Just keeps getting worse.

It was bad enough when Tapbots decided to toss out all the beautiful designs they had for their apps in favor of the simple line drawn, childishly large numbered designs ( that just plain look horrible ) but now after using the app for years I do an update to Calcbot and now I can no longer use the Tape History feature without PURCHASING a premium for $1.99! Since I ten to trust developers not to screw users by removing function and holding them for ransom I didn’t fully read the update notes prior to doing the update so I don’t know if it was in them or not and I didn’t make a backup so I can’t revert back to the previous version so I have no option but to remove the app. To bad, Calcbot, Convertbot and Pastebot ( the last 2 not even available anymore ) used to be the GOLD STANDARD for app design and where the first apps I would show to friends to highlight how much better apps were on iPhones than other phones. Now I use Tapbots as an example of how bad app design has gotten over time, especially on the iPhone.

Save your sanity

I really wanted to love this calculator... I really did. I gave it more than a fair shot and it let me down. The interface is beautiful and functional however, that is where the positivity towards this app stops. Loading times are stupid... why does a calculator have a 15 second loading time... really!? Also, there seems to be no other way to clear a calculation other than holding down the backspace button for an indeterminate amount of time. Ok ok... I can totally understand the whole holding down the backspace button to clear... the problem is that the app gives you no indication that the calculation has actually been cleared until you lift your finger off the button. Do you need to hold the button for 2 seconds? 5 seconds? Who knows. This causes a situation where clearing works consistently only half of the time. I don’t know... this calculator could be so much BETTER but it’s almost like the developers only did half their jobs on this one. Maybe laziness? Maybe someone got fired during development? Who knows... all I know is you should save your money ok this one folks. Many other better calculator apps out there. Personally, Solve is my go-to calculator app. You should definitely check out that app and leave this one in the dust.

The best is back!

Version 2.2 Update: I’m so happy that Calcbot now supports split screen and slide over. It’s a big help when wanting to do a quick calculation on iPad where Apple doesn’t give you a calculator out of the box.Calcbot is my favorite calculator app. It keeps the simplicity I want and adds the little extras I desire. The tape feature is great. I really like enabling the currency option because most of my calculations involve money. Being able to easily convert units is icing on the cake.This is a huge update to Calcbot and it shows. So much more than just a coat of paint.

awesome but calculations are SO SLOW

idk if anyone else is having this issue but whenever i press the “=“ sign it always takes at least 4+ seconds to calculate... I know it pre-calculates before but in order to save a calculation in the history, I have to press the equal sign. It’s literally only when you press the equal sign that this app lags. It makes no sense because I have an iPhone 8 so I’m sure the A11 bionic isn’t the problem. Please PLEASE P L E A S E fix this bug and i’ll gladly change this review to 5 stars; the rating it shouldand i’d gladly give! i love you developer pls dont roast me

Way better!

I like this app so much better than the one that comes installed on the phone. It keeps a history that I can search through later. I can even star/fav the ones I know I want to keep handy or notice I might need again. I can also slide to delete the ones I know I won’t be needing later. It’s great for all the functions I need everyday and so much more so I don’t have to worry when I need to do advanced calculations. I know I can do it all right from my iPhone or Pad so I don’t have to carry around a separate calculator in my bag. Yay me, now I have room for something else I might need :).

Not just a calculator

The Calcbot 2 is the best. It converts everything. Money in different currencies compared to your country or any country. Then measuring in units or volumes. Metric conversions from metric to any other measurement such as inches. Then there is temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Any conversion is possible with this fantastic gem. You can change the face of the calculator/ device depending which one you like. Oh yeah almost forgot, it’s a calculator. Not just a calculator but a really good one. It has a memory ribbon that lets you see the prior calculations.Try the free version. And if you like it then buy the full version.Hope this helped someone.

Became useless after a long time of flawless operation.

I’ve been using Calcbot for considerable amount of time. Purchased it before their was an option for pro. In the last year it has become painful to use. The problem is the delay when opening the app. It begins to pinwheel and freezes while it does I don’t know what. I’m usually going through quickly and when I have to wait 30 seconds about every other time I jump into the app before it’s usable, it becomes extremely frustrating. At times I just need a quick calculator, and Calcbot was my go to calculator. But it’s been such a pain and frustration that I had to leave a review. I don’t know what you guys did to a great simple and functioning app. But it’s broken, and a source of aggravation.

Don’t get this app or any app from Tapbots for that matter.

This is yet another case of Tapbots using updates to nerf apps in order to make people pay several times for the same app and to screw free users. This app in particular had a history tape function that was included to everyone, it was the only reason I got this app. Now they updated it to remove that feature and put it behind a paywall. I’ve never been a fan of feature nerfs and much less of stealth nerfs posed as updates. Tapbots is notorious for nerfing and “dropping support” for it’s apps in order to make people pay again for “enhanced” and “rebuilt from scratch” apps that are just the same as their previous versions, just with a new coat of “paint” on top. Don’t bother trying to present an argument or complaint to the dev, as you’ll only get an arrogant response.

Long time favorite calculator & unit converter

I use this app daily for calculations and converting units. It’s interesting that I tried this app years ago, and it has always stuck as my favorite calculator. I’ll try something else every now and again, and I just come back to this one. Across several phones, any expression that I’ve not deleted from my history has safely followed me. I’ve done annual inventory at a manufacturing plant several years in a row in this app, and it’s invaluable—and when I found I needed to convert an unfamiliar unit a couple days ago, the tool I needed was already in my pocket. So I felt obligated to give a review, considering the ridiculous value of this app. Maybe other calculators offer similar function, but this has the vital virtue to my workflow of feeling like a better instance of a stock application.

Limited Functionality

Used the old Convertbot since it was first released and it was, hands down, the best converter APP across all platforms. I work across multiple technical disciplines (aviation, engineering, programming and finance) and travel extensively. Calcbot is a poor substitute for Convertbot. Forget the interface, I can deal with that, but even after purchasing the Pro version of Calcbot, it only has a fraction of the conversions available in Calcbot with no way to select new units as in Convertbot.Calcbot is but no more than average when compared to other converters and a serious disappointment to those who were used to Calcbot. I’d even be willing to pay a subscription fee if Calcbot were again made available. You guys had it nailed with Convertbot and took a giant step back with Calcbot.
