I have that very app. And since I've been studying for the Extra class
amateur exam, I've been using it a lot. I wanted one of the official HP
versions, like the 41c, but they're $19. I desperately wanted a real 41c
(or cv) when I was in college, but it was way beyond my means.
My very first calculator was a National Semiconductor scientific, and it
used RPN, so that's what I learned on. Made sense to me. Also prevented
classmates from borrowing it once they realized there wasn't an "equals"
key...
