Leave a Review Vicinno Financial Calculator
Still faithful after so many years
I’ve been using this app for many years. It is one of my daily go to apps. No exaggeration. I use this every single day. If you’re familiar with the HP-12c, you’ll be completely familiar with this. I’ve never had a problem with it. It just works.
A special shout out to the developer. Years ago, they gave the app a new, sleek, flattened look. I wrote to them about the fact that, due to my vision, I couldn’t see the demarcation of the buttons. The developer restored the original look as an option, which you can find under settings. Thank you for maintaining that.
Some may be put off by the unfamiliar way of doing a simple calculation using what is called RPN notation. In school we learned PEMDAS-based arithmetic notation to enter numbers for calculations. Try spending a little time learning RPN. It helps get rid of parentheses and you control the order of arithmetic operations. It’s better for any multi-step problem other than adding a simple column of numbers.Show lessHermy Two
Just like the HP12C
Having used 3 different HP12C calculators over 40 years in finance they are like my right hand in familiarity. This app is virtually the same in functionality. The only differences are the tactile feel of the keys and being able to use the ever-rugged HP12C case as a light duty hammer.Carl 894
Just like the real thing
I started using the 12C about 25 years ago. This version is identical to the physical one, or even better. It’s a MUST download for anyone who wants to get percentages quickly, or for those who want to do more advance stuff like annuities, yields, NPVs, etc.Federico Fast
Love it
Although I had a bit of trouble with it at the beginning because I’m new with 12C, I’m in love with it. It’s a very powerful calculator that I want you to have. That fact that I can perform on the go it’s really convenient. Happy with my investment (money and time to learn it)Fitillo2222
The HP-12C you should really have
This app faithfully emulates all of the HP-12C’s functionality in full-screen portrait and landscape mode. Users are able to toggle between the classic 12C UI and an updated version with improved character display.
Links to user guides are also helpfully provided.
I previously purchased HP’s version of its legendary calculator but sadly, it’s last update was over 3 years ago and doesn’t support full-screen mode in portrait. Other support is also minimal.
This is simply the best HP-12C available and will satisfy all who use it.Show lesstorbikba
You can “Count” on this one
I Purchased the HP 12 C many many many years ago. In fact, it was the first year that it was introduced. It was phenomenal then. and went way beyond anything that you could do with a handheld device at that time. This application has all of the same capabilities as the original 12 C. I use it every day not only for my commercial real estate investments but for every day mathematical and financial needs. It’s easy to use and makes complex financial situations easy to calculate.I don’t know what I would do without it.Show lessSkeeterboo
Great app, shout out to a responsive developer
This is a perfect reproduction of the HP-12C, as so many others have said. It does exactly what it is designed to do. I use it many times a day.
I want to also take this opportunity to give a special shout out to the developer. When he created the dark mode a few years ago, I wrote to say that for me the new layout was hard to see. He updated the app to make the old “HP” design a settings option. This change was made just a couple of days after I wore to him.
Great app. Responsive developer. Thanks Vicinno Soft!Show lessVery good, but white haze on keys is annoying.
I have been using HP calculators since the mid 1980’s in engineering, before TI took over the market. I still have and use my real HP calculators on a daily basis.
Vicinno’s HP calculator emulators are very good and convenient on my iPhone, for occasional use. The only gripe I have is the white haze around the characters on the keys is annoying, and makes the characters more difficult to see. Please get rid of the white haze in future updates.Show lessHP Fool
The best!
I absolutely love it and use it daily. RPN is simple once you get it, and saves so much time! For 1+2, type: 1 ENTER 2+ This is better because your mind naturally focuses on the number. So you enter the number to get it out of your head, then you click on what to do with it (subtract it, add, etc) - no more 'equals' sign. To change decimal points shown, press f then the number of decimal points you want. To clear history, press f and Sigma. Awesome.Show lessLidia Monroe
Great financial tool
I started in the 70’s with the 38E, a high quality machine and then the 12C when it came along. My business requires that I have a financial calculator with me at all times. When traveling I always brought my 12C along but when the 12C app came out I downloaded it to my phone. As with most people I’m never without my phone so never without my calculator. Though the original HP 38 series was a better machine, for reasons I won’t comment on here, the 12C is very capable and an indispensable tool for anyone in finance. Everything I’ve written about the 12C is also true if the 12C app and I love the convenience of always having it with me. Thanks for doing a great job in designing your app to so perfectly replicate the original HP product.Show lessNoteboss
