Equations:

･Equations are referenced by number and name/description.
･Equations are searchable and divided into chapters for quick reference.
･Equations are solvable for any variable. Enter the known variables, and solve for the unknown one.
･Avoid error prone calculator entry.
･Avoid the errors and tedium of entering variables multiple times in the same equation.
･Decreases calculation time by as much as 90% over entering the entire formula yourself!

Tables:

･Quickly lookup table values.
･Fast, easy, accurate, table linear interpolation.
･Copy and paste values with a simple tap, no transcription errors! Yay!


Unit Converter
Unit conversion is a common STEM activity. To speed up this irritating activity, StemFox offers the most comprehensive scientific unit converter available!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2023-02-06, version 2.0.2*

My kids use the calculator and I can’t get over how easy the rest of the app is to use! Nice work!!

### 2/5 — Multi-functional but unintuitive

*2022-07-16*

This is a very capable calculator - if one is prepared to slog away to become familiar with its clunky operation.

It uses Reverse Polish Notation, of a sort. In fact that is what stirred my interest. Imagine my surprise then…

For my very first experiment, I tried to calculate the square root of 7. Now, an ordinary 'RPN' calculator requires just two keypresses: 7, SQRT (in that order). Very efficient; no need for any other keypress and one of the primary appeals of RPN. Expecting the normal result, I clicked the 7 key and then the SQRT key…
 – But there wasn't a result. After trying again, I thought maybe it needed the 'Enter' key to get the 7 into the stack. Yes, now it was there, all by itself. So now surely the SQRT key will work? No, still no result. But now the entry bar showed '7()' with a flashing cursor requiring another value to be entered within parentheses and the original '7' about to behave as a multiplying operand upon whatever was inserted between the brackets!

Bizarre! Very convoluted for anyone familiar with the wonderful efficiency of (normal) RPN. Of course, I can eventually make it work; but I really don't get why I'm forced to jump through hoops which shouldn't be there at all. Why complicate it by eroding RPN's primary advantage?

Needless to say, despite lots of functionality deep within, I've deleted it. I should also warn potential iPad users: sadly, this app does not rotate for landscape view.

**Developer response:** Oh so sorry! I’m not sure you had put the calculator in RPN mode. By default it is in algebraic mode (not all people are RPN lovers, their loss!) To toggle RPN mode you need to go into settings, scroll to the calculator options section and choose RPN. Then it should work. Please give it another try!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2021-07-18, version 2.0.1*

So much content here! Works great!

**Developer response:** Glad you like it!

### 5/5 — Great app best features and layout!

*2019-12-23*

Tried nearly every calculator app out there. This one by far works the best in my opinion. I use a scientific calculator to do electrical calculations and it has been difficult to find one that incorporates all of the features I need in one calculator. This one’s loaded with great features and functions properly, unlike many other calculator apps. Hopefully the locker gets a book for electrical engineering someday😁, that would eliminate my need for one other app 😉... Thank you for your excellent and well thought out work. 

Thanks for the quick response and repair to the crashing issue, much appreciated!👍

**Developer response:** I’m so sorry! I’ve discovered the bug and am uploading the fix this week!

### 5/5 — Thanks!,

*2019-10-30*

Thank you so much for taking care of the crashing issue so quickly. This really is a great app for checking my kids’ homework and for use at my business as well.  Keep up the great work!

**Developer response:** I’m so sorry! A new build will be coming out before the end of the week!
