### 3/5 — Multiplication

*2025-05-04*

50 x .5 = 0, but 50 x 0.5 = 25.. at least in my experience.. so there may be a workaround for others having similar issues

### 3/5 — ENG mode work wrong

*2024-08-09*

The ENG mode doesn’t seem to work like my physical  HP-41cv calculator. The point of engineering notation is to work mostly with whole numbers.  This app seems to convert everything to a decimal when an ENG mode.   For example, 123 shows up as “0.123 03” rather than “123.000 00” and 16,000,000 shows up as “0.0160 09” rather than “16.0000 06”.  Maybe there’s a setting for this, but I can’t find it so this app isn’t useful to me.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-10-11*

Can’t get this app to do anything

### 2/5 — Functional issues

*2023-09-26*

Entered 17.3, 0.92 X and got zero. Repeated calculation and sometimes it displays the correct value but if I immediately repeat the calculation, each time thereafter I get a different result and value is decreasing. 

Stack problem?

GUI looks good but math functions need to produce the right values

### 3/5 — Leading Zero

*2023-07-10*

I am seeing the same issue. If you multiply 50 by .5 you get zero. If you multiply 50 by 0.5 you get 25.  Seems like a new issue.  Otherwise I really like this app. Used a 41C since the 80’s.  Can’t use anything but RPN.

### 3/5 — 41cv

*2023-07-09*

This app no longer works on my phone. I tried deleting it and reinstalling it and it still does not work. Not all the keys are showing. It’s like it’s zoomed in on the upper right side of the calculator.

### 4/5 — Bug in current version

*2023-06-23*

I am seeing the same issue. Numbers between 0 & 1 yield inconsistent behavior. 

100
Enter
.2
X
0.000

Vs

100
Enter
0.2
X
20.000

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2023-05-28*

I’ve been using this app for years and really loved it for the familiarity of RPN and the fact that it works fairly like my HP41CV. 
I opened it yesterday to do a simple percentage calculation (40 * .25) and I get zero. It repeatedly returns zero. I guess this is the end of this great free app.

### 2/5 — Stuck in scientific notation

*2023-05-20*

Why did the latest upgrade stick my calculator in scientific notation? No idea how to switch back and no instructions provided.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2023-05-17*

There is a bug with the decimal key.  Please fix!!!!
