World's first pocket computer! Now running on your iPhone. RPN-65 SD is the iPhone version of RPN-65 Pro, the first complete simulation of Hewlett-Packard's stunning HP-65 programmable calculator for iOS. Produced from 1974 to 1977 at an initial price of $795 (that's close to $5,000 today!), the HP-65 was a breakthrough. Not only was it programmable, it also contained a motorized magnetic card reader - and still fit into Bill Hewlett's shirt pocket. Experience this revolutionary calculator on your iPhone.

Lovely, useful—now with haptic key clicks!
It seems just a few weeks ago I asked for haptic key click and now here it is! This is a nifty reminder of the satisfying “thunk” of the famously high quality keys of these classic physical calculators.
Lovely, useful—but haptic key clicks please
I would love to see haptic feedback on key clicks. It would more closely approximate the famously high quality key feel of the classic physical calculators.
My go-to calculator
I’ve always been an HP calculator fan. My first calculator was a National Semiconductor RPN scientific. But I couldn’t afford the HP’s when I was in school. Now that I have an iPhone in my pocket every day, I don’t have as much need for a separate physical calculator. I’ve tried an HP-41c emulator that was somewhat disappointing. Andy Ihnatko recommended this one, so I gave it a shot. Graphically perfect. Keys are extremely responsive. The program card animation makes me smile. I somehow hit a button that put me in a weird mode. I couldn’t get out of it, so I emailed the developer. He got back to me within a day and helped me reverse my stupidity. I can’t recommend this one highly enough.
• If "Enhancements" are set to "Off", loading an empty card will blink "0.00" and program memory will be cleared to NOPs, like on a real HP-65. • Some fonts have been changed from Courier to Menlo for better legibility. • Screens "Paper Tape Printer", "Program Usage", and "Program Description" may be dismissed by dragging them down, in addition to swiping them horizontally.
