User Reviews

Users praise the app for its privacy, simplicity, and quick inflation calculations, noting it delivers what it promises and enables easy historical comparisons. The main drawbacks are outdated data that stops in 2018/2019, slow or inconsistent updates, and occasional update-induced bugs that can make the app temporarily unusable.

Pros

Privacy: the app does not collect any user data.
Simple, clean, easy-to-use calculator that just works.
Very useful for quick inflation calculations and historical comparisons.
Delivers exactly what it promises and saves looking up an inflation calculator.
Credible tool backed by the Minneapolis Fed; appreciated by users.

Cons

Data ends around 2018/2019 and is not current.
Not updated promptly to newer years (2020s) despite user demand.
Updates can break usability (UI issues such as a white background or missing keyboard).
Sometimes less up-to-date than the official CPI website.

Recent reviews

I love how the app does not collect any data, and it works as it is supposed to, but it only goes down to the early 1900s—not even to 1900. It would get five stars if it had information from at least the 1800s, but ideally to 1776. Other than that, I recommend this app.

Had been running the 2019 version and now that this puppy has been brought current you can keep track of just what kind of number this lame Biden presidency is doing to the value of your moolah. (LET’S GO BRANDON) - - - Oct 21 - - -

And prior reviews complained that it wasn’t being updated often but it seems that the 2023 CPI info was added in Feb 2024, which is pretty good since they have to wait for the year to end and do final calculations to have that year’s official CPI.
