Niche Calculator But Cool

I love this app. I’m a geek for old school quirky devices. This one hits right at home. I use it as my main calculator on the phone. It’s not a calculator for everyone, but if you want the experience I recommend it. Been using this for quite some time.

Good however…

Doesn’t show the bottom row of buttons on my iPhone 12 mini

Not good for scientific notation

I noticed when entering scientific notation, this app will not let me enter a negative exponent. When I press the change sign key nothing happens. A little problematic when doing computations involving scientific notation. Everything else the calculator works fine.
This one issue is why I gave you only 3 stars instead of 5.

Response from developer

This is not a bug but rather the faithful simulation of the earliest HP-35, which you see when the calculator is set to "Vintage" and version "v1". According to the Operating Manual: E EX "causes no visual change in the display." In addition, "CH S must immediately follow E EX, otherwise CH S is ignored." This odd behavior was fixed by HP in later versions of the calculator.

Great app

Great simulator. However the LED display is a little dim.

Simply the best

Very fairly priced and perfectly designed and developed app. A master piece from the best.
