I have 'go48g' on my android, mostly for nostalgia, I've forgotten how
to use most of the features of it. The 48gx was my first HP calc long
ago, still have it, though it is currently in pieces as I am (slowly)
attempting to perform some repairs on it.

My go-to calculator on my (android) phone is simply called 'RPN
Calculator' and I use 'dc' when logged into *nix.

I made fun of friends that used HP calculators for a long time, until
I started using it.  Once I wrapped my head around RPN, it just felt
"better."  But, like text editors, keyboard layouts, etc... to each
his/her own, use what you know and can get work done with.
