Pros and cons of Area Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

Area Calculator app good for

Love the looks love the interface runs well on my iPhone 5s, have had it for a long time and glad its been updated.
As an engineer, I routinely compute the area of common shapes, especially when working in the field. This app is easy to use and accurate. I am sure I will use this one often. Thanks.
Provides more calculation formulas than I was expecting (and honestly, didnt even consider). Now I dont have to memorize some of the forumulas!
Developers response to Bands2010: The review by Bands2010 is inaccurate. Area Calculator does indeed do everything in the description. Unfortunately, irregular shapes are not included. However, we have tried to be upfront with everyone and list all the shapes included. We have received many kind words from happy users around the world. It is unfortunate that one false review can turn away many that may otherwise benefit from such a useful geometric calculator.
Need it to update to i06 update. Tried to open and it just closes as you probably know. Please update ASAP.
Great app and I use it all the time, but the App will no longer open now that I am running iOS6. Please update ASAP.

Some bad moments

I bought it for school and it didnt let me give enough info about the shapes. For example a circle I had the volume but there was know volume spot.
It didnt do what I understood by the description it would. I need to calculate irregular areas and this does the same as your high school math class AND its overpriced.
