It really works!

Great app. It’s just like using a 10-key with paper tape. I use it all the time. Update 8/31/25: still great. If you start seeing incorrect totals just close and reopen the app. It only happens when I use it for many hours.

An Oldie But Goodie

I think I first installed this at least 10-12 years ago. Simple, easy to use, but capable of more complex uses. Does what it says it does.

It seems it’s no longer being updated. I just want to give credit and thanks to the developer.

Info and Settings wheel CLOSES APP on iPhone

I downloaded APP on my tablet and all the settings and buttons work fine, I’ve updated my IOS to 17.4.1 for my iPhone and the moment you attempt to use the INFO and Settings wheel (to Manage Paper tape), the APP instantly closes.

Again, works fine on the iPad running the same IOS 17.4.1
