Many call it the best HP-inspired calculator app. Some note a programming issue, iPad multitasking limitations, and requests for more programming capabilities (e.g., TVM variables). Overall, user sentiment is highly positive with occasional feature requests.

This is a fantastic HP-42S simulator. Very functional, I use it daily. My HP calculator has long been dead and this allows me to use an RPN scientific calculator in daily engineering tasks. Thank you.
