CNET Editors' review
If you've ever used an HP financial calculator, you'll feel right at home when you open this application, whose interface, functionality, and features replicate the original physical product. You'll get hit with the upsell for the full version upon launching the program, but just click the window and the free version will open. Key in your computations, hit Enter, and a memory text file shows the last numbers registered.
The interface gives you the ability to adjust the size of the calculator from small to medium to large. Features such as copy and paste, load and save, and paper tape output are disabled in the freeware, but all other key functions are present. Anyone who regularly uses a financial calculator will find HP-12C Financial Calculator a welcome addition to her or his electronic arsenal.

"TERRIBLE!!! CANNOT UNINSTALL!!!"
Version: hp 12c Financial Calculator 4.2
Pros
If you can look beyond the CONSTANT (every 60 seconds) purchase prompts, it does technically function as an HP12C should.
Cons
"Free Trial" ASSAULTS you with purchase reminders at a blinding rate.
HIDES THE TASKBAR! Seriously?! Not cool.
CANNOT UNINSTALL!!! Does not show up in add/remove. No uninstall.exe. No Uninstall option in program directory. Cannot uninstall through the installation utility.
Total crap in my opinion. I actually thought it was useful for the first 30 seconds, and may have considered purchasing, but I am totally blown away by the inconvenience of this download from hell.Summary
DO NOT DOWNLOAD. THIS PRODUCT IS GARBAGE. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO UNINSTALL, PLEASE SHARE!!!

"Works fine BUT DOES NOT UNINSTALL!!!"
Version: hp 12c Financial Calculator 4.2
Pros

Cons
You need to pay for (reminds you every minute of the fact that you have to pay.

"No way to uninstall it"
Version: hp 12c Financial Calculator 4.2
Pros
it is the hp-12c and it does work as such buttttttt
Cons
1) There's no UNINSTALL in add/remove or in the program. That alone ticks me off.
2) Locks up and hides the tool bar, task bar etc.
3) constantly repeats your every action threw speakers.
4) shuts down ever few mins. & asks for money to buy the full version
