RPN RetroCalc for Android Wear - AshleyF - 06-12-2015 04:10 AM
I had some fun over the weekend making a very nice looking retro HP-esque programmable scientific calculator for Android Wear. If you have an Android Watch, please give it a try and let me know what you think! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.feniello.retrocalc

A very nice tiny RPN calculator. I like especially the macro feature, which gives it a reduced programming ability. You could call it HP-02, the low cost successor watch calculator of the HP-01, it also includes the watch function as a separate app, I think.
I don't have an Android wear. Do you think about an IOS version?

I like it! On my LG G Watch R the calculator is perfectly usable. A few ideas:
- I'd like sqrt and x^2 and would be perfectly happy to sacrifice abs and ran to achieve this.
- I'd really like an EEX button. On a small keyboard, anything that saves on key presses is valuable. How about using the display as an extra key to achieve this?
- Ability to work in degrees would be nice (sacrifice "e" for this?). Once again, it would save on key presses.
- When pressing f and g it might be nice to change the key labels to show the shifted functions. This would improve readability at the cost of changing the "feel" of the machine.
