GraphNCalc83

I love this calculator! I’m a math teacher and have been using it for years. It looks and works just like the old TI-83 so there is no learning curve if you are used to the original. Because of the touch screen to make zooming and tracing easy the graphing is much better than the original and, obviously, much faster. The last update changed the display so that the lines of entries alternate colors, which I don’t happen to care for, but that is just a personal preference. The developer did (does) a fantastic job with this app. I don’t know how long ago I wrote the above paragraph, but it’s been several years at least. Since they asked, I’ll just say for the record that I’m still using it and I still think it is a great app. They asked again, and I will echo what I said previously. However many years later it is—and I’ve lost track—I’m still in love with this calculator. I use it almost daily, even though I’m no longer teaching. I still do some programming (project Euler mostly) and it’s hard to say how handy this calculator is.

I have said this before and I am saying it again be because this calculator just keeps getting better. Most likely it’s all you need! Ohh yess....did I mention the chemistry and Environmental engineering utility! From personal experience this is an ample scientific calculator that can get you through graphing, and bio-statistics,and physics. You will never misplace it, as it is on your tablet and smart phone in a pinch. The programmers care about your user experience, readily offering tips and promptly answering troubleshooting/ how to use the functions. The built help menus are unparalleled. This is one app I won’t be deleting to free up space! Also I think the user interface is extremely intuitive and rich with extras that you simply don’t get with all the handheld calculators that it replaces. Lastly it actually works natively smooth as if it belongs in iOS on your device screen.

I have been looking for a truly powerful calculator for a long time. I've tried variations of the HP top of the line and several were very nice but as I said in one of the other reviews that calculator emulators are great for what they are but the idea is to serve your needs. If a calculator still retains all of the disadvantages of the original then it is not an advancement. This calculator not only provides all the capabilities of the HP that inspired it but also eliminates many of the physical calculator's cons. Ever had a calculator that did everything you needed and more but required a book and a lot of memory work to do any of the sophisticated things? This one does not have that drawback. There is context based help available at the touch of a button. Now you can actually use the full power of the calculator without it becoming a research project. To me, that essentially made the more advanced the calculator the less useful it became. Not so here. I applaud the developer. We don't need exact replicas of calculators, we need something to do a job with the least effort on our part. This is a giant step in that direction. On top of that, the developer continues to add additional enhancements without resorting to “forever pay”. This is truly a rare gem. Calculators are not sacred but my time is. Get this. You won't regret it. Now I can get on with my work!
