Thanks to TLA Systems, the makers of PCalc for iOS, for giving me a download of the app for this review. See the full feature list here, and look at many more screenshots here. PCalc is a fantastic app, and the last non-graphing, scientific calculator app you’ll ever put on your phone. ![]() Need to quickly figure a tip, or something else? Without even unlocking your device, swipe down to the Today view and find the best-looking, most functional widget you’ll probably see on iOS 8:Įven Apple’s own Calculator app does not have access from the swipe-down Today view. I can’t say whether science and math students can put away their TI-80-whatevers, but they should at least download PCalc first. Note the Ticker Tape underneath the number up top… that’s your computation history! You can even swipe back from the results screen to have PCalc re-perform your last operations. You can do more when you rotate to landscape mode: There are also a ton of functions this app can perform that I probably would have loved in my high school Calculus class, but would have trouble with now.

It includes an extensive set of unit conversions, a paper tape, an optional RPN mode, engineering and scientific notation, as well as support for hexadecimal, octal and binary calculations. PCalc is ideal for scientists, engineers, students, programmers, or indeed anybody looking for a feature-rich calculator for the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. I liked that view so much I didn’t even think to look for different display options till weeks later. PCalc functions with zero lag, and has a really nice layout, which you can change to suit your preferences: There is a free, “lite” version available here. Below I review the definitely-worth-its-$9.99 app. PCalc is a beautifully-designed, dynamic calculator for iPhone and iPad, available in the App Store. Looking for a good scientific calculator that your kids (or roommate) won’t make off with, because it’s downloaded as an app to your iOS device? (Which your kids or roommate might also abscond with, but still….) ![]()
