Calculator with Memory "Paper Tape"

SUMMARY: Store up to the latest 250 calculations on a virtual paper tape with this app for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Tired of the one line display on the basic iPhone and iPod Touch calculator and wish it had multi-line memory allowing for recall of the last 10 or 20 transactions? And what if you could label these transactions with names such as "Insurance", "Shopping", or "Utilities" while paying your bills?

The "Paper Calc Office" app does this and more. Though offering only basic math functions (unlike the standard calculator that offers additional features when rotating the screen to landscape mode), the paper tape features make this app useful for many situations. Besides adding and editing labels you can copy results to the clipboard or calculator, email the tape, and print the tape via an AirPrint printer.

Other features include reconfiguring the keyboard layout, dragging the LCD display up or down to increase or decrease the size of the layout and tape, toggle a key click sound, and adjust the fixed point precision.
