Latest version is buggy

Latest version regularly changes RPN mode in settings back to algebraic mode without any user input.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting this issue. Another user had already contacted me directly through our website's Contact form about the calculation mode occasionally resetting to chain mode (not algebraic as mentioned). This was addressed in version 4.76, which is now available in the App Store. For the fastest response on any matters, I encourage users to reach out through the "Contact" link on our documentation website. This allows me to gather the needed information and address concerns quickly, as happened in this case. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. It helps ensure CALC 1 continues to serve its global user base well.

Asking for review

Just bought this app and you’re asking for a review? I find this unacceptable.

Response from developer

We apologize for the premature review request. We've since updated our app to ensure review prompts only appear after multiple uses. We value your feedback and have used it to improve the user experience. We hope you'll give our app another try with these changes in place. If you have any other concerns, please contact our support team. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm an old RPN guy

I love this app. It works just like my old HP calculator.

Non stop pestering for a review

I’ll be switching to a calculator that leaves me alone.

Response from developer

We sincerely apologize for the frequent review requests. We've taken your feedback seriously and have significantly reduced the frequency of these prompts. Our updated system now ensures users have ample time to use the app before any review request appears. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve. We hope you'll consider trying our app again with these new changes. If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our support team.

Seems great, but asked for a rating 3 seconds after buying

If I wanted to be slowed down by popups I'd use a calculator with ads. I've owned this app for all of 3 seconds and it's asking for a review, so here's my review so far.

Response from developer

Sorry that happened! It is definitely not my intention to ask for a review so soon.   I't looks like there was a change in how the "StoreKit" "asks the user to rate or review your app, if appropriate." I am working on a general update to these iOS changes and will make sure this does not happen again.

Perfect for teaching my finance students

I teach an upper lever finance class at a local university. The Finance department requires that the students use TI BAs, so I use that primarily for in class examples.
When I prepared for class and write my exams, I always work the examples on CALC 1 to verify my answers. I love how I can export the history details to Notes.
And I also have the inputs for the TVM calculations recorded (N, I/YR, PV, PMT, FV, PYR, CYR and BEG/END) so I can double check all my inputs and answers. Just having the values shown right on the keys prevented a lot of miscalculations. I like that this app also has a 12C that I am very familiar with having taken the CFA. I’d give it an A!

Doesn’t CALC correctly

I have been using the HP 12C for 30 years, and thought this app could replace the hardware. Nope! It simply doesn’t calculate correctly, sometimes returning different answers on the same data entry. Shame on these guys.

Outstanding

I usually use an HP 12CP but this has replaced that long standing relationship. Seeing the value on the keys is worth the price of admission. I am amazed by the scope of this app. HP should hire the developer to design their next product.
