SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the search for effective iPhone calculator apps, particularly those with graphing capabilities. Users mention several applications, including MathStudio, which is available on iTunes, and express interest in alternatives like TI-89 Titanium and TI-nSpire CX CAS. The conversation highlights the limitations of smartphone calculators in academic settings due to concerns over cheating, while also praising the i41CX app for its emulation of the HP-41C, a renowned RPN calculator. WolframAlpha is also noted for its unmatched computational capabilities.

Curious if anyone has found any good iphone calculator apps? Anything good for graphing?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
Anyone think an iphone or ipad app would replace a traditional graphing calculator?
 
I know one exists, but I can't remember its name. I know, I'm a big help.

Here's a good one, or so it seems. I'm still deciding if I want to buy it, however. My TI-83+ I've had since 1997 took a blow to the screen somehow (I think -- hard to describe what's going on with it) so I'm looking for a replacement and might just get MathStudio for my Android phone. I don't expect students will ever be able to use smartphone calculators on tests due to the whole internet/cheating thing, but I mostly just use my TI-36X Pro scientific calculator on tests anyway.

MathStudio or TI-89 Titanium or TI-nSpire CX CAS or HP-50...decisions, decisions.
 
I use the i41CX.

Hands down the best RPN calculator ever made was the HP-41C and this is the best iPhone emulation of it.
 
I like two apps very well, i41cx as noted above without the CAS, and WolframApha,(unmatched)
