Exceptional Emulator

This is a phenomenal emulator. I use an HP48GX daily for my engineering work, and have lots of customization - KEYMAN, UNITMAN, lots of applications loaded, etc.

This emulator allows you to load up any of these customizations very easily - more easily than on the real hardware in fact.

I do manage to crash it frequently when messing around with the applications and configuration in various ports, but it usually restarts back within a couple of actions.

Overall I’m super impressed with this and use it all the time when I don’t have the real thing at hand.

My go to iPhone calculator

Well developed calculator, works just like my old HP48 in school.

Good but constantly crashes

Love it, except for the fact that it constantly crashes on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Doesn’t crash for my coworker, don’t know what sort of phone she has…

Solid Emulation, but No Keyboard Support

Really great port of the emulator to MacOS. However, there is zero support for the keyboard. The basics should be mapped like the letters, numbers, and arrow keys at a minimum. For bonus, map the ‘~’ to alpha key, +,-,*,/, ‘on’ to ‘esc’, ‘<-‘ to left shift, ‘->’ to right shift, and ‘backspace’ to ‘delete’ key.

Best calculator

Solid app. If you are an engineer, don’t need to look for something else.
