User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise RPN Calculator 48 as a faithful HP 48/HP RPN emulation on iOS, with a fast, clean, ad-free interface. It’s described as reliable, easy to use, and a go-to tool for engineers and students who rely on RPN. Users value the nostalgic feel and the robust stack, plus strong value for the price and broad iOS compatibility. A few note it doesn't replicate every HP-48 feature (graphing, full programming) and some would like extras like haptic feedback or a scrolling stack.
Pros
  • Faithful HP 48/HP RPN emulation with a real stack, providing nostalgia for users who loved the classic calculators.
  • Fast, clean, no-frills interface that’s reliable, easy to use, and free of ads.
  • Strong value for the price; well maintained and compatible across iOS releases.
  • Portable go-to calculator for engineering work, great for quick calculations on the go.
  • Intuitive layout and sizable buttons that remind users of the classic HP experience.

All self respecting engineering school students used the hp (real hp before Compaq merger) 48 and swan song 49 handheld calculators. I am amazed how tell this emulates it. With today’s dollars the real calculators sold for roughy $4k.

This calculator is just the right mix of features/functions from the wonderful 48 series machine. For those fortunate enough to have learned RPN, you can relive that experience every time you are greeted by a need for computation.
