When is the 2014 edition coming out? And can I get my money back? ### 3/5 — 2.2.2 *2013-11-19, version 2.2.2* After downloading this update, I could not get the "settings" or "?" buttons to work. The links to tech support led me to other West products, not CFLR. ### 1/5 — I would give it a no-star if that was an option *2012-08-23, version 1.0.5* After purchasing this application about six months ago, I used it once successfully, and thereafter, the application has never again worked. When I tap on the app, it sort of opens the initial page but shuts right back down. I am so extremely frustrated and disappointed. I don't even know where to turn to to report this problem. I feel completely ripped off. ### 1/5 — TESQ2012 *2012-08-09, version 1.0.4* App stopped working, uninstalled/reinstalled per tech support, still not working. Called back, said there would be an update. Pure BS. ### 1/5 — Version 1.0.4 *2012-07-21, version 1.0.4* I called tech support and I was told to uninstall and reinstall the app. I just tried but didn't work. Need to contact tech support again. ### 2/5 — App doesn't work *2012-07-18, version 1.0.4* I have exactly the same problem. What should I do? ### 3/5 — Missing Key Features :-( *2012-05-02, version 1.0.3* Having a Mac-based office, I've been looking for a way to run DissoMaster easily, and the iPad app is just the trick. I've been running XSpouse within a Wine environment, but that's not a total solution, either. Here's the problem... first of all, this is the most expensive app I have ever purchased, and my expectations were high. But, the iPad version of DissoMaster is missing several key features: 1) As another reviewer stated, there is no ability to enter Y-T-D income for a projection of a party's annual income. 2) There seems to be no way to generate Smith-Ostler (excess earnings) bonus tables. These tables are a key part of guideline child support, but this critical feature is just flat-out missing. In other words, if you have a party with variable income (bonuses, commissions, etc.), you won't be able to capture the excess earnings over the base pay with this app. Almost makes the app useless. 3) The cash flow analysis is meager, at best, nor does the app allow you to print "per child" information. Again, key information is missing. 4) There are other things... the preferences are weak, there is little ability to customize data input (e.g. parent resides outside of California and pays out-of-state taxes instead of California taxes), etc. In fact, the printed report doesn't even identify WHICH party pays support (you have to know that the parenthesis around the support number indicate that the lower net-income party is the payor, and if there are no parenthesis it's the higher net-income parent). 5) Can't save the data input as a file to be modified/edited later. Only options are to email the report or the print the report (via AirPrint). All in all, the app is "OK", but will only have limited usability given its unacceptable limitations. And, for $50, I expected a LOT more. This is one huge problem I have with many publishers who sell their apps through the App Store... there is no way to demo or evaluate many of them before plunking down money unless the publisher makes a free or "lite" version available for previewing. Had I seen these features missing, it's very likely I would NOT have made this purchase. You may want to consider this purchase very, very carefully. I'm fairly disappointed. ### 2/5 — Bug *2011-11-29, version 1.0.2* Just started this up. Been using DissoMaster and SuporTax for years, when I try to add new spouse income, DM crashes and I have to start all over. Not good. ### 1/5 — No YTD *2011-11-21, version 1.0.2* 50 bucks and there's no YTD function? Whatta rip off! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — The App Crashes *2014-07-08, version 14.1.3* After the update to the latest version, the App opens then it shuts down! We tried calling the support desk, they said they would call within 24 hours, that was 5 days ago and we are still waiting on a call. ### 1/5 — Could be a good app *2014-04-25, version 2.2.6* After you answer a few questions it freezes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice and still experiencing the same problem. Any advice? ### 1/5 — Worthless unstable program *2014-01-08, version 2.2.4* Program opens yet is so unstable you will ever be able to run it for more than few seconds. Just garbage. ### 1/5 — Rick M. *2013-12-12, version 2.2.2* Tried calling tech support at West web site (where app developer tab sends you). Took forever to finally get to tech support only to speak to someone who had no idea what he was talking about. Didn't even know the update process for the iPad. Let on hold for 45 minutes before I gave up. Tried uninstalling app and reinstalling. Still does not work right but now I have lost my 2013 tax update that I purchased. Since I cannot get to the settings area (still will not open) I can't even try to unlock the upgrade. If I could give this app a negative star rating I would. Until this mess is fixed, do not purchase this app. Too bad as I I really liked this app fore this last updare. ### 1/5 — Will not unlock *2013-08-12, version 2.0.2* 2013 update is "locked" and cannot be unlocked. ### 1/5 — Updates way behind & won't load *2013-08-06, version 2.0.2* 2013 tax updates not released until the July 8, 2013 update. And, that update won't download and install. ### 1/5 — Problem with 2013 update *2013-07-12, version 2.0.2* Just updated to the 2013 version (bought about 6-8 months ago), was working in previous version, now I can not access 2013 tax year. Now shows tax year 2013 locked and get error trying to access App Store when selecting tax year 2013. Will change rating once working. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 2024 is the final version. *2024-11-20* There will be no further DissoMaster updates. ### 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. ### 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! ### 5/5 — Ytd income *2011-12-16, version 1.0.3* This would be much more helpful with the ability to input income based upon a year to date number similar to that which appears in the desktop version. ### 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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — New year, new formula? *2014-03-25, version 2.2.6* Any idea when tax year 2014 will be available? ### 4/5 — Certification out of date *2013-03-24, version 1.0.5* Will there be a free update? How will this be handled? Still shows as 2012. ### 4/5 — Very Handy *2012-01-26, version 1.0.3* I was able to e-mail my DissoMaster to clerk and opposing counsel at trial. I wish there was a save option. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
