You just have to try it I don't want to spoil the surprise. Simply tap the "i" key, then "Help", then "About PCalc" and prepare to be amazed. As if this thing couldn't possibly get any better, in the latest version the developer has added what can only be described as a 3-D graphics wonderland as a hidden bonus. I never thought I would even review, much less rave about a calculator app, but not only does PCalc work like a dream, but it has such incredible attention to detail and customizability that it's actually a ton of fun just to play around with the endless variations.īut wait, there's more. PCalc is totally user customizable, enabling you to create just the feature set and look and feel that you desire.Īlso, every other calc app I have tried has either lagged or mis-registered touches, but PCalc is smooth as silk, which is crucial for a calculator. But none of that vast array of features results in any unnecessary complexity. Every feature you could possibly want, or might one day in the future discover you want, is in here. This thing is the Disneyland of calculator apps. The point being, if you don't like what you see in the default layouts, you can make it be anything you want it to be. I'll stop here not because there is not more to say, but because this calculator shines once you start exploring the many options available. All the labels for each key can be set to whatever you want. The layout customization is very sophisticated, allowing you to have keys that are hidden until the 2nd key is pressed. This took me a while but my layout is automatically saved to iCloud where it syncs with my other iOS devices. I was able to duplicate this keyboard layout and, with the appropriate theme, I was able get it looking very nice. The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 5 or later. PCalc is a universal app - one purchase will work on iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. Case in point: I love the elegance and simplicity of the original HP35 from 1972. You can buy PCalc on the App Store by clicking the button below: It costs 9.99 in the US, price varies in other countries.
With PCalc, the amount of custimization possibilities is dizzyingly vast but, once the shock of available options wears off, you are rewarded with a true sense of empowerment. As an RPN lover and HP calculator addict, I have searched for and tried most of the offerings in the app store only to be disapointed by the rediculous skeuomorphic designs that abound.
The depth and breadth of this app is a true labor of love by the author who has spend decades perfecting it (see his website). I have downloaded (and bought) many iPhone calculators and PCalc is by far the best.
