Ratings and reviews

Absolutely terrible. Most functions I want to try are behind a subscription paywall. Honestly, even a one-time cost would be better than this atrocious practice. Marking the functions unavailable to you in the applications would be a good warning at least. Doesn't help me decide what physical calculator to buy by being able to test it, but at least I know HP's Prime application you can make a single purchase to get the full feature set here on mobile.

The reality is, this is a great calculator app as it's the ClassPad II emulator, so it has every function you might need to (for an small monthly fee). But at least for my case, the keyboard is way too small, you might be fine with a tablet display, but not in an smartphone. Hopefully Casio can add settings to chance the keyboard scaling.

Worked reasonably well as an alternative to carrying an Algebra FX 2.0 plus with me in public; up until the current update to include subscription options, which broke the display scaling, truncating too much to be usable at all. 8,(
