Wonderful!

Fun and easy to use. The "Wizard" feature makes it easy to learn how to use *any* slide rule. The "brakes" feature is REALLY nice and I use that feature more than I thought I would. Overall, I'm very pleased with this app. Great job!

Mr.

I've always missed using a slide rule. This app brings back good memories. It's accurate, easy to use, especially with a built in help wiz. I like the looks, ths speed & also the brakes. Clear graphics, easy to read, just a VERY NICE app to have on your phone to learn how things were done "Back in the day"! Thank you very much!! A++++

Beautiful

Versalog rule, lots of the best scales. Works smoothly. (Just noticed that swiping at the top moves the cursor quickly, even when it is offscreen. )

Pocket Slide Rule Expert RULES!

This is a great app for understanding how practical calculations were done back when America went to the Moon (1969).

Moving the body, cursor and slide is by touch. The Brakes button is awesome! Adjusting the rule precisely is easy with it. The slide rule has excellent clarity on iPhone 4.

Overall, Pocket Slide Rule Expert is a delight for older engineers & scientists who had to work with the real thing, as well as for anyone with nostalgia.
