Or, alas, just RPN Calculator on Android, which besides not having real keys is otherwise close to perfect.

If NumWorks did propose an RPN version (with associated keys) I would buy it immediately indeed...

There are at least two apps in the Play Store by that name, and a boatload of apps with similar names. I'd like to see if I can get used to RPN; which app would you recommend?

I have "RpnCalc" by Edward Falk. It's not like having my old HP 41C back, but it is a good emulation of the RPN calculator experience. I'd recommend it.

One alternative is Free42, which emulates an HP-42. Then there's an app version of the HP Prime, which was mentioned earlier.
