App summary

What happens if you combine a standard calculator App, a classic desktop calculator and a note App ?

CalcTape brings you the best of these and even more.
It is your companion for all daily calculation needs and easily masters all scenarios you can imagine.
CalcTape is NOT a scientific calculator, but do we need these in daily use ?

Ever did a long calculation with many figures and asked yourself:
"Did I enter the last figure correctly ?"
"The result looks strange somehow !"
With CalcTape you keep an overview, can check all figures and correct figures instantly inplace with
all subsequent results being adjusted automatically ! Missed a figure ? No problem: Just insert
it in the right place easily by entering a new line.

You can place the cursor everywhere you like in the calculation: It's like a note where
you can change anything you like in any place with the advantage, that changing numbers
or operators updates your calculation immediately!

CalcTape can be considered a "spreadsheet with a calculator interface".

You can also keep the calculation for your records (documents) and create templates:
Replacing the figures in your template and getting the correct results is a breeze.
Commenting figures and results gives sense to your calculations, so you can understand
what you did when viewing the calculation a month later.
Customize CalcTape to your needs and place only those buttons on your keypad that you really
need everyday. Create your own functions to e.g. add a specific percent rate with a tap on
a single button.

CalcTape comes as a basic free version and offers a Pro update.
The Pro version brings:
- Save your calculations into files
- Create own functions or text snippets to be entered when pressing a button (long press a button to enter the Button screen)
- Create own keypad layouts (change assignment of all buttons except numbers and backspace / change button sizes)
- Select between different keypad layouts (the "function keypad" contains no numbers and is nearly completely customizable)
to get more buttons or other functions, 2 keypads are directly accessible in the main screen
- Share your calculations using standard Android sharing capabilities, e.g. email
- NEW: Print your calculations
- NEW: Export as HTML (via clipboard or e-mail)

I like the ability to have a running "tape" like a desktop calculator. A little more simple to follow than history on some other calculator apps when dealing with financial transactions. My only ask would be a clear vs. clear all option. At current, you can only double return to achieve that effect

I use this as my monthly income and expense tracker. I like how simple it is for me since I don't have many categories to organize. Thanks you guys for creating this application. Edit. (Nov 20, 2024) The app change its interface theme. The main function remains the same, but my hundred of records are lost. Next time, please send a prior notification, so the user could back up the data. Thank you.

Far and away the best calculator app on mobile for day-to-day math. Paper-tape style is the only kind or calculator that makes sense to me (see your work, add notations, etc), and of the VERY few apps with this feature, CalcTape does it best. I have the Mac version too, and use them both almost every day. My only beef: while the keypad is wildly configurable, I can't put backspace and AC where I want them. My only concern: updates are rare.
