Amazing

Don’t underestimate the time and love this guy has/is putting into this App. It’s one of the slickest pieces of coding I’ve seen in my (now retired) 40+ years in the IT INDUSTRY.

Absolutely unique

All the old devices that I once in a while am getting nostalgia because I knew I could NEVER use them again. Well, fortunately I was wrong – thangs to this absolute rocker of an emulator. Thank you!

To everyone complaining: please mind the hassle that comes with emulating devices from back to the 1980s to a modern iOS device. I thought it to be impossible until now.

Good emulation, but not perfect yet

The bug in calculating logarithms in the program mode (Sharp PC-1350) was fixed in 2.7.0-2.8.1. However, version 2.9+ (currently using 2.9.2) introduced an overheating/battery drain issue, the phone now gets hot in minutes after the launch of the app, and the battery goes down at around one percent every 2 minutes. That was never an issue before. I updated from 2.8.1 to 2.9.2 around 12 hours ago, and literally yesterday it was fine, and today the app drains the battery and overheats the device. Could you please look into that, have you accidentally introduced an unnecessary heavy workload or something? iOS 16.7.2/iPhone 13. Thanks!

Great when it doesn’t crash

So much potential but plagued with too many crashes to be able to really rely on.

Keep up the good work- hopefully this bugs can be squashed.

Simply the best

This is the most great app for those people that love the vintage calculations. I am a collector of these calculations but the app makes it easier to use all of the functionality. Thank you to the developers
