When you press buttons too fast you skips number. You have to go slow. The UI is not the best. Some people say it doesn’t matter but when you use it for work and calculate many times a day it becomes basically useless. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-20, version 1.7.0* Very functional and useful. Used it when I lost my physical one. ### 2/5 — Incorrect calculations *2025-11-12, version 1.7.0* This worked on my previous phone and loved it. Now downloaded an updated version and the calculations are simply wrong. Try something else until it is fixed. ### 5/5 — 适合东方学子 *2025-11-11* 好用上课好用 ### 5/5 — Nice! *2025-10-30, version 1.7.0* It has my favorite scientific functions. Also the font they’re using is brilliant. ### 5/5 — 非常好的 BA II PLUS 的 App *2025-10-22* 不多说了兄弟们我计算量没那么大免费版够用了，希望今年的 CFA 能顺利上岸！ ### 3/5 — Précision à revoir *2025-09-29* J’ai effectué certains calculs mais j’ai l’impression que la précision dans les calculs surtout financiers ne sont pas très exactes en comparaison avec d’autres outils ### 5/5 — Solid App *2025-09-04, version 1.6.9* W Software developers, I am so grateful it is free ### 5/5 — Gets the job done *2025-08-29* I team TVM and this app has gotten me out of a pinch several times, good app but overall any complains here are likely user error. ### 5/5 — 非常好用，推荐推荐 *2025-08-22* 推荐 ### 5/5 — Works perfectly! *2025-07-07* This app works perfectly. I am a full time actuary and I use this app for work every day. It’s a convenient free way to use the BA-II Plus calculator on your phone. ### 5/5 — Free *2025-06-16* The original Texas BI calculator is expensive, this is free and does the job . Some it shows ads though ### 5/5 — G *2025-06-08* Very good ### 4/5 — Please add Modified Duration Feature *2025-06-07* The app is quite good and I like using it. The only issue is that in the BOND Worksheet Modified Duration is not available. Would really appreciate it if that could be added. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — STUDENTS: DO NOT USE! *2026-03-30, version 1.7.0* Seriously, just buy the physical calculator. It may cost some money but it will save you time compared to trying to use this app. The time you will spend trying to troubleshoot this calculator emulator is not worth your precious study time, as I have learned today. Also, the troubleshooting didn’t even work. Once I got my hands on a physical BA II Plus, I didn’t have any issues at all. The solutions are correct, and the TVM solver actually clears as it’s supposed to. Oh and before the developer says “did you try this or that?” Yes, the answer is yes. Your app is just not working! ### 1/5 — -按键失灵 *2026-02-09* ， ### 1/5 — 10^100 problem *2026-01-05* try to reach googol (10^100) and see what happens ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-12-13, version 1.7.0* Bad bad bad hard hard 2nd. Grade ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-10-01, version 1.7.0* App is not accurate calculating present and future values. Used side by side with text book examples and always came up wrong. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work the same as the actual calculator *2025-08-30, version 1.6.9* Doesn’t work the same as the actual calculator ### 1/5 — Wrong answers *2025-03-26, version 1.6.3* For some reason the answer is slightly wrong… but would seem correct but be enough off that it would be considered wrong on a test. I knew free was too good to be true! If I am doing something wrong on the simple PV>FV let me know. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-03-13, version 1.6.3* This does not work. You cannot change the payments per year (P/Y) to anything other than 1. ### 1/5 — TVM DOES NOT WORK! USELESS! *2025-02-18, version 1.6.3* Title says it! ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time!!! Garbage!!! *2024-12-04, version 1.6.3* Garbage app that’s suppose to serve as the calculator. Almost always fails. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Convenient CFA prep *2026-07-28* Nice and handy app for CFA aspirants when the real calculator is not around ### 5/5 — rly good *2026-07-21* rly good ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-13, version 1.7.0* This calculator is great ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2026-05-14* This works just like my Texas Instruments BA 2+ calculator.
