Print function no longer working. App simply shuts down on my iPhone losing all entries. I am using current iOS . Must be incompatible with newer iOS updates. ### 3/5 — Not Working on iOS 14.2 *2020-11-30* After updating iPhone to iOS 14.2 this app stopped working. Crashes right after opening it. ### 3/5 — Useful but clunky *2018-08-17, version 4.01.00* This a rudimentary app. It’s functional but not intuitively designed. Not designed for iPad. ### 5/5 — Updates? *2014-10-21* Will there be any? It doesn't work on ios8 ### 5/5 — I love this app. *2013-09-10* This app is great. I love and could not live without the the running paper tape feature, ability to wrote notes on the tape, this is the best for people who work with numbers and have lots of interruptions. I love it! ### 5/5 — Super *2013-09-07* Super ### 5/5 — The best!! *2013-07-31, version 3.77o* Great app, tape readout makes it a 5 star. ### 5/5 — Great Calculator *2013-05-05, version 3.77o* This is the best App in calculation I have ever gotten. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-03-22* Simple, effective, couldn't be better! ### 5/5 — Works just the way you would want *2013-03-14* This is a very useful app. Works just like a paper tape and you can email the entire set of calculations. Very useful to me in the calculation of benefits. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2012-12-05, version 3.77o* Tape history is the bomb. ### 5/5 — من أميز برامج الحاسبات *2012-11-21, version 3.77o* ممتاز ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abandoned product *2022-12-02* Doesn’t work well on iPads or any newer devices Loved this app but can’t use it for what I need anymore ### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 14.2 *2020-12-10, version 4.01.00* It crashes when I open it after update to iOS 14.2 ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time now *2020-11-26, version 4.01.00* After the last update to the iOS, this calculator no longer works! 2020 ### 1/5 — Email? *2018-08-02* It does what need it to do but one. The email function does not work . The “ send” button does not function. It is “grayed” out. Is it something I’m doing wrong? I bought the correct version right? Would appreciate a reply. ### 1/5 — Not formatted for iPhone 5 *2014-05-14, version 3.77o* I thought with the high ratings that this would be formatted for iPhone 5. It's not. Useless for me. ### 2/5 — Info and Settings wheel CLOSES APP on iPhone *2024-04-01* 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 ### 2/5 — Crashes every time *2022-01-15* I got this app specifically to be able to print the “tape”. Every time I hit print, the app crashes. Useless to me. ### 2/5 — App soweit ok *2011-09-29* Nötigung zu bewerten ansonsten ok ### 2/5 — Only works in the portrait mode *2011-04-02, version 3.6o* It only works in the portrait mode so if you have one of those neat Apple covers it's a pain to use. Pass on this one. ### 3/5 — Seems good but can’t get question answered *2023-11-16* The calculator seems to work great and I love the tape but it is only allowing me a few lines of tape??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It really works! *2025-08-31, version 4.02.00* 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. ### 5/5 — It really works! *2024-09-08* Great app. It’s just like using a 10-key with paper tape. I use it all the time. ### 5/5 — An Oldie But Goodie *2024-04-02* 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. ### 5/5 — Perfect calculator *2024-03-26* Does everything well, very intuitive. ### 5/5 — Owner apt complex *2024-01-09, version 4.01.00* I work’s like you said. ### 5/5 — Great calculator *2023-06-19* Great but if you make a new version it would be awesome if you add a column for references. Example Diamonds 1,000 Setting 150 Polishing. 60 Total. 2,210.00 ### 5/5 — Good but Glitchy *2021-10-06* When adding and editing multiple notes on paper receipt app freezes and crashes ... small bug no biggie though ### 5/5 — Great product! *2021-01-25* This calculator is a great product - particularly for those of us who sometimes get distracted and can't remember what numbers have been input. I have a financial calculator that I used all the time before I got this app. Now, I use it almost exclusively. It's strange, but the paid version uses a completely different calculator logic that I don't care for. ### 5/5 — Six stars *2019-11-06* One of those applications make you fell lucky...thank you guys ### 5/5 — Must have *2017-06-07* If you need to add up a list of numbers and verify their accuracy on your phone then this is the app for you! And having the option to Print and/or email the tape to yourself or client with a note is perfect. So many apps stop short of the kind of usefulness this has. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
