RPN Heaven

I retired my HP35 when I got this app. Itโ€™s so much more efficient doing complex calculations. Love it!

Very useful

It's convenient to have most of the everyday functions of the hp48 with some added features (like more visible stack, bigger keys, undo, ....).

My favorite RPN app.

Very Good hp 48/49 Emulator

All self respecting engineering school students used the hp (real hp before Compaq merger) 48 and swan song 49 handheld calculators. I am amazed how tell this emulates it. With todayโ€™s dollars the real calculators sold for roughy $4k.

Goldilocks RPN

This calculator is just the right mix of features/functions from the wonderful 48 series machine. For those fortunate enough to have learned RPN, you can relive that experience every time you are greeted by a need for computation.

My Go-To Calculator!!!!

This app is so good that I almost donโ€™t miss my old 48. The haptic feedback upgrade was a great addition. Love that this still works on IOS18.2.
