Almost Perfect. Worth the Price!!!!
Ive had this app since inception and could not be happier with it in terms of the value it provides for the cost.
A must have for any BA-II Plus user! It is the full functioning version of the traditional calculator, just mobile, way cheaper than its counterpart, and much slower upon initial startup (See suggestions below).
As noted in other reviews, all negative reviews regarding calculation errors do not apply and were results of calculator settings, just as preferences are set on the traditional calculator.
SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE:
1) Eliminate time it takes to load calculator upon start-up. This delay keeps me using the standard preloaded iPhone calculator as my primary go-to calculator, then I end up toggling between the two depending on what functions I need. Annoying, but its clearly a robust app so hopefully this will improve over time as iPhone continues to upgrade their processors.
2) Offer the option (in iPhone General Settings) for users to have a simplified calculator to open as the default upon start-up for use as a "quick calculator", similar in look and operation to the standard iPhone calculator but that switches to BA II Plus with the tap of one (easy to find) button. To avoid making any changes to the calculator inconsistent with the original, Id propose tapping on the numbers display to return to simple calculation mode since it is a non functioning area if the screen. Also, return to the current screen its open in multi tasking.
This way users could benefit from the larger buttons and less screen clutter, and ultimately so I would finally be able to quit having 2 of 20 apps on my home screen doing the same thing.
Note: This would be a welcomed feature ONLY IF this addition was a user preference setting the could be turned on if desired.
3) Offer the BA II Plus Professional in the App Store and offer existing users the ability to purchase as an in-app upgrade (a feature that could be found in the quick calculator suggested above so no new buttons would appear on the calculator that would alter its replication from the BA II Plus. No one wants to see any buttons that shouldnt be there.)
Thanks!
