TapeCalc at Mac App Store analyse

Calculadora simples, prática e funcional. Ótimo para operações simplificadas, somatória de contas a pagar, Impressão da fita etc.

Die Software hat einiges nicht, autom. Dezimalstellen können zwar eingestellt werden, diese werden aber nicht angezeigt. Punkt vor Strich muss eingestellt werden, dafür geht dann aber die Adition der Prozente nicht. Wenn man Prozente aufrechnen will, z.B. die MwSt., dann wird der Wert nicht angezeigt, nur das Ergebnis - was aber bei einer App mit Tippstreifen ungewöhnlich ist. Der Tippstreifen lö+ässt sich nicht löschen, dazu muss man die App neu starten. Also mehr als dürftig für das Geld, keine Kaufempfehlung da einfach für die Leistung zu teuer.

This app has what they call a 10-key option. makes it work like an adding machine as opposed to a regular calculator. One gets used to the adding machine with a tape. Too bulky to carry around. This is great.

At first glance this app is pure genius. Using your computer keyboard or the app’s virtual keyboard you can replace a cumbersome desktop adding machine with this amazing replica. Decimal options, calculator or ten key mode, a correction option that also corrects the tape; it would appear that this application would allow me to take my old adding machine to Goodwill and free up some desk space. Alas, there is a bug in the app that prevents it from printing. As it is supposed to be a printing calculator app this amounts to a serious problem. When attempting to use the print function a message appears stating “This application is not allowed to print. Please contact your application vendor for an update.” When I attempted to access the vendor’s site for support I discovered that the site was down for maintenance. It has remained down for the last three weeks. Three requests for assistance sent via email have gone unanswered. The workaround is to save each tape as a file in excel and then open and print the excel file. While this is not an unbearable inconvenience it’s frustrating in a product that seemed to have been so well thought out.

When you try to contact support from their web site you get “405 Not allowed error” so no help there. Was really hoping this could act like an adding machine. But it only half does. It does when it comes to addition and subtraction but with multiplication and division it behaves more like a calculator. There is a big difference if your used to using an adding machine. Needs a “=“ and a “T” button. Mac OS built in calculator app has a tape function if you hit “command T” if all your looking for is a tape fiction. Regret buying it now. But hopfully they upgrade it.

E curioso che sia così difficile trovare una calcolatrice su computer che sostituisca efficacemente le calcolatrici da tavolo. Teoricamente su computer si potrebbero fare tante cose utili (il nastro editabile, dei pulsanti extra per funzioni pre-impostate come sommare o sottrarre lIVA, ecc.). Eppure nessun ci pensa. Ci sono miriadi di calcolatrici logaritmiche, che calcolano lintervallo di date, le subnet e così via. Ma nulla che sostituisca la calcolatrice più usata, quella normale da tavolo, copiandone ovviamente le caratteristiche di base, che sono frutto di decenni di evoluzioni e che invece le calcolatrici su computer che si trovano sullapp store della Apple dimenticano. Questa TapeCalc fa qualcosa, diciamo che è sulla strada giusta. Ma gli interventi sul nastro sono un po troppo macchinosi, non sfrutta il tastierino numerico delle tastiere estese e poi per un bug non funziona il copia e incolla da tastiera (via mouse, usando il tasto destro, sì). Speriamo la migliorino, è lunica calcolatrice promettente.

I’m a picky app developer and I have no suggestions for improvement. It does what I need which is mostly just arithmetic.
