★★★★★ "Wrong Calculations Produced. Financial interest calculations do not produce the correct answers. Apparently there is a glitch in the software. Not reliable as far as I can tell and I use financial functions daily in my life." - Jarh

Computes incorrect
Any TVM computing is incorrect. At the beginning I tried to calculate TVM and it was fine, but when I bought Pro version every computation is incorrect. Easiest one with compounded rate shows nonsense output.
Display is terrible for iPad
What a joke. Waste of $
Cheating Fake
The system is wholly wrong when performing financial calculations. Cheat! Don’t buy!
Does not support landscape mode
Can’t believe this does not support landscape mode!! There are better apps out there that show history and support landscape.
Not intuitive
Doesn't fit ipad. Not easy to use. For a financial calculator its not intuitive.
OK - Slow Button Response
I previously used a BA II Calculator app from a different developer, but had to change when my phone updated to IOS 26. Bought this Pro version and disappointed with the slow response of the buttons. Also would be nice to be able to see entered values in the N, I/Y, PV, PMT, and FV functions as other developer versions of the BA II are able to provide. Have not had any issues with incorrect calculations. Will stick with this app since I paid for it. Will update review if I see future improvements.
Practically unusable
Unable to enter values for functions n,I/Y,PV,pmt and FV. As a college student taking entry to finance, I felt like I had no arms or legs in trying to do calculations, probably why it cost 3 bucks.
Wrong Calculations Produced
Financial interest calculations do not produce the correct answers. Apparently there is a glitch in the software. Not reliable as far as I can tell and I use financial functions daily in my life.
Doesn’t solve for %
I use to have a HP 17 in college and I thought this app could solve for interest. As in, I have the FV PV and term to solve the % but nope - generates error 5. Wasted $2. I just need to find my old calculator or buy a cheap TI.
Lacks multitask, big no
Otherwise great emulator
