RPN 50gHP 17bII+ financial calculator for iPhone, iPad and MacRPN 17bII+ — HP's menu-driven financial calculator, to twelve digits.
The HP 17bII+ is HP's menu-driven financial calculator: a two-line display that names every value, menus for loans and savings, cash flows, bonds, depreciation, statistics and dates, and an equation Solver for everything else. RPN 17bII+ puts one on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, with the face, the keyboard and the display of the real thing.

A new simulator written from the calculator's user's guide, every worked example of the guide serving as a test: twelve digits, with its menus, its messages and its prompts.

Why an HP 17bII+?
The HP 17bII+ is the financial calculator for those who would rather read than remember: every value has its name on the display, every calculation its menu, and what has no menu the equation Solver handles. RPN 17bII+ brings it to the iPhone, iPad and Mac, in algebraic entry or in RPN. Its keystroke-driven sibling, the HP 12C, is RPN 12C; the scientific calculators are RPN 15C, RPN 35s and RPN 32sII.
About the calculator
The app contains no HP software and needs no ROM: the calculator was written from its user's guide alone, its worked examples serving as tests. The network is used only to download one of HP's manuals when you ask for it; everything else stays on your device.
