Ratings and reviews

Wonderful calculator. I use the physical version daily at work and it's so nice to not have to spend an additional $40 to get the same functionality at home. Update 3/11/23: new update requires you to manually locate your transaction ID through your Google account. I'm sure for security reasons, but I bought this app in 2015, 7 years ago. Do you know how many other purchases I've made through Google? There has to be a better way.

I won't be paying for a subscription to this C5 app that I bought several years ago and have been able to cross over to every phone I've had till now, I bought this app when it was new. You folks have never locked me out of it before. I'm disappointed. It's a fantastic app, but I'll function without it.

It's asking for Transaction ID that nobody pays attention to. I've also had and used this app for over 5 years now so I wouldn't know where to start looking for the ID. Please point me and other users to the right direction. This is a waste of time. Other than that the app's amazing
