After updating my iPhone software and the app's update, I am in able to use this app. Disappointing. All my friends can.

### 1/5 — Not worth the download

*2014-12-30, version 1.4*

Worked for the first few days. But today I went in to modify the weeks, the app closed and now it won't reopen. Very disappointed because I told a bunch if people about this cool app that I just had to delete because it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — JuNk!!!!'

*2014-12-29, version 1.4*

All I was able to do was enter my info and the app closed. Now every time I try to open it, a black screen comes up and it closes again. I have tried powering off/on my iPhone 5 and still get the same results. DELETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Didn't work

*2014-12-29, version 1.4*

After I opened the app I was able to set a name, add an alarm and that I wanted to start low and go to high and after that it crashed and I couldn't get it to open again

### 1/5 — Ugly and extremely bad UX

*2014-07-16, version 1.4*

It's like going onto the internet in 1982! Ugly and buggy. Have entered and removed amounts but the app still showing me as if I have saved some $$$.  Not worth the download.

### 2/5 — Eh

*2014-02-09, version 1.3*

Great in theory. Kinda hard to operate, needs a feature to delete all and restart. Found it hard to fix if you make a mistake.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2014-02-03, version 1.3*

Crash immediately after start

### 1/5 — Doesn't work!

*2014-02-03, version 1.2*

It doesn't save the correct target money and it won't save the start date correctly.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2014-02-03, version 1.2*

I started my challenge some weeks ago and wanted to change the date in the app. As soon as I did it CRASHED. Should this get fixed the app would be great.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-01-29, version 1.2*

It was nice to be able to change the start date but as soon as you click "save all" and go back to the first screen the app crashes and won't reopen.

### 1/5 — Not working.

*2017-07-21, version 1.9*

The latest version won't open at all. It just crashes. 
For the past two years it worked great. Not sure what has happened.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2016-12-28, version 1.9*

Dont bother

### 1/5 — Didn't Calculate Correctly

*2016-01-05, version 1.7*

I just started this challenge and was hoping that I'd find an app to keep track. I download this, entered my goal, indicated that I was starting high and then tried to enter my $52 deposit. It wouldn't allow me to saying my savings for the week needed to be $2407 or something. Anyway, didn't work for me. Deleted it.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-12-31, version 1.7*

Don't waste your time - managed to set up a challenge, now if I press ANYTHING it closes! Complete rubbish.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-12-30, version 1.7*

Can't even start the setup and it crashes.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2015-11-07, version 1.7*

Total rubbish keeps crashing as soon as I starting using it after downloading it.
Shame as it looks really good to use!!!! Sort it out please!!😔

*2015-04-09, version 1.7*

The time function does not work. Keeps crashing. Please fix

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2015-01-29, version 1.5*

App will not open and when it does it freezes and cuts off on its own. It also does not calculate correctly. Very disappointed, I really wanted to use the app.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2015-01-20, version 1.5*

Precious at start after recent update.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2018-05-15*

I love this app! Have used it for 3 years now! A tip to save money is use cash not debit, don’t spend your change save it, it adds up very quickly

### 5/5 — Love it. love it!!!!!!

*2015-03-07, version 1.6*

Im very bad with money. but this app keeps me motivated. and its well design. i got this app in December 29 and now im saving every week. I know it can be hard sometimes especially when you see something that you WANT but thats not what you NEED. keep it up people. every penny counts. you can do it too. many  tnx for the developer.

### 4/5 — Need to be able to change starting date

*2014-01-25, version 1.1*

Good app but I didn't find this app until I already was 4 weeks into my challenge.. I cannot find a way to change the start date from today to when I actually started so it has my amounts for the weeks wrong.. I also would like to be able to change my starting amount too incase I decided to start depositing with a 10x multiplier.. Example 1st deposit $11, second $12.. Etc..

### 3/5 — Options For $$ Change

*2015-12-30, version 1.7*

There are a few different 52 Week Challenges and I would like the option of changing my weekly amount to one of the many options. Please update for this.

### 3/5 — Almost there

*2014-02-20, version 1.3*

A bumpy start and little playing around needed to get used to it.

It would be even better if it provided the monetary goal for each week (according to the challenge). I currently have to look at a spreadsheet for the weekly goal.

### 3/5 — Decent app

*2014-01-28, version 1.1*

The app is good for following the plan but I would like to be able to change the start date. I am five weeks into saving and am just finding the app and there is no way for me to record the progress that I have already made.

### 3/5 — Needs a few tweeks

*2014-01-23, version 1.0*

You can reverse and start with week 52 by selecting "start high". You can also alter the amount you are depositing. It would be nice if you could delete or clear a deposit if you make a mistake.

### 3/5 — Improve for more stars

*2014-01-20, version 1.0*

Great app idea! It needs a few improvements. 
1. When it asks how much to save, it isn't clear if that means how much per week (no) or how much total ( no). It means what is the lowest you want to ever save in a week. If you start with $1 you will save $1400 but there is no way to know how much you will save if you start at another $ until you input that amount and then there is no way to change that amount without deleting the entire app and reloading. 
2. There is no way to choose a final amount to save and then allow the app to tell me how much to save each week. This would be very helpful. 
I will change my stars when these improvements are made. It's a great idea and i love the alarm to remind me.

### 2/5 — 52 week challenge

*2014-07-15, version 1.4*

I was looking for an app that would track my savings for the 52 week challenge and this was the first that popped up. 2 major issues! 1) The app crashed after about 3 minutes of use. Now I can't get it to open back up. 2) I started saving last year so the app will allow you to back track but it's not very user friendly because it doesn't give you the years only the dates. So you scroll through the month and days to find the correct start date for savings but you have no idea what year you are in. I've deleted the app and hopefully the 2nd app I found works better.

### 2/5 — Great concept - needs work

*2014-05-04, version 1.4*

Great idea. Not so great functionality especially if you want to change savings goal or track more than one savings goal.
