DreamCalc Professional Edition is an attractive and versatile calculator that can meet the needs of both casual calculator users and those who have more demanding tasks to perform. Its multiple interfaces and many features make it a great choice for people with a wide variety of calculating needs.

The program's interface is clean and sleek, appearing very much like a real-life calculator. An assortment of skins allows users to customize the calculator's appearance. Users can choose between four types of calculators: Simple, Standard Scientific, Scientific with Base- N Keys, and Financial Scientific. This ensures that users have access to only the features they need, which makes this program a good choice for people of any skill level. Each style of calculator features the keys you would expect of its real-life counterpart, but also has functions organized in menus and windows. The paper roll feature, for example, allows users to view and print a record of their work, just as a desktop printing calculator would. A separate graphing window gives users access to full graphing capabilities. The program throws in a few nice extras as well, including quick conversions for temperature, length, speed, and more. Overall, we found the program to be packed with features but well-organized, and thus easy to use. The built-in Help file is well-written and thorough, with plenty of screenshots and detailed instructions.

DreamCalc Professional Edition is free to try but has a nag screen. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

Developer's Description

DreamCalc Professional is the Ultimate Free Scientific and Financial Graphing Calculator for Windows. This slick math application is so realistic, you'll never reach for your hand-held calculator again!

Not only does DreamCalc give you an intuitive and almost tactile experience, it is a fully featured graphing calculator that can graph functions and plot list data in an instant (no more setting up spreadsheets). In fact, it is a match for many dedicated graphing packages, but far easier to use.

DreamCalc offers a full range of scientific functions, statistics, complex numbers, base-n logic, unit conversions, numerical calculus and built-in constants and a powerful polynomial solver. Select from Reverse Polish Notation or pre-fix or post-fix algebraic input, and with the optional ability to run in your Windows system tray, DreamCalc will always be there whenever you reach for a calculator.

The Professional Edition also offers financial and extended graphing features, including: TVM registers, BOND, IRR, MIRR and amortization functions.

DreamCalc is free for non-commercial use. Premium features, such as graphing, require a paid upgrade. Ten percent of sales go to charity.
