How would you compare it with a TI Nspire or similar calculators. In other words why Numworks? What is special about it? My use case is high school students, i

  Hi! My answer is obviously going to be biased, but I think our calculator is very different from a TI Nspire. We actually designed it with high school students in mind. We interviewed a lot of them, and we reached the conclusion that on average they were using less than 10% of the features of their calculator. So we designed ours trying to make it as intuitive as possible. You'll notice it borrows from gaming consoles and mobile phones: that's because high schoolers already know how to use those! As an example that might seem like a minor detail, we're the only graphing calculator on the market with anti-aliasing. It might not sound like much, but it's a lot of work to get right and that's the kind of detail we like to pay attention to. Anyway, you can judge by yourself: our (free) simulator is just a click away: https://www.numworks.com/simulator https://www.numworks.com/simulator

    Having that simulator is absolute awesome! The fact that this product was merely mentioned in a comment and the you showed up here is the true magic of HN. It always amazes me again when it happens.
