This app far exceeded my expectation. I was just looking for a widget calculator but was surprised with the main app options and layout. The preview panels do not show the variety of layouts and themes. This thing is a very powerful RPN calculator with variable stacks and landscape mode. Nice job but I would redo the tile so it doesn’t just look like a simple four function calculator, and the preview panels should show the theme options or some of the more interesting features. - Steve, Brisbane AU

Does everything I need, behaves exactly as I expect. One of the greats.

Apart from being the same great calculator it's always been, this version adds a Today widget in Notification Center, so a calculator is just a swipe away, whatever app I'm in. So wonderfully convenient.

This is a great calculator that handles everything you could possible need, right down to rearranging the calculator buttons on-screen. In addition to RPN, scientific, engineering and binary/hexadecimal arithmetic, it even includes unit conversions and universal constants. Highly recommended!

I bought PCalc for my first iPhone 3G; several iPhones and more than 5 years later it’s still my go-to calculator. Highly featured & well designed. The conversions and constants are very useful.

My old school calculator died recently. While there's no way they'll ever let me use PCalc in my exams, at all other times PCalc is my sweet sweet RPN sugar. Plus it can do things like modular arithmetic and cope with base 16 and all sorts of cool stuff like that. In RPN. <3

Unquestionably, PCalc is the best calculator app out there for the iPad, which doesn't actually include a native one (unlike the iPhone). Love the theming. Love the conversion tools. Love the tape feature (which I find extremely useful). I personally have a more casual use for it. But for anyone who works off a calculator day–in, day–out, then PCalc is virtually everything you'll ever need out of one! Kudos to the developer for bringing such a great app to the iPad, and making the binary universal too.

PCalc is a very useful tool.

Like they say with cameras, the best calculator is the one you have with you. PCalc gets heavy use on my iPhone. It's very easy to get the best out of and I can't recommend it highly enough as a far more capable replacement to the calculator that comes with the iPhone.

This is a great RPN calculator, use it all the time! I tried several others and found this to be the easiest to use with the touchscreen. I like it better than my real HP33s ($100)! If you need an RPN with you all the time then pay the ~$10 and enjoy. My favourite settings are Twilight/Sharp/2line. Thanks TLA. (ps, took me a while to get the 42 joke, I must be slowing down a bit)

PCalc is the calculator you wished Apple had shipped with the iPhone. It's solid and beautiful. It has a great range of features and will cover 90% of your needs in algebraic or RPN. Given its price, I was disappointed that it's not closer to 95%-100% of my calculating needs. There's no list or matrix support. There's only the one memory slot. I'd also have quite liked functionality to make a custom button layout (through a procedure emulating the iPhone's springboard editing, perhaps) I was confused for a while by the "Exp" button - it does not, as I expected, perform e^x, but *10^y. (e^x is available, but is hidden away in a 2nd screen in horizontal layout) There's no documentation in the app or on the website describing what the buttons actually do. Two-line mode is available and useful for RPN, but the second line doesn't appear to do anything in algebraic mode. Two-line calculators I've come across usually show the calculation being entered as it is typed in the top line and the result in the bottom line when the user hits =. For all that, though, this is a fantastic calculator app for the iPhone, and it has managed to replace my TI-83 for my calculating needs at home and at work.
