I don't even know how I got this. I had Grandpa calculator and loved it and one day this crap was there instead. ### 2/5 — Won’t let you clear *2023-10-26, version 1.0.7* Is ok but make a mistake and have to start over a real pain ### 2/5 — Needs one thing *2021-11-03, version 1.0.7* You make a mistake there is no back button, so you have to use clear and start all over. So it’s simple, but really needs a back space button. So like if I put 1.30, but meant 1.03. There is no way to just back space twice and correct last 2 numbers. ### 3/5 — Hate the grandma *2023-10-06, version 1.0.7* It had to go, I just cannot stand the silly grandma icon ### 3/5 — Not able to backspace if type in a number wrong limits use. *2023-04-05, version 1.0.7* Not able to backspace if type in a number wrong limits utility ### 3/5 — Grandma calculator *2022-02-15, version 1.0.7* I’m a Black person.

(Put a smile on my face!) I’m 59yrs old, in the prime of my life, Lol & all I need to do today is add a few items from a receipt. I subtracted just a few items too. It felt good to put numbers into this calculator & get a sum without having to get fancy with square roots and/or other equations such as 3.14x 1/8=X Once upon a Time I didn’t have much of a choice in the matter & I had to participate in Algebra, Geometry, & Trigonometry. When I entered College I studied Physics. One of The hardest subject I’ve ever taken in my life. Now, I choose a simpler way of life, semi- retired, getting older. Living The Good Life. Thank You For listening. Most of all… Thank You for the easy, memory sparking calculator when we lived in simpler, easier, times. Take care. Be well! 👩🏼‍⚕️Be safe! 🚔🏁 Be you! 🖖🤙 ### 5/5 — Great for seniors *2024-03-10, version 1.0.8* it is a blessing for me because I can’t see very well.

The buttons on screen respond quickly and I’ve noticed a lot of free calculators have a decimal point but you have to keep hitting it, this one the decimal point works. It does have an animated grandma on screen but you will get us to that. ### 5/5 — Basic. Simple. Shows what you entered.
