I’m looking for something better.

Thanks for the feedback and hope you find what you are looking for. I believe another popular model is Free42, perhaps try that one. Thanks
Very good calculator
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words :) Glad you like it. And yes, the initial discovery unfortunately takes a bit to get used to (for anyone reading this - hold down on the HELP button to bring it up and then flick it away to get rid of it). I agree 100% with you. Unfortunately it was a trade off between guiding the user with more contextual help buttons / options. vs. using all screen estate for the calculator (I chose the latter).
Nice clean graphic
The RPN calculator I really want is a direct adaption of the native IOS simple and scientific calculators (which are based on the physical Braun ET 22, designed in the late 70s, early 80s)

Many thanks for the review and insightful comments. A couple of others also asked for the DIV as "/" and on the same row, but the issue is I have an oversized "ENTER" key so currently no space. I will keep thinking of this and let you know if an alternate approach works. I will definitely read into the Braun ET 22 - that's very cool stuff to know! I also really liked the native iOS calculator experience, hence this app (which as you said, is not a direct adaptation) :) Have a nice day.
Great App
Response from developer
Thanks :)
User friendly
Simple interface not crowded like some of these HP calculator replicas. A lot of functions available and you can customize your most frequent buttons!
Well done

Many thanks for your kind note :) Have a nice day
Looks great
Thanks, Ashok. Still not working for me, though!
(No landscape view and keypad is not fully visible).
I have received a kind email from the developer, who notified me of the update. Unfortunately, when I tried to download it, I was informed it was not compatible, so I took the option to download the latest compatible version as prompted, hoping it might have been fixed at the same time.
Sadly, the problem has not gone away.
Although it is impossible to use, I have changed my review from 1 star to 3, on the basis of the kindness and effort this guy has put into producing what I'm sure will work well for anyone with the very latest iPad.
Dear Ashok; if you want to give me a brand new iPad, I'll happily test your latest version! ;-). Best Wishes. WS.

Dear Whapper Stan, Hope you are well. It took me a bit of time but I have created version 2.0 that now works very well for iPad. I would much appreciate if you could try the new version and hopefully you will like it. My best wishes, Ashok
Refreshingly simple
Please consider making the alt function labels brighter, as I find them difficult to see in less than optimum lighting.
Otherwise this is the best RPN calc I’ve come across. Thanks!
Response from developer
Dear Alienpup, Many thanks for the kind words! And also for the feedback. The function letters were definitely too small. I have updated the App to version 2.0 — please try it and please let me know if it it is an ideal font size now :) Best wishes, Ashok
Superb graceful RPN calculator
Loads fast and looks great.
I would make the following substitutions:
(1) Drop the radical, which can be achieved with 1/x and y^x
(2) Drop % and T% which are easily replaced with arithmetic operations. Maybe drop D% too although it's more useful.
(3) Add the basic trig functions, at least sin and cos (with tan available as sin/cos). asin and atan would be helpful too, with acos available via asin.
That would be 4 dropped and 4 added and a net improvement to the calculator adding capabilities that are really not available at the cost of modest conveniences.
Response from developer
Many thanks for the review and feedback :) Thanks for the comments, I agree with you on some of them. %D is my favourite function (since I’m always calculating how much something has increased or decreased), but I agree that % and %T are not useful enough to be included so I will replace them with Sin and Cos in the near future. Also, I’d be happy to do a custom calculator for you with asin atan etc. and any other functions you want - just drop me an email at ashok.khanna @ hotmail.com. All the best and take care
Elegant Programming
