Broken
This little app used to be brilliant, now it is broken and I can’t seem to find any instructions about the problem, or how to fix it. There’s now a message appears on the home screen, saying ‘Please grant permission to display badge’. I have gone into settings and made sure the permissions are correct to display a badge, but still the message remains. Also, pressing the + or - key does nothing. Is there a fix for this?

A Classic
So happy to see that this app is here! Picocalc is of the first apps I ever downloaded—way back on the 1st gen iPod Touch running system software 2. Right now things feel unexplored and exciting like 2008 again!
Simple, No Other Counter App with Badge Out There
Been using this app for 10 years. I may change phones but I always keep this app on my first or second screen. It’s simple: just set a number and then use the calculator to add or subtract from that starting number, and the result posts as a little red badge in the home screen app icon.
I tend to use this as a quick budget calculator. I set it to my monthly budget for food and expenses, and it gives me a quick-glance preview of the number by just looking at the badge. I can quickly see how much of my budget I have left to spend on without even opening the app.
One thing I wish this was capable of is sharing with another user, real-time. If my partner installed picocalc and it could update every time I added or subtracted, then we could both keep an eye on the same number separately. Likewise, it would be useful if the other person could subtract a number when they spend on lunch, and my picocalc showed an updated number.
I’ve tried finding any other app that does something similar, but this is the only app that seems to exist of its type. Kudos to the developer! I hope you keep updating and maybe even scale it up just a little bit more :)

Rules, owns, etc
I was waiting for an update to make it compatible and now that it's here, blows my mind. It's crazy how lost you are when you lose such a simple app, but thank Buddha we got you back.
Seems to have gone buggy with iOS 8.
Such a shame. I have use this app daily for over five years, and have found no substitute. Sure, there are all sorts of checkbook and let your balancing apps out there, but none that allow me to get in, adjust my balance, and get out all in the seconds as I leave the cash register. Well I have virtually no features, it won the speed war.
But now, with ios 8 it no longer seems to do it's math correctly.
