### 5/5 — 2024 is the final version.

*2024-11-20*

There will be no further DissoMaster updates.

### 4/5 — Doesn't work on mac with M1

*2023-08-22*

I cannot access the Dissomaster on my mac with M1 chip

### 4/5 — Love it, but ... (ignore my last review-user error)

*2022-06-07, version 2022.1.0*

Love it

### 5/5 — How to enter a 401(k)

*2021-09-03, version 2021.1.1*

Some reviewers are asking for a 401(k) entry.  As discussed in the manual, you can enter these on the ATI line.  While they are different things, the effect is exactly the same.  A separate line would be great, but you don’t have to wait for that.

### 4/5 — Emailing the report doesn’t work

*2020-08-28, version 2020.2.0*

Also please add a lime for 401k or other non mandatory retirement contributions. All other features work fine. Long phone tech support hold lines. Not clear if they have email or other support channel for individual users that buy in app tax year subscription.

### 1/5 — Clowniest

*2019-05-31, version 2018.2.0*

No update?

### 1/5 — Seriously. Can’t add 401k data? Seriously?

*2018-10-07, version 2017.1.1*

These clowns are the clowniest.

### 5/5 — Good at Court

*2018-04-25, version 2017.1.1*

I like it!  Don’t know what others are talking about because have not experienced problems.  also, I like the way the printer function can convert the printout into pdf so the printout all agree upon may be quickly emailed to client, OC, etc.  On another note:  No astounding news, but WE NEED new tax law update, or alternatively, a flagged reassurance that an update is not necessary yet so we may advise our clients!

### 3/5 — Update issue

*2016-03-10, version 2015.2.0*

When attempting 2016 update app can't find App Store and no way to update to 2016 at App Store.

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2015-11-27, version 2015.1.1*

The app won't open at all. I'm running an older os on my iPad. I wonder if that's why. Would love to try to use this app.
