USER REVIEWS
"This program has an incredible amount of power for such a compact program. I teach high school math, and this program can work with all sorts of expressions, graphs, and help check my work. Definitely worth it!"

"You will love this calculator. It's powerful to calculate everything, doesn't matter you're a high school student or college student. Specially for the people who like to solve problems with graphs!"

"This app is so powerful and slick looking. It is totally amazing and what it can do."

"One of three Apps I use when teaching A Level maths. Have recommended to numerous students. Excellent."

"This is one of the best. The CAS capabilities are compatible to only two other apps, and this one is all offline and includes countless additional features. It's never steered me wrong and is the first thing I go to when I'm in a hurry to figure something out. If you're a student this is pretty much as good as it can get."

### 2/5 — Capable, irritating, abandoned

*2026-03-09*

DO NOT BUY THIS! This does calculate math equations in probably the most frustrating way possible. In calculate mode you have to hit calculate every time you want an answer, which takes you to another screen and out of your flow. The app also hasn’t seen an update in over a year. The documentation both within the app and in the user guide is sparse, dry, dull, and incomplete which shouldn’t be the case for something this old and ‘mature’. It really feels like it has always been someone’s pet project they have all but abandoned at this point. It functions but the user experience is trash.

### 5/5 — Calculatrice

*2025-11-24*

Meilleure calculatrice que je connaisse sur iPhone

### 5/5 — Infelizmente, o melhor para iPad!

*2025-06-22*

Por que infelizmente?
É porque eu uso o Maple (outro software de matemática) no meu pc. O Maple é mil vezes melhor (em termos de velocidade de cálculo e funcionalidade; não em termos de preço).
No mundo do iPad, é um campeão.
Comparado ao Maple, é muito fraco!
Pena que não existe uma versão (completa) do Maple para iPad!! Isso sim, seria um verdadeiro sucesso!
O que podemos esperar para o futuro??
Minha previsão:
Já que a desenvolvedora do Maple não faz uma versão para iPad (provavelmente por motivos financeiros); outras empresas farão esse trabalho, aproveitando essa (grande) demanda do mercado.
Este aplicativo é um exemplo disso.
Esperamos que apareça outro melhor (mais semelhante ao Maple).

### 5/5 — Exceptional service

*2025-04-29, version 2024.1.1*

I purchased this app back when I was in middle schools. I am getting free offer to upgrade to this new model since the old version was not supported anymore. Other developers don’t give as much care to the customer. Thanks for this helpful piece of software!

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2024-11-23, version 2024.1*

Not worth £19.99

### 5/5 — Wie genial

*2024-10-02*

Habe die App seit mein ältester Sohn in der weiterführenden Schule ist!
Hiermit lassen sich alle Probleme der Mathematik lösen bildlich gesprochen. wenn die Kinder mal nicht wissen wie ein Graf ausschaut einfach Gleichung eingeben und zeichnen lassen.
Jetzt kommen noch zwei Kinder die das gleiche nutzen!

Also prima Tool zum veranschaulichen mathematischer Probleme!

### 5/5 — Superb programmable calculator

*2024-09-18, version 2023.1.5*

I use this on my iPad, iPhone and MacBook all the time. It's a fantastic application offering all the power one would expect from a high-end programmable graphics calculator in an efficient and inexpensive application. I'm a big fan.

### 5/5 — Stable and powerful algrebraic calculator

*2024-07-15, version 2023.1.5*

This is one of the best.
Probably not for school work where you need something thats ok to use on standardized tests, but its great for a STEM techie or puzzle hobbyist who needs algebraic calculations, numeric sequences, matrices etc
I've bought lots, including HP calculator emulators, which have a painful UI and pixelated displays. A TI calculator emulator which I have to read the manual each time I pick up. Not to mention a bunch of Matlab and Mathematica work-alikes which are all unstable or delete your work if you press the wrong key.

### 4/5 — Klasse CAS

*2024-02-10*

PocketCAS ist eine wirklich leistungsstarke App und am iPad quasi einmalig. Sie läuft schnell und bietet einen großen Funktionsumfang. Negativ würde ich bewerten, dass die App nach einem Kauf nicht Cross-Plattform auch auf einem Mac verwendet werden kann, sondern erneut gekauft werden muss-besonders ärgerlich, da es keinen EDU-Rabatt oä. gibt. Zudem wirkt die App sehr aus „nativen“ iOS-Elementen zusammengebaut. Menüs kommen ohne Icons daher und die Maske zur Eingabe einer Matrix ist unintuitiv. Am besten einfach mal vorher die Lite-Version testen. Ansonsten ein tolles Produkt und ich bereue den Kauf nicht!

### 5/5 — Best CAS for Apple devices with iCloud and even Handoff

*2024-01-01*

I use an HP Prime Graphing Calculator and this app is the best alternative, or maybe even an upgrade, for its CAS function. They use the same kernel known as Xcas.

Though HP provides a completely free emulator for computers (25 bucks for iOS), it's frustrating to navigate through formulas in an 'exactly emulated' window with a 320*240 resolution. Besides, I'm happy to find this app supports more 3D graphing functionalities than HP Prime. Such as 3D parametric plots, lines, planes... and even animated plots!

I've also tried the app from Xcas website, only finding it's not updated and maintained for newer macOS versions for a long time. And to be honest, the original Xcas app is really hard to use.

An added bonus is that this app supports the Handoff function. It conveniently pops up on the dock of my Mac, and with just one click, I can seamlessly transition it onto my big screen.

Don't hesitate to get it! Totally worth the 50 bucks for all your Apple devices!
