Picocalc for Negative User Reviews

✓ There IS more to it!I was all ready to write a horrible review, but it actually isn't just an uber-basic calculator with text instead of symbols. The app's icon will display the result of your calculations (notice the figure in the icon up there is pointing at nothing) right on your home screen. As long as you aren't keeping track of anything too complicated, this might actually come in handy in various situations- especially if you don't have a pen and paper handy (and why should you? You have an iPhone!) More convenient than whipping out Notepad, I imagine. Meant to do one thing, and it does it well. Can't hate on it too much..LiquidBeefVersion: 0

✓ Don't BotherI downloaded this program, and it works as advertised, but I deleted it. The native calculator with my ipod touch is much better and quite accessible. And now that math functions have been added to the native calculator and it can be used in landscape mode, there is really no reason for this program to take up valuable memory. Since Apple has upgraded the calcuator in software version 2.0, those developers wanting to submit a calculator program to the App Store really need to offer something unique. My suggestion is to leave this program in the App Store..Kaden22Version: 0

✓ BrokenThis little app used to be brilliant, now it is broken and I can’t seem to find any instructions about the problem, or how to fix it. There’s now a message appears on the home screen, saying ‘Please grant permission to display badge’. I have gone into settings and made sure the permissions are correct to display a badge, but still the message remains. Also, pressing the + or - key does nothing. Is there a fix for this?.Alibear57Version: 3.0.0

✓ Could be UsefulThis is a simple Calculator that makes the current answer to a sum visible on it's own home page icon. (view the second sample image) It could be used for many things, like keeping track of the money you are spending on a shopping trip, for stocktake or for scoring. Minor niggle, which the author blames on the iPhone, is that it cannot display a negative number on the icon. Despite the appearance of the screenshots it runs in English too. I am not sure if the previous reviewer has even tried it? I would like to see it modified so that I could use it to keep track of my three kids pocket money. That would require 3 instances of the App currently..ProofreaderVersion: 0

✓ Nice, but needs workThis is a clever idea, but the name is confusing. It should called number tracker or something like that. Basically, it is used as a tracker. For example, say you only wanted to consume 1600 calories per day. You might start with 1600, then every time you ate something, you could just subtract the number of calories. This way the program tracks how many calories you have remaining. The program icon on your home screen lists the current number (calories remaining in this case). You could do the same thing with your monthly entertainment budget or any other number you wanted to track. There are some problems. The main issue is that every change boots you out of the program. If you have just one change, that's great. Otherwise, you need to reopen the program for every change. This alone is enough for me not to use it. Another problem is that it cannot display 0's or negative numbers. The developers say this is an Apple limitation, but I wonder if there's a way around it (for example, changing the numbers to numerals (characters), then displaying them, or otherwise displaying negative numbers with a red background and positive numbers with a green background)..David SolbergVersion: 0

✓ Very easy and simpleI like this app simply because, it is easy to use, and it does not take any time to learn where the buttons are. although other may find that it is a waste of time, it is perfect for keeping a running total, which is what I think its purpose is..Dented42Version: 0

✓ HelpfulI find the way it keeps the number set helpful. And only having 3 function buttons is nice, too, since all I'm using it for is to add and subtract. I was looking for an app that I can keep track of income & expenses, one at a time, by just giving each item a name, value, and whether its a purchase or sale, that will keep a running tab, but this is the closest thing I've found so far.AMPro1989Version: 0

✓ What am I missing?A clear example of everything that is free is not being good for you..Moggy MoggVersion: 0
