I’ve been using the immediate predecessor to this app for countless years as it became my primary calculator. I’m so accustomed to just using the app that my actual physical TI BA II Pro doesn’t get utilized much anymore. Being so used to the app, it was only natural to upgrade it to the new version now that the time has inevitably arrived. To be honest, I really don’t mind having to upgrade now as the apps by this developer are more than reasonably priced for the high quality that you’re benefiting from. The developer continuously maintains the app and ensures that it stays updated relative to the iOS / iPadOS ecosystem. I used the predecessor for close to a decade and never had to pay for an upgrade, but I get that the latest changes to the OS will likely make for a lot of work to ensure that the apps not only run, but take advantage of the latest features. The fact is that you’re getting a very powerful virtual calculator for around $9, which is a one time fee, one that will last many years before another major overhaul will warrant the creation of a brand new app to take its place. To my delight, the developer also chooses to not mess with subscriptions as he realizes that he won’t be benefiting his customer base. All said, I am happy to support this developer in the rollout of this rewrite because I know that I will likely be able to rely on it for the next decade or so. That’s a very good value if you think about it. I only wanted to make the above point as I read some reviews that didn’t do this developer justice. That’s a shame, so I wanted to make a point from an actual regular user as to what you are truly getting. The technical functionality of this calculator blows away any competing app to include the official one (and it’s about $6 less expensive too)! What I like best: • The “tape” is very useful to follow your work when entering many lines, for example when doing a manual reconcile. • The help features are top notch as it’s like getting one of the best manuals written on the product alongside the very functional calculator. • The “EasyCalcs” are one of my favorite tools as it makes certain functions a breeze, a good example is loan amortization. • And, I was happy to see how easy it is to resize and move your calculator exactly where you want in iOS 26. The position is even saved for the next use. The verdict is that you’re getting an excellent business calculator from a proven reliable developer, and all for a decent price. Just buy or upgrade it, like me you’ll be happy that you did!

I bought the earlier version of this calculator. The developer abandoned it, didn’t bother updating it for iOS 26, and it stopped working. The “solution”? Pay another $9 for the same thing. When I asked about it, the response was basically: tough luck, give me more money. Apparently, the business model here is: sell you an app, let it break, then charge you again. Clever for the developer, terrible for customers. If you enjoy buying the same app twice, this is for you. Otherwise, steer clear.
