### 1/5 — Doesn’t add correctly

*2021-06-04*

I was so surprised to find that 285 + 8562 + 50 + 2239 = 2524
Refund please.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you had this problem! There was indeed a bug in the calculator related to chain-mode addition. This issue was fixed in v2.2.1 and there should no longer be any problems with this type of calculation.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2020-09-13*

I have found that this app doesn’t add all of the numbers entered, it only adds the first and last. The speech does not keep up with the keying in of numbers so the ‘talking’ part of it is next to useless. A real disappointment.

### 5/5 — Support is VERY responsive! Get this CALCULATOR!

*2020-09-02*

Great!

Reasons:
1. IPad view is horizontal
2. Speech: multiple voices
3. View Size: Jumbo for LOW vision
4. Support Services: VERY responsive

This is a great calculator because if you are like me and need jumbo numbers and speech this awesome!

### 4/5 — Small but powerful

*2020-05-23*

The four basic functions and percent.  The addition of multiple voices and voice speed control is great!  An excellent next step would be to add parentheses for grouping, and an exponent key.
