Leave a Review PCalc
Needs TVM capability
I’ve been using PCalc for years and it’s a great calculator and extremely customizable. Unfortunately for far too long it’s not offered even a simple time value of money feature.
Please please please finally add a simple set of built-in loan calculation features. I have no doubt of your ability to add this feature, it seems the only thing stopping it from happening is the developer is being a purist and simply doesn’t want to.
Adding TVM would makes PCalc perfect!Show lessBobP63
Incredibly cool, deep and reliable
I’ve found no calculator app even close to this; and I went through a lot of them before finding it.
In addition to being a great calculator in general even for long numbers, it has a deep set of conversions, constants and functions.
I’ve been using it for years. Works great on iPad, iPhone and even has a Apple Watch app that works.
I’ve never been caught upgrading iOS and finding its broken afterwards, unlike way too many apps.
I use it so much it’s on my menu bar on my iPad.Show lessOregonWave
Thanks Mr Thompson!
Got quite a laugh reading the release to find the addition of the Hackett #.
You’re the best for many reasons, not the least of which is your willingness to participate in some shenanigans every now and then.
For anyone who hasn’t bought yet, do so immediately.Fraggin' awesome
Simply the BEST Calculator!
I have probably bought over 14 calculators for IOS, and downloaded to test an equal number. If I had downloaded PCalc first, I could have saved myself time and money.
I really appreciate when a developer allows me to customize their app. After customization, PCalc is MINE. It looks and works as if a developer had written it for me and my tastes.
I LOVE PCcalc! It has ‘pride of place’ on all my devices.Show lessJoyceM14
Five stars!
I purchased the full version and had a question on some usage. Sent an email through help option and got reply within few minutes.
Extremely useful for engineers!shrreevig
Great calculator app, but
It's $10 up front and the dev locks some other features behind another paywall, this time described as a "tip" jar.
Here's the thing: it doesn't count as "tipping" or "donating" if you have to pay that money to access other features. I paid $10 non refundable, I wasn't expecting to be asked to pay more. For this reason I am docking a starShow lessLeeTheMusicBee
It can be anything you want it to be
I have downloaded (and bought) many iPhone calculators and PCalc is by far the best. The depth and breadth of this app is a true labor of love by the author who has spend decades perfecting it (see his website). As an RPN lover and HP calculator addict, I have searched for and tried most of the offerings in the app store only to be disapointed by the rediculous skeuomorphic designs that abound.
With PCalc, the amount of custimization possibilities is dizzyingly vast but, once the shock of available options wears off, you are rewarded with a true sense of empowerment. Case in point: I love the elegance and simplicity of the original HP35 from 1972. I was able to duplicate this keyboard layout and, with the appropriate theme, I was able get it looking very nice. This took me a while but my layout is automatically saved to iCloud where it syncs with my other iOS devices.
The layout customization is very sophisticated, allowing you to have keys that are hidden until the 2nd key is pressed. All the labels for each key can be set to whatever you want. I'll stop here not because there is not more to say, but because this calculator shines once you start exploring the many options available. The point being, if you don't like what you see in the default layouts, you can make it be anything you want it to be.Show lessFrank Hellwig
The best calc app.
I enjoy using this app for the following reasons: the multitude of interchangeable appearances, colors, styles & layouts, converting units, calculating in normal - engineering - scientific - accounting - fractional modes. I dislike viewing the delayed branding on startup, which inclines me to use my native iOS calculator app for visual simplicity. I would also prefer one less step to enter fractional calculations.Show lessMICHANICAL™
Just like your default calculator! Do not buy!
I am disappointed in. Is app. This app was in the App Store for the Apple Watch and I thought it could do the scientific calculations from the Apple Watch but you can’t. You can only do simple math problems with multiplication, addition, subtraction, division and tip calculations, etc,. I thought that it could perform scientific calculations on the watch (since it was in the Apple Watch App Store) but that’s only if you used you iPhone which is stupid because your iPhone can already do that out of the box. I think this app is well overpriced and it doesn’t offer any special features to carry a price tag of $9.99. I wished that I could get my money back. It can’t even do simple currency conversions! It’s just an overpriced calculator app that I’ll never use on my iPhone 10s because I’ll just use the default calculator.Show lessbryan.y.yu
Developer Response
As I explained already via email, the Apple Watch app can do scientific calculations - go to the third page, tap “Tips” and use the Digital Crown to change to the scientific sections. The iPhone can do a lot more as well, including currency conversions. Tap the A>B button to go into the conversion section and select “Currency”. Also, if you look in the settings via (i), you will see much more functionality than the standard iOS calculator.Personalization
Just, the themes!! Go from classic Mac & Tron (mechanical keyboard sounds too!) all the way to the wonderfully plastic-y round buttons of 2006.
The app icons come from a variety of backgrounds, including: classic movies, internet communities, Trans pride, and a good ol' smattering of colors.
Oh, by the way, did I mention the pandas? Pascal is my favorite mascot of all time. Their expressions are so vivid and clear, I am genuinely filled with joy every time I see them. And the sticker pack is to die for!!
Please, play around with this app. I don't use calculators often, but when I do, I choose PCalc.Show lessPi_Phi
