"Very handy and quickly open, efficient calculator"
Version: Magic Number Machine 1.0.30
Pros
Great list of constant numbers, keeps the history of the session, looks fine
Cons
not very easy, when possible, to modify the entry
Summary
I use it very often for small computation when using other programs (even sheet of Msoft-XL), and copy and paste results using the "history".

"free yes, full-featured no"
Version: Magic Number Machine 1.0.11
Summary

not really a full scientific calculator key set: no caret key, for exponentiation, nor a root-taking key other than square root; no inverse key
pretty to watch, but not so useful as things stand -
"Really good"
Version: Magic Number Machine 1.0.8
Summary

Great calculator with an emphasis on computer programming- easy to get acquainted with, and displays formulas very nicely. The radix stuff is simple and effective. I wish there was an RPN mode. It looks like a lot of work went into this- very nice polished app. -
"Groooovy"

Awesome app, first fully featured calculator i like for OS X so far, awesome. The developer is very nice and prompt with bug fixes, told him about a weird bug recently and he updated pretty quick :) -
"Superb little app!"

Wonderful - great for programmers which (as commented below) the radix feature is superb, making it extremely quick to do conversions without faffing about with buttons or switches.
On a personal note, I changed the interface to use a brushed metal look so the text is a little bit more readable.
What more can one say - it works very well - an excellent app and a thumbs-up to the developer! -
"Good for Software Engineering also"
Version: Magic Number Machine 1.0.6
Summary

This is the only free calculator that I have found that has support for radix conversion and different bit lengths for integers. This is really helpful when you have to get down and dirty with assembler debugging. -
"Truly magical to the mathematically inclined."

I suspect adamgardner is exactly correct in his review below. This application is a beautiful thing, but far too esoteric for my daily math needs. It is, however, great fun to play with; I imagine it must very useful for the serious number cruncher. The developer should be applauded for the elegant work. -
"A good piece of software."
Version: Magic Number Machine 1.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I suspect the reason there are no other reviews yet is that, despite this being a very nice piece of software, it's hard to find something to write home (or VT) about a calculator.
It does exactly what they say it does: it's a full-featured scientific calculator. As such, it has lots of features that probably aren't going to be used by everyone. I'm not going to use them all, certainly. But, that's just fine.
Anyway, it's a nice looking calculator that's freeware and open source, and has not yet displayed any noticeable problems for me as yet. What more can you ask for?
Oh, and the documentation displays a sense of humor.
(I leave quality/stability unrated because I have no basis for judging it's stability; I just haven't prodded it hard enough to vouch anything.)
