I have given the automated application some thought. And while I use my own form of automated application, in excel, I wouldn't use the same form for my measurers.
What I would like to see available to them is a form that they fill in with all of the numbers they generated, and the form would kick back to them if anything "looked" off. Maybe some sort of "warning" back to them that the numbers they have entered don't agree with the correct calculation. I wouldn't necessarily want to give them the correct numbers, as that does not teach them how to do the work when they don't have the crutch of an electronic buddy to help them.
We all needed to do the calculations by hand when we started learning to measure. While things that help us calculate are fantastic time savers, we want to make sure our measurers know and understand the principles of what we do. I believe that when I get those cringe worthy applications, that is a measurer who doesn't quite understand what is being done and why it is being done.
But maybe I am being short sighted on this. An application that is filled in by a computer program would certainly warrant the summary portion being filled out. I don't always see a detail summary from my people.
