RPN RetroCalc for Android Wear

[AshleyF]

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/detai....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.
  

Particular congratulations on how good the calculator looks. The LCD display is especially nice!
