Ratings and reviews

This is the PERFECT scientific calculator. I was looking for an easy, compact sci calculator that had an RPN mode. RPN is kind of fun and efficient w keystrokes and the stack acts like another set of memories. It also works in algebraic mode just fine if that is your preference. It has every conceivable function you might need as well as excellent binary and hex functions for machine language programmers. I use the unit conversions constantly. I bought the premium version just to support them.

Best calculator I've used and I've tried a few. I was lucky to find this one early and have never wanted it to have a function it doesn't have. I'm a little surprised that I haven't needed a graphing function in that time (several years) but I also have had my trusty, old TI-83 Plus handy and would always rather use that than a phone app (for graphing). Anyway. Never had a problem with this app. Will buy the paid version when I've built up enough Play Store credit.

*Edit* I see that it is now 7 years but my request, which should have been a basic feature to begin with in this otherwise amazing app, has not been implemented yet. (Prev review 18/Feb/2018) Will you please include the feature to SHOW STEPS in the calculation? Using it one can re-check if all the numbers in a calculation were entered correctly. This simple feature is available in the most basic of calculators.
