Needs iPhone X Version
It looks like an accurate representation of the physical calculator, but it doesn’t take advantage of the full iPhone X screen - which means that all elements are very small. The iPad version is - of course - far more usable.

The physical calculator looked really good, and I expected the iOS version would be on a par. After all, HP has a reputation for fine, professional calculators. Unfortunately, it isn't optimised for iOS and gives a less than satisfactory input experience. It shrinks after opening so doesn't take advantage of the full screen. On an iPad the graphics are fuzzy. Given the price, this isn't acceptable. According to the release notes - this update is ready for iOS 11. I've installed it on 12.9 inch Pad Pro 1 & 2. Also on an iPhone 7 Plus. Across 11.1 beta and the latest shipping version of iOS - it is unusable. I've removed and reinstalled.Removed, rebooted, and reinstalled. When I'm able to get through the setup screens there is a network error! On my iPhone I can at least see the keys, but cannot use it. Hard to believe this had even rudimentary testing. I was unable to give feedback to HP directly. The inability to give feedback directly is something I encountered on my other HP iOS calculator purchase.
