RPN vs Levers Calculator
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
RPN
This app simulates a legendary vintage scientific calculator, offering a "live" display of its internal states and a virtual paper tape printer. It allows loading and running original sample programs, with advanced features that can be switched off for an authentic experience.
- Live display of stack and registers
- Virtual paper tape printer
- Email or print paper tape
- Cut/copy/paste display value
- 30 selectable background images
- Non-volatile memory

RPN-67 NP is the non-programmable version of RPN-67 Pro, the first complete simulation of Hewlett-Packard's HP-67 legendary programmable calculator for iOS. Produced from 1976 to 1982, the HP-67's capability to store programs on magnetic cards, wide array of functions, merged keycodes, indirect addressing and other enhancements made it a huge success among scientists, engineers and other professionals. Thousands of programs were written for it. RPN-67 NP allows you to load and run 25 original HP sample program cards. It lacks the program creation and card management features of the Pro version, as well as its massively expanded array of functions and operations. Apart from these restrictions, RPN-67 NP is a very capable vintage scientific calculator. Features: • "Live" display of stack, memory registers, program counter, flags • Virtual paper tape printer • E-mail or print the paper tape • Cut/copy/paste display value • 30 selectable background images, even add your own. More features the HP-67 never offered: • Non-volatile memory - stack, registers, program • Status indicators for prefix keys (f, g, h, STO, RCL, GTO, DSP) • Keycode-to-command translation while single-stepping a program • Cancel SST or BST operation by sliding your finger off the depressed key All advanced features may switched off with a single setting, allowing you to experience a real HP-67 as closely as possible.

The Levers Calculator is a physics/math calculator designed for quick and easy determination of effort force, load force, distance from load force to fulcrum, distance from effort force to fulcrum, or Mechanical Advantage. Features: - Instant calculation. - Results are copyable to other apps. - Formulas included as references. - Supports up to 16 decimal places. - Supports various units for each input. - Works seamlessly on both iPhone and iPad. - Lightweight, compact app optimized for everyday use. - Ad-free and built with privacy in mind. A lever is a simple machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or fulcrum. Classified into three types based on the location of fulcrum, load, and effort, levers amplify input force to provide a greater output force, creating leverage. The mechanical advantage of a lever is the ratio of the output force to the input force. Classes of levers: 1. Class 1: Fulcrum in the middle - effort on one side, load on the other (e.g., seesaw, crowbar). 2. Class 2: Resistance in the middle - effort on one side, fulcrum on the other (e.g., wheelbarrow, nutcracker). 3. Class 3: Effort in the middle - load on one side, fulcrum on the other (e.g., tweezers, human mandible). Mechanical advantage is a measure of force amplification. It's expressed by the law of the lever, where the moment action on both sides is equal: Fe x De = Fl x Dl Where: - F_e = effort force (N, lb) - F_l = load force (N, lb) - D_l = distance from load force to fulcrum (m, ft) - D_e = distance from effort force to fulcrum (m, ft) The effort force can be calculated using the formula: Fe = Fl x Dl / De Fe = m x g x Dl / De where m = mass (kg) g = acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s²) Thanks for your support, and please visit nitrio.com for more apps for your iOS devices.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RPN at Free against Levers Calculator's $2.99. RPN also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 30 months). Levers Calculator's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and device support (3 vs 1). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
