| 2024-11-24 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | 3 stars cuz it still works but, last two updates of change the look of the keys which I absolutely hate and I have no way of changing them back. Also when I'm entering text after an entry the one above disappears it only comes back once I close and reopen the app what the heck are you doing. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-19 |  | | I've used this for many years.. now today the text is white and I can barely see it. It turns black after I hit + - etc. Doesn't appear to be a setting and I sure didn't change anything. I also purchased this and it won't let me recover the pro plan. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-02-03 |  | | Originally, I gave this app 5 stars. If you have this app installed on both an android and on Windows 10 computer, and you transfer a file created on your PC to your android, the android no longer recognizes the file. I've attempted to contact tech support 3x. No response. The newest updates are installed on both devices. I'm now changing my rating to a 1. No response from support. |
| 2023-11-04 |  | | This works so great for me. I've been trained to do 10 key (for those who don't know, using the keys without looking at them). However, without the tactile response of an old style 10 key calculator, I do make more mistakes on a phone. I can check my work here, and even print it out later if I wish. Just perfect! |
| 2023-10-22 |  | | Great app. I use it in combination with Color Checklist. If I make a grocery list with prices in front of the name, I can copy-paste it into CalcTape, and it gives me the total and the names from the list. I can also make price adjustments after I paste it in. It's easier and more convenient than doing it in Google Sheets. |
| 2022-11-01 |  | | Awesome app love it use it everyday. Would be nice to be able to change the colors a bit more, it is also as free which I love . Overall great app. Also would be nice if the keyboard didn't pop up every time you re open the app from a minimized window it's kinda annoying. It's the best app like this by far. Update app has gotten worse. I like to figure my bills a couple of months ahead I go through set everything up and for no reason the app erases everything I've done also agree with Steve B. |
| 2022-08-08 |  | | This app has been really good for years, but a couple months ago it started having a problem: whenever I delete a value in the list of equations, CalcTape suddenly scrolls all the way up to the top of the tape. I have to scroll down through the sometimes very long tape and find the spot where I'd just deleted the value or find the changed result of an equation. It's very disconcerting and slows down my math considerably! |
