- Full support for fractions (simple and mixed), conversion to and from decimal, fraction reduction, and use of fractions with all operators. 

- Easy access to basic calculator functions, for those who rarely use scientific operations. 

- Paper log feature, designed particularly for classroom use. Calculations can be recorded with a timestamp to be viewed and emailed. 

- iPads get a user interface designed to make use of the large screen area. iPhones and iPod Touches get a user interface designed for the smaller screen. This includes large, easy to read scientific buttons, accessed on a scrolling panel. All the features of the iPad version are included in the smaller design.
