hard can it be? Apparently too hard since it won’t even load it just stay on the loading screen. Deleting and reinstalling does nothing. ### 1/5 — Was the best *2021-02-09, version 3.1.2* Best calculator for accountants now unusable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-07-02, version 3.1.2* For many years, this is one of the first apps I install on every new device. ### 5/5 — Best calculator *2026-06-26* I’ve had this app so long now I don’t even know if it is even for sale anymore (it shows up on my store cause I already own it). But it’s been working perfectly since I got it however long ago and having a tape to show what I put in makes it so much more useful then any other calculator. It’s simple enough to use as a simple calculator if you need but still more functionality then a simple one would give you. This is the calculator I still go to whenever I need a calculator (even when I’m on other devices I take out my iPhone to use this one). If it ever stops working on new os’s I’d pay again to get one that worked on new os’s. It’s worth it and I already well got my money’s worth. ### 5/5 — This is a life saver. *2026-03-13, version 3.1.2* Bought this a few years back. It has been a life saver. A very resourceful app. 💪🏾 ### 5/5 — My goto calculator *2026-02-04, version 3.1.2* I use this app regularly. Being able to create separate tapes is great when adding a split transaction to my Personal Finance app and I need to go through my receipts and categorise my spending. Initially I found it difficult to understand the functionality, so the user needs to read through the instructions. All in all though I would not like to be without this app. Brilliant, well done. ### 5/5 — Tapes, tapes.. *2025-12-24, version 3.1.2* Love this calculator. I love that I can SAVE TAPES for my different calculations.. How awesome is that?💕 ### 5/5 — best tape calculator out there! *2025-11-27* We all have our favorite calculator apps and this remains mine. The interface is comfortable and easy to work with on both iPhone and iPad and I love the way it resizes in new iPad windows now. Both pro add-ons have been well worth it to me, especially export. But, the edit-able and comment-able saved tapes are definitely this app's best feature. The fact that you can go back to and work between multiple tapes is terrific. The only way I can think to make this app better would be to sync & save tapes to iCloud so we could re-load saved tapes and switch seamlessly between tapes on more than one device. ### 5/5 — Bug with iOS 26 *2025-11-20* Update 2: iOS 26.1 seems to have resolved the issue. The developers didn’t do anything even though they said they would. Restored this app review back to 5 stars, though, since it’s working perfectly again. — Update: Downgraded from 3 stars to 2 because the fix has not come through yet, despite the developer’s response below. It should have been easy to fix, and they haven’t updated the app at all in years so I’m skeptical they will actually resolve it.

Been using it for a long time. **Developer response:** Update: Thanks for editing your review! The issue with the keyboard was indeed a iOS 26 bug that has been fixed by Apple in iOS 26.1. — Hello and thanks for letting us know about this issue. We are working on a fix! ### 5/5 — A melhor calculadora *2025-08-28* Já uso a mais de uma década e nunca encontrei uma calculadora melhor e mais útil. ### 5/5 — 베리굿 *2025-07-31* 내가 써본 계산기중 최고 원탑!!!!!! **Developer response:** 정말 감사합니다! ### 5/5 — Best *2025-06-29, version 3.1.2* Great app best great greatest --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
