Been using HPs for years. Emulation is a bit quirky. Hopefully, there is a dedicated community that will solve anomalies that ensue due to the intrinsic challenges such emulation introduces. I hope all HP calcs are emulated for history's sake if nothing else. I've bought about 5 (mostly 48/49 lineage) over the years. It would be nice to be able to audit the Prime calculator before purchasing.

Entered a multi-page program, including sub functions and so on. All my work was gone when my phone lost power! Does it lose everything each time you shut off or reboot the phone?! If you fix this, my review goes to 5 star.

It's just like a real hp48. It's fast, complete, the keys work well. Every function I tried worked just like the actual calculator. I'm keeping it. Thanks for the great program! Update! For about a year I've used this app all the time. It is in my top 5 most trouble free apps. It doesn't need access to anything. The author has no ulterior motives. It's actually 'free'!

i enjoy using this since i have been a long time hp48g user. i do miss the authentic button clicks. one flaw is that the random number generator isn't random. every time the app starts the function returns the same sequence of values. maybe base the seed in current time or something rather than returning sequential entries in an array (which is what it seems to be doing).

Open Droid48 and it's like I'm back in engineering school. Just like riding a bike, a little shaky at first but then it starts coming back. I mostly just use it for addition & subtraction that I'm too lazy to do in my head (and for tax season I'll pull out the physical HP48GX for old times sake) but it's hard to pick up a basic calculator once you get RPN into your head. Oh, right, the app. It works, most of the time. Flakiness tends to be minimal when you have it set to clear RAM on startup but then of course you lose your history. But an HP48 on my phone, hey, I can deal with the quirks.

It works just like an hp48 for everything I've tried. (I haven't tried running other software on it). One requested feature would be some sort of undo button. Since its a bit smaller on my phone, and I can't feel the keys on a touch screen, it's easy to hit the wrong button.
