Review summary

User reviews are largely negative. Common issues include crashes during calculation and failing to save input data, making the app unreliable. Many users criticize aggressive monetization, with repeated $3.99 charges, annual pricing, and upsells that add little value. Trust concerns are frequent, with several calling it a scam or requesting refunds. Reviewers also note a lack of transparency about the methodology and argue the tool offers only basic functionality already available in free tools, which makes it not worth the price.

2025-12-08	BP*****	Had high hopes, but the app lets me input the data and when I run the calc, it crashes completely and doesn’t save any data. I’m on a new iPad with iOS 26. Completely useless app.

2023-05-27	Ka*****	This app is a scam! It doesn't work. And then it prompts you to pay $3.99 ONE TIME ONLY! And then it still DOESN'T WORK! And it will prompt you for another $3.99! And you CANNOT TYPE A REVIEW as the app prevents your phone's keyboard from popping up! I had to cut and paste my REVIEW! SCAM!

2023-01-14	Ta*****	I’m sorry but your calculation isn’t complex. I understand you need to make some cash but 3.99 for a simple calculation is crazy. Offer more and 3.99 is worth it. And don’t advertise that it’s free.

2023-01-14	Ha*****	The app doesn’t tell you their methodology. I can put in $1.6 and withdrawal infinitely at 0 % return and no indication of inflation or expenses. Or tax. It’s a dumb app. Don’t use it.

2022-04-09	FI*****	Once you try to enter different numbers to calculate, you get a message that tells you you need to pay $3.99 to unlock features. Just tell us upfront the app costs money. In addition you are not getting additional features. Very basic app for that price. Other options out there.
