Love it

This is the best app ever! Always afraid it will no longer be available. I wish it would work on the iPhone and have a Mac version.

J’adore ma calculatrice

Enfin je peux voir et imprimer mes calculs. Très utile lors de mes impôts au lieu d’une calculatrice de cellulaire ou une calculatrice portable sans papier. De toute façon je ne suis pas obligé d’imprimer. J’aime même la sonorité. Amusante, fonctionnelle, efficace.
