*2020-05-17*

multo triste, muito caro, a imagem fica pequena não ocupa a tela tora, difícil para preciosas o teclado, pelo valor esperava mais, muito ruim, péssimo, se pudesse pediria meu dinheiro de volta....como apple deixa um App desse ruim na Apple Store

### 2/5 — Cannot access directories in iTunes

*2020-04-17*

Sadly, the web server interface for sharing program files is painfully slow. I could live with that, but this app does not share its directories in iTunes. I paid good money for this app and I need a way to easily bring my programs over to it. Please fix this serious issue and I will gladly rate it a 5. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Does NOT Work

*2026-04-21*

Does NOT Work

### 1/5 — Parou de funcionar

*2026-02-03*

O app chega a abrir como se a calculadora estivesse desligada. Tento aplicar o comando de ligar, mas não há alterações. Percebe-se que qualquer tecla acionada reage como se o comando tenha sido executado, mas não é resposta do comando à calculadora.

### 1/5 — Needs Updating

*2026-01-10*

I loved this app, but it no longer functions under the latest iOS.

### 1/5 — Trava

*2025-06-05*

Já perdi minhas fórmulas várias vezes tendo que resetar. Mesmo salvando na memória “flash” da calculadora.

### 1/5 — Satish Devani

*2024-05-10*

App Does not open up after reinstalling!

### 1/5 — Péssimo

*2023-04-13*

A cada tempo o app trava e somente volta a operar depois de dias. Toda atualização do ios acontece esse tipo de problema. Péssimo! Nao vale a pena!

### 1/5 — Dinheiro fora

*2021-09-18*

Não abre programas e nem transfere

### 1/5 — Crashed and burnt

*2021-05-09*

I was symbolically solving the system of equations x^2+y^2=r1 and (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r2 subtracting one from the other then expanding, collecting and solving for y then substituting and solving for x then the app froze solid and I had to remove it and reinstall it again losing all of my data. YIKES!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Very slow & unstable

*2020-12-08*

Very slow to respond to key pushes, code is unstable and often crashes.

### 1/5 — se cuelga

*2020-10-10, version 1.3.3*

sorpresivamente deja de funcionar.  la única forma de hacer que funcione de nuevo es desistalar la app y volverla a instalar.

The app worked perfectly before until Apple updates iOS to version 17.7.  Reinstall the app doesn’t help.

O App funciona muito bem. Até o momento, me parece tão bom quanto a calculadora original.

### 5/5 — Does not work

*2022-01-02*

Perfect

### 5/5 — Excelente!!!

*2021-05-09*

Já havia avaliado, e volto a avaliar após a atualização que resolveu a lentidão nos comandos. Aposentei minha HP física. Essencial para meu trabalho, onde uso constantemente. Transferi meus programas sem problema algum. Vejo avaliações negativas, por usuários ignorantes que não sabem utilizar o produto. Agradeço aos desenvolvedores e peço que mantenham atualizações constantes para aperfeiçoar ainda mais o app. Grato!!!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2021-04-24*

The buttons are easy to press and the calculator works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Full  iOS 14.4 funciona espectacular

*2021-02-22, version 1.3.3*

Solo desinstala la Emu50G del iPhone. Y vuelve a instalar desde el AppStore. La App funciona una maravilla.

Excelente herramienta de trabajo. ☝️

### 5/5 — Revised review!

*2020-04-19*

After getting immediate feedback from the developer, I am able to transfer files via the web server without any problems. This is a great app and I look forward to seeing future enhancements. Great job!

### 5/5 — Access to the file manager to install programs

*2020-04-11, version 1.3.3*

carry out an update to be able to install the programs in the libraries of this calculator and have a connection with the file managers of the iPhone or ipad, since third-party programs are the main virtue of this calculator
