  • It just works. Really.

    PCalc has lots of features but no feature-brag: You can customize layout, appearance, behavior… to the point where any more would be satirical.

    What’s left after you have molded PCalc to the way you work is a calculator that does what you ask of it, crisply and without fuss. It does one thing well, and gets out of your way. It’s not an easy balance to strike.

  • The calculator app that is actually made by people who care about calculators.

    I’ve tried lots of calculator apps.

    A calculator is usually one of the first apps that a developer makes because it is relatively easy to make a simple calculator and skin it to look pretty.

    This app was not a weekend project or a simple calculator that looks good. This is the calculator app that is made by calculator enthusiasts. The customizability is insanely accessible. Not only can you create entirely new button layouts, but the core functionality can be tuned to fit your workflow.

    This app is created and maintained by a developer who uses their passion to directly benefit their customer. I rarely see such dedication towards providing a functional product.

    This app even includes settings for Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) calculators. A calculator workflow that is obscure, but loved by many.

    I still use Wolfram|Alpha for graphs and really complex stuff, but PCalc offers the best basic calculator option around. Even the widget is well thought-out!

  • Yes, I Paid for this App

    It does more than I'll ever need, but includes multiple memories, paper tape, RPN toggle, AND a downloadable FREE MANUAL. The manual is understandable. Finally, you can slick the interface down so you have a clean screen with the tools you don't need stashed out of the way (I dislike doitall on one screen Cuz it's cluttery). Well, a last comment: I love the 42 homage to Douglas Adams answer to "life, the universe and everything 😎

  • Would love to see crypto currency conversions added

    For trading or moving money between countries, currencies, and just doing calculations, this would be a big help.

    I already have formulas made for currency conversion, but this would be really helpful, especially since the figures change so rapidly.
  • Issue Resolved

    I’ve always loved this app and I’m still a fan, but there is an issue with PCalc not retaining calculations once I go from the app to the home screen (or swipe to another app) and then go back into the app.

    I thought this may be an issue with iOS 11 being poor at memory management, but I restarted my phone, only opened up PCalc and had the same results

    (UPDATE)

    This turns out to be a setting under the Advanced section. Once I unchecked the Clear On Open option the behavior returned to what I expected.

    My rating is back to 5 stars, though I don’t know how that option got set as I wasn’t even aware of the Advanced Settings section

  • I love the tape!

    I love the tape feature! I’m studying for the CPA exam and this app is a godsend! It saves me so much time! No more having to countlessly go back and run calls again because I think I forgot or fat fingered a number. Parentheses for calculating net of tax too! 😯 I wish I knew what this calculator could do when it went on sale during Christmas but 9.99 is way worth it. In time savings alone!

  • Worthy Replacement for HP 41 CV

    My trusty HP 41CV finally died after 30 years of faithful service. This app is a great replacement for it. It has all the old functionality and simplicity I loved but so much more. You can customize just about anything and create any functions you want. Well done.
  • Worth the $$

    I just bought this app and i have to say its great. Definitely the best calcualtor app out there. I really like the conversions, which i use a lot. A nice addition would be to add in a Construction Calculator for Feet and Inches. I would be willing to pay another $15 just for that. Please consider adding this calculator.

  • The best calculator for iOS period.

    I originally bought and updated the light version to get all the functionality. When I got a chance I also bought the full version since I hated the app showing the ‘lite’ version on my phone. Hey the developer has to eat too! This is my goto calculator period. Does everything and more. It also is the best functioning Apple Watch calculator. Buy it! The developer is great, responsive and updates frequently!

  • GREAT APP- Terribly BAD timing on my part

    This is a great calculator and I have been using the lite version for some time. This morning I purchased the full version and not twelve hours later it is deeply discounted. It would be great if the developer would refund a portion of the purchase.

    If not it is still a great calculator and worth the cost.
