Halcyon Calc for iPhone/iPod Touch : a clone of an HP-28S ? - Jean-Michel - 08-25-2009 Hi all,
I found this app this evening by doing my usual "calc" search in the AppStore. I also saw another clone of HP-12C called "Calc 12E", but in this case, the origin is clearly announced! Regards from France.

Re: Halcyon Calc for iPhone/iPod Touch : a clone of an HP-28S ? - Chuck - 08-25-2009 It looks like it has 28S-ish buttons and some features, but I wouldn't call it a clone (e.g. no graphing); more of an "inspired by the 28S" rpn calculator.

And your point is? :-)
Re: Halcyon Calc for iPhone/iPod Touch : a clone of an HP-28S ? - Jeremy Rand - 08-26-2009 As the author of the program, I can confirm that version 1.0 is intended to be a subset of HP-28S functionality. The subset includes:
It also has some nice features which the iPhone interface provides like being able to scroll quickly back through the stack and use your finger to swipe through the menus instead of using Next and Prev.
Some things are still missing, mainly programs, vectors, arrays, plotting, calculus and the algebra menu. I encourage anyone interested in the application to visit Thanks for your interest and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the app.
