Longhand Troubleshooting ReportDoesn't work ... - Version: 2.5, 12/19/2007 09:02AM PST

... on iMac Intel 10.4.11. The developer states in his website that it should work on other OSX systems apart from Leopard.

Longhand ReviewGreat piece of software! - Version: 2.4, 2/3/2006 05:08AM PST

To the author,
I had to help my daughter last night with solving several equations and figuring out how negative numbers impacted them. Found this on VersionTracker and it performed beautifully. Thanks! Documentation was also very helpful!

Longhand Reviewnice idea, based on [ap]calc - Version: 2.4, 12/15/2005 01:22PM PST

I use calc (apcalc in Debian) all the time on my Linux machines. It's great to have such a neat version of it for OS X.

Longhand ReviewGreat app - Version: 2.4, 12/15/2005 12:12PM PST

This is a GREAT app.
Some problems with approximation (e.g. power(10,log10(10000000000));999999999.9).

I would love if it saved the functions you define.

Longhand ReviewWonderful App! - Version: 2.3.0, 1/29/2005 09:43AM PST

Great application; a no brainer way of doing calculations. However, I agree with ylon that a simple click to clear completed tasks would be most useful. Good work!

Longhand ReviewThis is good - Version: 2.3.0, 1/28/2005 08:12PM PST

Although it would be nice if the fractions displayed in a smaller typeface. My 10 year-old was a bit confused by this. Very, very nice idea and implementaion, though. Thanks!

Longhand ReviewVery Useful... - Version: 2.2, 12/17/2004 06:54AM PST

This is a great application.

I have one suggestion/request: I like extended mode, because I like to be able to view and work with more than one calculation at a time. However, when I type return to get a new line, the cursor jumps back up to the end of the previous line. Please fix this problem!

Another suggestion would be to have a palette that lists all of the functions with a keyword filter text field at the top. Clicking a function in the list would display the documentation for that function (in a separate pane, perhaps).

Nice big text, easy typing. How about an option to quit the app after the last window is closed?

Longhand ReviewEXCELLENT - Version: 2.1, 11/12/2004 07:01PM PST

Excellent work Scott. Superb job. He is very responsive and is building a great application. I've replaced Calculator.app a while back and now I'm starting to see much more benefit with this release (such additions as ESC clearing the input and so forth).

Much better than Calculator.app.

Improved documentation and graphing support would be nice.
