RealCalc is a slightly retro but fully featured scientific calculator which looks and operates exactly like the real thing.

  • Powers, roots, logarithmic and exponential functions.
  • Percentage calculations.
  • Trigonometric functions in degrees, radians or gradients.
  • Hyperbolic functions.
  • Factorials, permutations and combinations.
  • Fixed-point, scientific and engineering notation display modes, with adjustable decimal places.

RealCalc v1.3.3 released

What's new:
  • Fixed HEX/OCT/BIN display formatting bug for small or large screens.

RealCalc v1.3.2 released

What's new:
  • Added support for small screen devices, e.g. HTC Tattoo.
Note: several people are reporting that buttons 8 and 9 "don't work", or "all numbers except 1 don't work" - you are in hexadecimal, octal or binary mode, as indicated by HEX, OCT or BIN in the display. Press SHIFT-DEC to return to normal decimal operation. It is possible to get into these modes unintentionally if you do a long press on the plus, minus or divide keys. You can disable long-press support in the settings if this is a problem.

If you have keys not working and you are definitely not in one of these modes, please email me, I cannot help if you only leave a comment on the market.

RealCalc v1.1.0 released

What's new:
  • New settings screen.
  • Calculation result history. Pressing ANS key now brings up result history dialog. Maximum history length can be adjusted on the settings screen. When set to 'Off' it works as before, i.e. ANS key gives last calculation result (no dialog). The history can also be cleared from the settings screen.
  • New memory store / recall dialogs. Pressing STO or RCL now brings up a dialog showing the current memory contents, of both the main memory (M) and the additional memories 1 to 9. This allows you to see the contents of memories before storing a new value or recalling an existing value. The contents of the memories can be cleared (reset to zero) from the settings screen.
Coming soon...
  • Unit conversion for distance, area, volume, speed, time, etc
  • Built-in help
