PCalc

The app doesn’t resume my calculation when I go back and forth changing between app (multitasking). It kinda like telling me to input new number but I already was halfway in my calculation. Example I input 35 x 5... (5 isnt complete and I had to switch app ie my bank account). After switching from my bank acc to pcalc, I cant resume 35 x 5 to 35 x 5.20 but instead telling me to put new inputs! Its so frustrating!

Really like the clean and functional calculator

Well, that’s part of great app.

Regular updates, responsive reply from the developer, great app!

By Steve Jobs' definition of great product.

needs to be fixed

PCalc is the new app I use vs PowerOne that is a subscription not worth it.

(the developer response was correct it was totally my fault, I missed that setting, thank you!) Easily the best calculator for iPad that money can buy, I just wish that the setting for the thousands separator worked as intended. Currently if you select “commas” to separate every 3 consecutive digits, the app never actually does it. It’s my only gripe considering I work in aviation, long numbers are common & I dont like seeing long strings of numbers without anything to separate them, they all just start to blend together. If I’m doing something wrong please let me know.

I got this calculator years ago but deleted it because I didn’t like it. I downloaded it again to give it another try but still left disappointed. The iPhone is much more powerful than a Casio scientific calculator yet this app acts like an HP calculator made 20 years ago and doesn’t work as efficiently as a Casio calculator built in the last 5 years. I cannot input long calculations in one go, you must input everything one register at a time which is time consuming and outdated. Also the calculations are very limited. If the fraction has a square root then the answer will be either given in decimal or an approximated fraction instead of an exact value with the square root still intact in the answer. Also the multiline support is very limited. I can’t show my previous calculations except on the outdated tape mode instead of displaying it right on the multiline display like a normal modern Casio calculator. Furthermore, unless I specifically go into complex mode and input data in an inefficient way I can’t do complex calculations. Typing in root(-1) results in an error instead of the calculator outputting “i” like it should. While this layout and methodology might have been impressive 20 years ago, it is very lacking in our modern time and fails to properly utilize the power of modern smartphone processors and massive memory availability. Note: I am better used to the interface now, and while it takes more input time for long calculations, it’s still quite handy in its own way. I changed my rating to 4 stars
