Introduction
PCalc is ideal for scientists, engineers, students, programmers, or indeed anybody looking for a feature-rich calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

Purchasing PCalc
You can buy PCalc on the iPhone App Store by clicking here. It costs $9.99 in the US, price varies in other countries.
PCalc requires an iPhone or an iPod Touch running OS 2.1 or later, and iTunes 8.0 or later.
PCalc Lite
Available for a limited time only, PCalc Lite is a fully functional and free taste of our popular scientific calculator for the iPhone and iPod Touch. You can download it from the App Store here.
In the continuing absence of demos or trial periods in the App Store, the idea behind PCalc Lite is to provide something useful and free that's better than the Apple calculator, but which will also drive interest in the full version. PCalc Lite is a great calculator, but PCalc is even better!
