What's New in Halcyon Calc

4.3

May 6, 2026

In this version, the size of the font in the display area will grow or shrink based on the user's "Text Size" setting in the "Display & Brightness" section of the system settings. So, if you have your text size increased from default, you should find that the text in the display of the calculator will also be somewhat larger and easier to read. If you have the setting low so that your text tends to be smaller than default, you should find that the text in the display of the calculator will also be smaller and show more content on your screen. Let us know if the behaviour is not to your liking and we can tweak this behaviour in future versions.

Die beste HP48-Hommage

Look & feel wie zu Zeiten der wissenschaftlichen Taschenrechner, aber mit besserer Bedienung. Einfach nur genial!

Great SW and great support

Using this app on my iPhone 14pro max is very much like holding an HP28s in my hands. 😍

Had some problems with the german locale and the calculator and it was
a) my fault
b) solved by a nice mail in less than 24 hours

Excellent representation of the real HP28s

It is not easy to emulate the clamshell HP 28s model, starting with the keyboard and following with the algebra CAS commands.
But this app has both tasks good implemented and deserves 5 stars.

Great simulator of a great calculator and a great app

This is truly one of the best. Faithful reproduction of the HP-28S, the first user RPL calculator, that keeps all the good stuff and improves on the not-so-good (the display, for example, is so much better than that on the actual calculator). Stable and well thought out, with a very polished look. The plotting capabilities are pretty amazing. Very responsive developer; helped me immediately with a workaround to a minor problem and released an update within a few days. Allows me to do anything I used to do with my old 28S, and without the creaking plastic clamshell case sound! Highly recommended and worth every penny of the price. Hope to see more from this developer.

Works well with M1 Macs

Using this now in Monterey and it works like a charme. Even the Mac's keyboard is fully supported.
