I absolutely love this app. I have always used RPN calculators and this program brings one into your phone. When I start it my phone becomes my loved calculator. Bravo!

Excellent android version of my good old hp42s. Only negative point, the graphical does not match my screens resolution. It looks a bit stretced (samsung s20 fe) Updated 4/4-2021 Selecting another skin solved the problem. In this case ovens42large matched the phones display perfectly

Just amazed. What a nice app. I also use the PC version as the default. As a result, just ordered the DM42!

Thomas has done a great job on this calc and continues to update it with valuable enhancements. This is extremely fast when run in program and is my go to calc for iterative solutions.

Works great, just like my handheld HP calculators. Could not do without it. I don't use it as much since I retired, but it's there like an old friend I can count on when I need it.

Works great! I've been an HP calculator user since the 80s, and this is a perfect simulation of an hp-42s.
