Cart-O-Calc

Cart-O-Calc Screenshot
Some screenshots of the app

A special purpose calculator for use while shopping. The idea behind it is to make something easy to use while wrestling with a wonky shopping trolley, a dozen tins of beans, and the three other people trying to get past. You know the sort of thing, and frankly, an ordinary calculator just doesn't cut it. This is what Cart-O-Calc is all about - stripping the unnecessary nonsense while making the important stuff easy.

Note that this app is still a beta version, and to be brutally honest always will be, so take some care as there may still be bugs. That said, I've been using it for my own supermarket shopping for some considerable time now without issue, and the figures have been spot-on. I could technically release this, but my long term intention is to develop a new, leaner version based on my experience with this one. Watch this space...

This app is currency-agnostic, so it will work for any decimal-based system, e.g. Pounds/Euros/Dollars etc

Availability & Download

This application is available for download from this site only. At the time of writing, I have no intention of ever making it available from the Play Store.

Special Notice

At present, you may download and install directly to an Android device by tapping the download link. At some point in the near future though, this method will stop working unless you jump through some hoops first and wait 24 hours. This is due to Google's plan to restrict downloads from "unverified" developers, meaning me and lots of others who would rather sit naked on a cactus than give $25, a street address, and Government ID to Google - the world's biggest advertising agency.

More sorry details here.
