Description of App

Our best-selling correctable calculator for the iPad and iPhone turns 2.0!

Why do so many of our reviewers call Digits Calculator THE BEST CALCULATOR ON THE APP STORE? Its uniquely correctable tape means never worrying if you entered a calculation correctly because you can check your entries. Make a mistake?

Accessibility Comments

Most of the buttons are labelled in a way that you can determine what they are. However, a few are less obvious. Mix these in among a large number of buttons, and the result is quite difficult to use.

A more fundamental problem arises when you try to edit items on the tape. This will display a dedicated menu in a pop-up, but there seems no way to close this menu whilst VoiceOver is enabled.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Few buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

Some parts of the app are accessible with VoiceOver, but not enough to make it usable.
