Leave a Review HP 12C Financial Calculator
No Slideover or Split-Screen = Terrible
Digitizing 30 year-old algos scores 3 stars because a middle-schooler could have done that; unless you innovate from there 3 is the best this thing should get. From there I give harsh deductions for lack of slide-over and split-screen capabilities that would allow some actual work with it. Swipe-left backspace like Apple native calculator? Nope. Same middle-schooler could’ve done all these things.Show lessNotReallyMe
Hp 12C still not functioning on iPhone X
Hp 12C is still not functional on iPhone X other than as a four function simple calculator. Rotation for the financial functions. The developer is very remiss in not providing proper updates. I’m now carrying my original 12c device the avoidance of which was the reason I purchased the app in the first place. Apple should take all HP calculator products out of the store until these issues are fixed for those of us who have already paid for a non-functioning calculator app.Show lessdfgfgv
HP 12C Good but not supported
Good app. Looks and works like the actual HP 12C. Does not display full screen on iPhone 6, and most likely newer iPhones. This should be a simple update considering the price, but has not been updated in a year. Would also be nice to display full features in portrait mode. There are less expensive and free competing apps available with these features. I wanted to support HP. Too bad customer experience is not a priority.Show lessPAKGSO
Excellent Calculator
This makes it easy to have a full HP 12c on my iPhone and iPad. If you want pure HP 12c, it does not get better than this.
I would like to see an HP 19BII app for the iPhone and iPad. I prefer the 19BII over the 12c since the 19BII has a back button, solver mode, better placement of the enter key and a multi-line stack display as part of numerous improvements over the 12c.
For the physical calculators, my 30 year old 12c is still in use. My 28 year old 19BII has a cracked battery cover and the display is questionable. It would be great to have the 19BII re-incarnated as an iOS app. Until that day, get this 12c app.Show lessNot dependent
Stopped working
The latest fix was for the HP12C app to fix rotation on the IPhone. It was working before the update but has since stopped rotating after the update. Found that I needed to fix rotation to landscape otherwise it’s just a money calculator since only 2 place decimal. Apple iPhone 6s now updated to IPhone X. Wife’s iPhone 8 upgraded from iPhone 6 works fine. PerplexedShow lesstaxmaven18
Almost great!
I had a knock off HP 12 C on my iPhone for years. With the recent update to iOS, it stopped working completely. Just added this app from HP. So far I love it.
One small complaint is there is a shadow on the numbers on the output display. i.e. the font that is used in the outlook display was design to create a slight shadow effect. The resulting effect is that it makes the output slightly blurry. Most people probably won’t notice but as you age and numbers/letters aren’t quite as crisp, it becomes annoying. Not sure why HP decided to add the shadow effect but it would be nice if could be eliminated or at least turned off.
Overall, a good job!Show lessNtb Atlanta
Consistent With Expectations, However...
Please get rid of the screen rotation. I don’t want to be forced to physically rotate my phone to landscape view in order to use the advanced financial features of this calculator. I don’t know why it displays a simplified calculator when I’m in portrait mode. If I wanted a simple calculator, I’d use the native iOS calculator included with my phone. I purchased this because I wanted something that replicated the 12C I physically own. Or better yet allow me to lock the landscape mode in the calculator settings. It looks like people have consistently left this comment for 4 years! I’m down grading my rating to 2 stars!Show lessJSKimchee
Poor support
You would think if HP put their name on this and cared about their brand they would provide more support and relevant updates. Around any major ios ipdate - surprise! - planned obsolescence rears its head and functionality tanks. HP should be committed to excellence and not mediocrity. Having a non functional app and a 3 or lower star rating - is that part of your corporate values??? well HP you are not really winning customers or adding shine to your reputation...Show lessRevwizzle
HP 12-C
Since you updated the app for the iPhone yesterday to fix an issue on screen rotation, I can’t rotate the screen anymore. How do I fix that? Before you updated the app, screen rotation worked perfectly. It now works in portrait format which is much more limited than landscape. I can’t get it to rotate to landscape now.Show lessChi_Chi_43
Update: No update since 2012?
Hey HP, are you going to update the app? Got a weird (intermittent) message from iOS 10 about compatibility issue. Unfortunately I didn't jot it down.
Update: now that my iPhone is running iOS 11 this too expensive app is useless! 😡
Update 2: with the new 64-bit update, I'm once again a happy user of this app. ❤️ I swear I can't use the "regular" calculator anymore!Show less1BadPig
