The Store/Recall functionality is awkward. The need to hold two buttons at once is clumsy.

A generally smooth and uncomplicated system is not applied to the store/ recall implementation

Love the streamlined operation

Big buttons and smooth navigation across the pages. You should apply your talents to make a better (similar) Watch experience. All too crowded and clunky.

Need improvements

I’ve been using a physical 42S and emulator on my phone for years. The down side is that the keys and display font are small. Apple default calculator app, on the other hand, have very large font and large key size, but it’s not RPN. This calculator here has the potential to be a great alternative to both, but it’s not (yet).

1. Stack display is a bit confusing. Took me a while to figure out Y is on top left corner, and then the next 3 levels up on the right. It would be more consistent if you skip the top left corner position, and just have the stack on the right.
2. While alternate functions are activated by long pressing the number keys/layer, in the advanced function keys/layer, it requires pressing ALT then another key. Why the different behavior?
3. Store/recall does not work at all.

Huh???

I agree with Talasoft guy. I went through engineering school using an HP 15 C calculator. I found this calculator too confusing to use. The developer might want to consider that people looking for an RPN calculator app are those of us who are familiar with RPN and don’t want to carry around a calculator anymore. In other words don’t alienate the people who are most likely to use your app. Furthermore, I am not sure anyone trying to learn RPN will make any sense to what’s happening on this calculator.

Awesome

Nice and simple RPN calculator. If the font size of the stack numbers were bigger, it would be perfect.

This is a really good RPN calculator, I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Great app for RPN

The rpn app I had been using for years is no longer available, so I switched to this one. I’m glad I did; it’s very good. I had a question about using it and emailed the developer; he got right back to me with the information I needed. If you use reverse Polish notation, give this a try.

Best calculator on the App Store

Does what it needs, doesn't beg you for money, stays out of your way and lets you calculate.

Thank you so much!

You are welcome :) Thank you for the kind words and using the app.

Brilliant

RPN30 is a fantastic implementation of RPN in an easy to understand and use calculator. The HP calculator emulators are good but can be too complex and have unneeded features for 90% of people's need. This will be my go-to everyday calculator.

Simple, uncluttered, responsive

Really nice simple RPN calculator app with a clean and uncluttered interface with decent sized buttons that nevertheless still has all the common functions I need on a handheld calculator. Responds instantly with no perceptible lag even on a fairly old phone. A few things in the UI are a little unintuitive at first (e.g. the location of the backspace, undo, and swap x<->y functions, and it took me an embarrassing length of time to figure out that you close the help page by swiping down), but it works well once you learn how to use it.

Many thanks for the kind words. I agree that some of the UI is a bit hard to follow at first glance, sorry about that. Hopefully you will enjoy it for the years to come and that upfront time investment pays off :-) Thanks again

Engineering gem

I have been using hp calculators with rpn notation since the 80s.
With the addition of the rectangular to polar and polar to rectangular conversion feature added to this app. I really have no need for an actual physical calculator any more.
Thanks a bunch

Frustrating

This is a great simple (and robust) rpn calculator. The navigation is smart, but not very intuitive. Needs more extensive, or easier to find, instructions.

Sorry for your frustration. Press down on the decimal button “.” and then use your finger to drag the settings bar for number of decimals to the left or right. Let me know if any issues

Very nice

I first used RPN years ago on an HP calculator in college. For the last five years off and on I’ve looked for an RPN iPhone calculator that was easy and quick to use, one that takes advantage of the iPhone touch environment, rather than one that tries to emulate physical buttons. This calculator seems to do that.

Absolute gem!

I was just introduced to RPN, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any modern calculators with it. The old calculators that have it are now “vintage” and incredibly pricey, so I started looking for apps - and I’m glad I did, because this calculator is an absolute gem! It is elegant and clutter free. I have replaced using my iPhone calculator with this one. I love the fact that it has no ads. I would definitely pay for this. Thanks and keep up the good work! :)

Very nice

What a relief to find a quality RPN calculator that works well across all my devices. Be sure to long press the Help button to read the instructions. This is now my daily default calculator when I don't have my 12C around...

Not having my HP12C was the reason for making this calculator :) Thanks for the kind words and have a nice day

Looks good but… Deleted

I’ve used RPN calculators for about 50 years, and while this one looks good on the surface I find the numbers being laid out in three distinct areas to be very confusing.
RPN is all about a simple way to enter, manage and calculate numbers using a STACK. Three incongruent numeric display areas goes NOT a stack make. And where are simple things like Swap or Roll?
PCalc Lite is a much better RPN calculator because it gets the Stack right.

Thanks for your feedback, that is valuable information. SWAP can be achieved by tapping the Y register in the top left of the screen and I will look into DROP further. I get your viewpoint on the stack alignments, that’s just going to be a point of difference and I am glad you have found an App that works for you. My rational has been to treat the stack as a second class citizen where I use / forsee others to use the calculator with minimal stack manipulation (two reasons - 1. Do it right the first time and not worry about reviewing / editing the stack and more importantly 2. For any more complex calculations that require stack manipulation, I envisioned it would be better to use MS Excel or a computer). Hence, my choice of display is to maximise the display size for the x register and make it more convenient with the y register + showing last expression. Not to say I disagree with you, I completely understand your viewpoint, I guess mine is not as classical conformance to the notion of RPN calculators, as you alluded to in your review. Thanks very much for your feedback and different perspective, I will ponder over it more. Thanks

Does the trick

Nice and simple. No adds.

Close but not what I’m looking for

Simple layout which is ok but the DIV button is off putting to me. I ended up going for “RPN Calculator” which is a little better for my tastes. I’m switching from Android using “RealCalc” which has a little more HP like interface but still has larger buttons and multiple stack display. Wish they had an iOS port.
