For the discerning STEM student/professional, 15c is the only relevant RPN emulator on mobile officially released by HP and it's an overpriced disappointment IMHO.

HP didn't even extend a courtesy reach-around for our CS/CpE brethren with 16c integration despite their $16.99! Even if you were in the market circa 2011 to pre-order one (or a few) 15c LE--which came with a copy of the desktop app--you'd still have to pony up even more for the mobile app!

On Android, I'd highly recommend skipping the "official" HP garbage and supporting CalcTastic Plus[1] for a mere $0.99. Even the free version makes the HP emulator look like a complete joke. I've been rolling with a 35s as workhorse since undergrad days, but couldn't care less if today's zombie HP literally disappeared from the market tomorrow.

Good info, thanks for the update!
