17bii Pro App Reviews

I love this app - just as I loved the real thing for so many years. There is one thing that would cause me to add a fifth star to my rating - haptic feedback. It’s difficult - if not impossible - to really know if a button really got pressed as it is on a real calculator. When I’m entering numbers I’m concentrating on the keyboard and not in the display so I often don’t notice that I didn’t click in exactly the right place. I have my phone linked to my hearing aids by Bluetooth for phone calls so even though I have the click volume turned to the maximum the sound isn’t audible.

Will not accept input data for Date1 or Date 2, entering data results in an error message even when using the number format from the help menu example. I’ve used this function in the past, but since it was updated it no longer works. This is a great calculator please fix this function. I will change my review to 5 stars when fixed.

This calculator app was truly the best HP calculator, not now! With the new update it is not user friendly and if your expecting similar menu to HP calculator you will become very frustrated since it is not like the HP calculator anymore.

The listed value of 0 appears to be incorrect. NIST web site gives value of 4 pi times 10^(-7) N A^(-2). Developer has responded that this will be corrected. Update April 8, 2018: it has been corrected. Update to 5.0.1, go to the Codata constants and tap Update there.

I just found this marvelous emulation if my beloved HP17BII+ and it's better -- much better-- than the real one! For those who are unfamiliar, the greatest feature of The HP17 Is the ability to write equations and have the calculator solve for any single missing variable. You can store tons of equations and they are much easier to type on the iPhone keyboard. I use it for many specialty functions in my manufacturing business including pricing of complicated custom made items. The HP17 is far superior to the HP12C (though it doesn't have the nifty key layout) and this version is far superior to the real thing. I use it several times an hour all day every day. Thank You for this!

I liked the way it worked before yesterday's upgrade. I guess I will get new batteries for my real HP17BII and go back to it.

Tired of having to repress finance then time value of money every time i open the app. Cant the developers keep the last function used versus having to emter it all over again. Was a decent app. New version ruins it

So glad I found this app. The emulation works perfectly so I always know what to expect! The latest version has some menu changes that I’m not so sure about, but probably adds usability for those not familiar with the HP. Overall my money was well spent!

I’ve used a 17BII for several years. This is better by far! More configurations and easier to use.

Update still has the flash of the new skin, and sadly the backup to iCloud does not work. It generates an error message "invalid arguments. Server message= cannot create a new type in production schema" ! Works great on an iPhone 6. I do regret though that having chosen the “old” calculator skin, it insists on showing briefly the new skin before switching to the “old” skin… That brief flash of a different color is disconcerting …. Please change in a quick update soon ! November 2017 update IPhone X adaptation is not perfect as the main display screen is a touch too high and extends in the upper area time, battery... etc indicators. No doubt an update will fix this very soon.

Update 11/16/17 Looks like the author listened to the challenges listed in the reviews and fixed the problems. My compliments to all of them. I really like the updated format it is more intuitive and easier to use - even for an old timer who was use to and really liked the real BA17 format. I had to change my rating to 5 stars and I am ever so glad I had the reason to do it. Update 10/11/17: No help or suggestions submitted but I finally got the app working after deleting app, rebooting IPad and reloading app 7 times?? But, now I find I can not use the solver editor on my IPad. There is a bar that appears across the bottom of the screen that does not allow you to access the save and exit options. Not only have I lost all my formulas with this upgrade, I can not reenter them. You would think that this update would have been tested before the new release. They have no idea the problem this causes when you depend on something to work. Anyone please help!! Ugh! New update crashes when trying to bring up solver function! All my formulas from the previous version cannot be used. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

The last update for IOS11 do not let user work with negative Interest periods while working in interest equivalents. Could you Please fix that issue. And also The new Skin do not resemble the real HP 17. That is so sad. That was one of the most appealing of this App. It was your best marketing tool. Big problem. Solver is not working???

I’m a long time user of the HP17 Calc going back to its original release. Sold my 12c to buy it. I was a android fanboy until I found this app on the Apple store. I switched immediately. Why? Because of “Solver.” I don’t have to remember formulas with solver. I just load whatever equation I want to solve and fill in the variables. Highly recommend.

The new interface is cluttered and a drag on productivity. Please bring back SUM.

It is exactly what I've been waiting for. I never write reviews, but I use this so often that I want to give thanks. Best. App. Ever. Amazing!
