### 5/5 — 1980's style scientific calculator... elegantly executed.

*2013-06-20, version 1.1*

Has all the features I've been looking for in a calculator app, with a style that pleasantly reminds me of my Sharp EL-506A calculator that's as old as I am. Excellent work, Mr. Salanitri, excellent work. :D

### 1/5 — Wrong answers

*2013-04-16, version 1.1*

Bad app, because off perform wrong answers for example cos90 is not 0

### 2/5 — Next revision might be good

*2013-01-24, version 1.0.7*

Has possibilities. Can't get to second function option. No instructions. Does have sci notation so can get high numbers. Will hold and see if improves

### 5/5 — Maybe the best calc on App Store

*2024-02-02, version 1.1.7*

I’ve been using this calculator for around 10 years and only now got around to write a review.  In my opinion this is a great simulator of a real calculator. It does all the functions of a scientific calculator of 1980s and it emulates the behaviour of the real hardware.  Given the size of the iPhone it gives the complete look and feel of a real thing.

### 5/5 — Very Nice Addition to Your iPad

*2020-04-14, version 1.1.7*

I am an old RPN guy so I use another calculator for my personal use but found this when someone I know asked me to find them a calculator for them.

The only changes I would make (these may be things that I simply do know how to fix in a Settings menu someplace)

1) in portrait mode there is a black bar at the bottom of screen 
2) there does not seem to be a way to zoom in on the calculator 

I am using a recent iPad (non-Pro) with the current version of iPadOS & have not noticed any crashing or issues other than what I have mentioned but at almost 70 years of age my eyesight is not what it once was so bigger is better.

### 5/5 — Good looking Old-Style Calculator that works

*2019-12-09, version 1.1.7*

One of the very few vintage-looking calculators that works as you might expect. I haven't had any problems with it on iOS12 because it's 64-bit, and it really does look similar to my old mechanical calculator. Only thing I would appreciate is being able to hide the info section at the base of the screen and just expand the keyboard to cover.
