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.

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.
Great emulations
After nearly 40 years the number 9 key on my 12c doesn’t always register about a third of the time. Easier to switch to this version than take it apart to try to fix it or to unlearn RPN habits. The 15C is available in a bundle for an extra £2 as well, and having never owned one, that was a bonus to try out, even though I remain a “2 decimal places good, 4 d p bad” person. Soon get used to it as everything seems to work the same as on the real thing. Having the handbook online is another bonus as I doubt if I could find mine easily if I wanted to do something out of the ordinary.

It’s good
Better would be bundled with the Mac app and maybe and instruction set.
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.
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)
Just like the HP but cheaper
I’m using this for a financial course and it’s 100%. Thank you for creating this app. Highly recommend!
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.

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.

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!
