Leave a Review HP 12C Financial Calculator
Needs an upgrade
I purchased this after I received a message that the other HP 12C would not be compatible ... sorely needs an upgrade for iOS 11 compatibility
**update: everything good now, with the app, it’s now compatible with iOS 11. Upgraded the review, but would have wanted a bit faster compatibility to iOS 11 (e.g., from the start)**Show lessPEK688
Click sound, and soon to be obsolete
UPDATE: Updated to 64 bit, and changed Key clicks to iOS default. Works fine now.
UPDATE: I'm so glad I paid what was already marginally too much for this app, and it will become useless tomorrow. Thumbs down to HP!
UPDATE: I'm changing my rating to 1 star until HP updates the app to 64-bit architecture. I use this app daily in my financial business (when my hardware 12C isn't handy) and I'm worried about losing access to this (expensive) app when iOS 11 rolls out. It seems that HP charged an arm and a leg for this app, then abandoned it.
This app is true to the original EXCEPT for the key click sound! It's loud, slightly delayed from the actual button press, and basically a highly annoying sound. If I silence the phone, there is no feedback to let me know whether it registered a button press, and I'm likely to forget to turn the ringer back on when I'm done. Update this to a simple, unobtrusive click and I'll give it five stars. I still carry my real 12c everywhere.
Edit: Just discovered you can turn off the clicks, but that doesn't solve the problem of no feedback, and the key vibrate is too long to be functional.Show lessdtemple11

Hello, Were you able to update to our 64bit compatible 12C? If you are having trouble, please contact us at ioscalculator@hp.comNeed Updates!!!
I use this financial calculator in my business. I was a mortgage loan officer for 14 years & I've been a Realtor for the last 7 years. This calculator came in handy when my clients wanted an idea of what their house payment would be. I started getting pop up notices with IOS 10 & now it won’t even open with IOS 11. I’m disappointed with HP that they would charge a high price for this app & then forget about it by not developing updates. There was one update a week ago for 64 Bit Version, otherwise, the last update before that was 5 YEARS ago!!! I still have my original HP 12C, but it’s not convenient to carry with all the time. Come On HP, Get With The Program!!!Show lesseagledancer56

Hello, Please contact us at ioscalculator@hp.com and we will be able to help you in obtaining the newest version of the app.Thanks HP for updating for iOS 11
I have been using this calculator for years since I am hooked on RPN, and I was afraid that it was going to be neglected and made obsolete with the change to the 64 bit app requirement for iOS 11. Fortunately, HP stepped up and updated this app. In addition to the ability to run on iOS 11, they also made the key clicks quieter which is nice since they were obnoxiously loud before.Show lessAustinDan
ios 11 update
This app will not automatically update. Yes, I know this is stupid but that’s how it is. However, if you delete from your iPad or iPhone and reinstall it will now work on iOS 11. Go figure. HP is not what it used to be.LMP-1
HP downhill
I have used HP products for years but no more. The quality of their products have all gone downhill from printers to computers to even the HP12c. The physical ones display goes out in a year or two. And they haven't updated the app version for years despite ios11 being on the horizon. And the app has a premium price. Fix these things and I might consider coming back but until then--adios.
Edit: Ok--they finally updated the app for 64 bit. But the physical HP12c calculator that I bought lasted a little over a year before the display went out. They should recall all of those lousy China made versions. HP used to represent quality but now they are inferior to any of the companies like asus.Show lessPseudAlien
Five stars BUT
This application needs to be updated to work with IOS latest version.
I give it a 5 because I have been using this calculator for decades; in the 80's using the hardware and later since this app was first launched.
I hope HP will be proactive and release the new version soon.RiVal-G
Great App but may not work after iOS 11
I have used an HP12C since I was in college in the 1980's. I would give this a 5 Star rating, except for the fact that HP has never updated the app and as we close in on iOS 11, it will most likely quit working.
What is most frustrating is this is one of the few apps I have ever paid for, and quite a bit at that. It's annoying that HP cannot keep it updated!!Show lessMarkAtlanta
App owner needs to comply with update requirements
Recently received a notice that my other 12 C app was not compatible and would not be available with future upgrades. Purchased an expensive version reflecting Hp as the owner. Trusted that name. Not a month later I get another not compatible notice for the HP 12 C application supposedly owned by HP. Not sure why we keep getting not able to be used for future upgrades. Why don't they just take them off the offerings. Not pleased.Show lessRodgersplace
My Favorite Calculator Needs An Update
Have used an HP 12C going back to 1983, so paying the high price for the app to use on my iPhone & iPad was worth it. Calculating home loans, ReFi and managing investments are all easiest in a 12C.
This app needs to be updated to work with future Apple iOS releases. If HP lets this app to be dropped because it can't work on our devices they need to refund at least half of what they charged users for the app.
My 30+ year old HP12C calculator works fine, my HP12C app should be just as reliable.Show lessSsquard
