### 1/5 — Never answered my question

*2017-02-01, version 1.0*

Just sends emails to me about how great the app is.  No cpa ever answered the question I submitted.  Deleting.

### 1/5 — Can't connect to server

*2016-04-30, version 1.0*

Used the app at different times but couldn't submit answer.

### 1/5 — App needs to be updated! It's January 2016 and last update was March 2012

*2016-01-29*

This app seams to be great but it claims to be upto date on all the latest tax information. Only issue is that is only up to date as of March 2012... It is January 2016! 😕
Please update your app! 
Thank you! 🙏

### 1/5 — Server error

*2015-11-19*

Was pretty stoked when u downloaded this but every time I used it, kept saying Server Error.  Deleted it after a while since it was just taking up space :/

### 1/5 — Server error

*2015-11-04, version 1.0*

Never says anything but Server Error.

### 2/5 — Question not answered correctly

*2015-07-24*

The person who responded didn't answer my question regarding the best way to gift a large amount to a relative. He suggested a loan, which would not work in my situation. He admitted his area of expertise was not in the area I needed. He also referred to a quit claim deed as a "quick claim deed" which is a little concerning. He also didn't really address my quitclaim question with any specifics, leaving me no other option but to go elsewhere to get my questions answered.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2013-05-03, version 1.0*

This app is absolutely useless. I've tried it twice with zero outcome. First asking a question, then trying to find a CPA in my area. Nothing happened. Removing it. Junk.

### 5/5 — N/A

*2013-03-14*

Great App!  Used it for the first time today and within minutes received emails with contact info for CPAs located nearby who could help with my question, followed by several phone calls from CPAs who willingly shared their perspectives on a complicated tax question I had posed.

### 5/5 — Answered my question !!!

*2013-02-09*

I emailed my question, had to wait an extra day or two, but my question was answered perfectly to my satisfaction.  They even called me personally to answer my question.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Judy

*2013-02-08*

This app is unbelievable! I actually was able to talk with 
a CPA....Michael .....by phone and he answered all of my questions. I recommend this app to everyone!
I still cannot believe this was so easy and that Michael was so knowledgeable .
If you can't afford a CPA ....get the App
Thanks so much to Michael.
