my41CX

This is a beautifully designed emulation of the HP 41C, 41 CV, and 41CX. The look and feel is just like the real calculator and the functionality is perfect.

I loved it while it worked but apparently is incompatible with IOS 13.2 and app support no longer works. It opens but any further attempts to use it resulted in a return to the IOS home screen. Was my favorite but I can no longer recommend UPDATE: downloaded the latest update and it’s my favorite again. IOS 14.4 works great!

The emulator is too unstable to be useful for programming. Exiting and re-opening of the app erases all programs already written. On first use, or after memory purge, the number of programming registers sets out with the expected maximum (319) for this calculator. However, any entries made in programming mode inexplicably reduce this back to 49 registers - or less (depending on the number of program lines entered at that stage). The app comes loaded with advanced modules, such as 'CX TIME' and 'CX EXT FCN'. However, when running programs, the calculator is quite slow, even compared to the actual HP-41CX calculator from the 1980's. The stopwatch function does not clock actual real time and is thus of no use. For aficionados, the app's calculator image is only vaguely reminiscent of the original. Overall, this app is poorly put together and effectively useless for programming. Switching to the excellent 'i41CX' app instead (available from the Apple App Store) provides for a much superior user experience.
