Introduction

PCalc is ideal for scientists, engineers, students, programmers, or indeed anybody looking for a feature-rich calculator for the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

It includes an extensive set of unit conversions, a paper tape, an RPN mode, engineering and scientific notation, as well as support for hexadecimal, octal and binary calculations.

It's PCalc at your fingertips!

Based on the popular calculator for the Macintosh, PCalc has been redesigned from the ground up to give the best handheld experience.

  • Editable user constants which are synced automatically across multiple devices with iCloud.

  • Multiple undo and redo. Just flick the LCD to the right and left to reveal the past and future.
  • Stylish, consistent user interface.
  • Supports copy and paste.
  • Universal build supports both iPad and iPhone/iPod touch in one.

PCalc Lite

PCalc Lite is a fully functional and free taste of our popular scientific calculator for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. You can download it from the App Store here.

In the continuing absence of demos or trial periods in the App Store, the idea behind PCalc Lite is to provide something useful and free that's better than the Apple calculator, but which will also drive interest in the full version. PCalc Lite is a great calculator, but PCalc is even better!

You can now purchase all the extra features from the full version of PCalc from inside PCalc Lite. Buy them individually, or buy everything.
