Latest reviews

• (2017-09-13) Jeff Martens: Doesn't do RPN.
• (2016-10-02) Steve: Didn't think I would like it, but I like it a lot!
• (2016-05-27) Ethan Davey: it sucks
• (2016-03-01) Frank O'Brien: thought I'd only like an HP type RPN, but this keyboard interface is better than trying to tap buttons, and it shows some history to catch any entry errors. It's excellent for quick math, and trig functions. For financial or more complex stuff, I use a spreadsheet, but there's many times where you want a quick calculator available in your browser corner.
• (2015-11-15) Wow, this calculator rocks!
• (2015-05-23) Jorge Fonseca: RPN mode is fantastic, very good with my Chromebook, the keyboard data entry is very clever.
• (2015-02-19) Christophe Kaempfer: utile et bien... certaines fonctions pourrait encore être simplifiés et le "look" amélioré...
• (2014-09-14) Buddy Whittenburg: Great RPN calculator that works in the chrome ecosystem. It also has a non-RPN mode, but I prefer RPN. This app is really well thought out from a pure usability standpoint. Once you get the key commands worked out it will be your go-to quick calculator
• (2014-08-14) Shelby Cain: In the past I would have given this extension 5 stars. However, the latest version wants access to all data on all web sites and that is simply unacceptable. Uninstalling and moving on.
• (2014-08-14) Jerry Morrison: I liked this a lot but the latest version wants access to my data on all web sites. No way.
• (2014-06-28) Jes.e B.: Finally!! A useful RPN calculator for the Chrome environment. I'm rather amazed that instead of typing "sin" you can do this through a menu and key abbreviations. Very, very, very, slick. Would give it five stars if only it used floating decimal representation for numbers instead of the (industry standard floating binary). What this means is that only .5, .25, .125, etc. can be represented perfectly. To see the problem, try "9 8.7 - .3 -", the answer is actually zero which a three dollar calculator from the grocery store will give you. And no. Please don't "fix" it by putting a rounding operation before you display. Please don't. Leave it this way rather than rounding. That way leads to madness.. ;^} I do know the arithmetic library is a generally non-solvable problem, unless you use a language where you can actually specify the data storage format for numbers (Cobol, Fortran, Ada..) which modern languages lack, or you use a library for BCD or something which is not part of any standards. Again, despite my gripes, Thank you for the really fantastic calculator app!
• (2014-06-03) John S Wolter: Just installed it & tried some calculations I was working. It has a good keyboard feel to it. Works as expected & seems to have a short learning curve. Easy to put to work on a practical project.
• (2014-02-28) Alan W: This is now my favorite calculator!
• (2014-02-26) Daniel Kirkham: Excellent calculator! This calc can be used with just the keyboard and has robust RPN support. My only complaint is that it does not have good ChromeOS integration. It would be nice if I could unpin it from my browser toolbar and instead have it on my ChromeOS taskbar.
• (2013-08-09) Robert M. Papillion: Very nice implementation of RPN. Very, very speedy. I love the fact that it wasn't designed for mouse usage and then awkwardly adapted for occasional keyboard usage.
• (2013-03-10) Jeremy Gibbs: I always forget to come back and review, so I will give it 5 stars for the few minute test I gave it. Seems like it has all the basic things I wanted to simulate the HP 48G I used to use. (Also, to Android users: try RealCalc app)
• (2013-02-07) Ken N: Very nice, I use it all the time.
• (2011-12-15) Robert Ritter: Exactly what I needed. The best RPN calculator I've used, better than my HP. Thank you.
• (2011-12-05) Nathan Lassig: Oh man! It is so sad to see only eight reviews on here. This is an amazing calculator. For speedy calculations it is probably the greatest calculator I've ever seen. It beats both handhelds and advanced software (like Mathematica, Maple, and Matlab) by combining the best elements of both. It combines the speed of keyboard entry with the simple commands of a handheld. The only challenge is that it's a steep learning curve, but it's made easier by the constant presence of explanatory instructions. I'd love to see this as a standalone program. I'd also love to see more features. Thanks so much for this amazing calculator.

Latest issues

• (2022-06-02, v:1.240) William Wraith IV: The extension doesn't seem to launch
  I click the icon and nothing at all happens. I used it until yesterday with no issues.
• (2020-10-20, v:1.230) Marc Grossman: Negative exponents (scientific notation)
  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to punch in values such as 3.2e-6. Would you mind explaining how to do this? Other than that this thing is fantastic.
• (2018-07-14, v:1.220) James Taylor: Accessible outside Chrome?
  I would love it if this could be an application on the desktop like some other Chrome apps. I use it every day at work.
• (2016-04-08, v:0.810) Vasily Dumik: Clearing doesn't persist
  When I clear all and close extension, on next open I still see the last calculation.
• (2016-04-08, v:0.810) Vasily Dumik: Copy&paste without extra 'c'
  Please allow copy&paste with Ctrl+C/V without the extra step of entering the 'c' menu. Please also accept paste from the general buffer (e.g. if I copy a number from my text editor I could paste it to the calculator)
• (2016-04-08, v:0.810) Vasily Dumik: Currency converter suggestions
  1. Please add an option to show calculated values in currency selection list. This would allow you to see not just ONE conversion AFTER you select the currency, but see all you want without even having to do the conversion itself. That's even faster than googling an exchange rate 2. On reverse option, please a) show reverse exchange rate b) move currency name/value to the LEFT of the '<=' symbol 3. Please add currency symbols instead of those aweful 3-letter combos (will be much easier to recognize them) 4. Please align number column to decimal point (so that decimal point is on the same vertical line) so that '195.123' is positioned to the left of '0.123' by two symbols ('19') and '0.123' is positioned to the left of '0.12' by one symbol.
• (2016-04-08, v:0.810) Vasily Dumik: Allow custom currency list
  Please allow to customize the currency list — I'll only ever need 2-3 currencies and I don't want to see the full list every time I'm trying to do an exchange. Thank you!
• (2016-04-08, v:0.810) Vasily Dumik: Set Stack mode by default
  Please set the Stack mode by default after installation as it's more intuitive and clear than the RPN one. Took me a while to figure out how to do a simple '2+2' operation, which is a negative first user experience. After all, the calculator name is 'Stack', not 'RPN' :)
• (2016-04-08, v:0.810) Vasily Dumik: Typo in example
  In stackmode example there is a typo in instructions: second minus sing after 23 [-] is not needed and in fact breaks the flow. 88 [-] 23 [-] [=] [/] 52 [+] 6 [y] 0.4 [=] [=] [=] http://www.stack-calculator.com/stackmode.php#
• (2015-07-11, v:0.800) Boris Starosta: enter key
  I figured out that I was not in RPN mode. A google search revealed your homepage, there was a tab for RPN, and there were the key commands to get into RPN mode. Not sure how you can make that easier to recognize...
• (2015-07-11, v:0.800) Boris Starosta: no enter key
  using an ACER chromebook, I cannot get app to work because the enter key does not work. That would be the most central key to this app!
• (2015-03-05, v:0.800) Paul Ste. Marie: Mouse-less access to Chrome extension?
  Is there any way to pop up the Chrome extension without clicking the icon in the toolbar with the mouse?
