The new update made this app absolutely atrocious and unusable practically with so many bugs. I paid to get rid of ads and it used to be a core part of my financial planning and now it’s absolute garbage. Please revert back to the old version or let us go back! ### 2/5 — Bad ads *2026-02-27, version 3.0.3* Watch out for in appropriate adds ### 3/5 — Needs refinement. *2026-02-25, version 3.0.3* The chart itself looks compressed and funky on iOS. It needs to be changed in some way - almost looks like it was designed on a desktop design environment. Otherwise decent app! Congrats on getting so many downloads. All the best. ### 2/5 — Screen view too large!! *2026-01-30, version 3.0.3* Was great when it all fit on one screen. New version is less useful for that reason. Go back to what it was. ### 2/5 — I really liked it until it got a bug?… *2026-01-19, version 3.0.3* So I believe there is a bug with the calculator, if I choose a periodic addition amount of $0 it still allows me to change the frequency of those additions and the value changes depending if I select weekly, monthly or yearly… why is it changing the value if I add $0? ### 3/5 — What happened? *2026-01-19, version 3.0.3* Previous version was so nice and now the size and font are too big. Interface has totally changed ### 2/5 — Still needs work *2026-01-07, version 3.0.3* Where is the enter button when putting in numbers. This app has been in a downward trend since recent updates ### 3/5 — Great Functionality Terrible Ads *2026-01-07, version 3.0.3* Great Functionality Terrible Ads ### 5/5 — Developer responds to issues *2026-01-05, version 3.0.3* The recent update was asking me to pay to remove ads when I already paid for an ad-free experience. The most recent update fixed this issue. ### 2/5 — Ads now and already paid once *2025-12-29, version 3.0.2* I’m annoyed that I paid for this and now it has ads and they want me to pay more to make the ads go away. Shady behavior. Now I’m not sure if I can trust the math to be right… also, forced popup for games after a few different calculations. I’m so annoyed. ### 5/5 — Commas *2025-12-25, version 3.0.2* Wouldyou add commas to the section we input the starting balance and periodic addition and withdrawals pretty please? ### 3/5 — Ads now and already paid once *2025-12-25, version 3.0.2* I’m annoyed that I paid for this and now it has ads and they want me to pay more to make the ads go away. Shady behavior. Now I’m not sure if I can trust the math to be right… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid ad *2026-08-27, version 3.0.4* Stupid ads ### 1/5 — It WAS the best *2026-04-26, version 3.0.3* Not accurate for withdrawal mode. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2026-04-15, version 3.0.3* I can no longer use this new version. The fonts are too big and the data is cramped. And it is buggy now: when hitting the Back link to leave the graph or yearly views, it crashes the entire app and I have to input all of my data again. The old version was perfect and worked flawlessly. Why must developers change what doesn’t need to be changed at all to make a product that is worse than it was? I will never understand this. ### 1/5 — Had a great product *2026-03-08, version 3.0.3* Had a great product until they revamped it. ### 1/5 — Scam app. Dev making me pay again *2026-01-03, version 3.0.2* I already paid for ads removal. The latest update brought all the ads back. I emailed developer to fix it since I already paid for ads no response. they basically want me to pay for the feature I already paid for again. Absolutely not! ### 1/5 — Easy to use compound interest calculator *2025-12-26, version 3.0.2* I paid for this app already. Now it’s asking me to pay again to remove the ads. ### 1/5 — Is this legal? *2025-12-26, version 3.0.2* The recent update is asking me to pay to remove ads when I paid this same amount earlier in the year to do just that. There is no option to validate previous payments. I like the app a lot, minus the extortion, of course. ### 1/5 — Downgrade *2025-12-25, version 3.0.2* New update now requires me to scroll when everything was displayed on one screen with the previous version plus now they’re asking for money to remove ads even after paying for the app. ### 1/5 — No ads in-app purchase *2025-12-23, version 3.0.2* I had already purchased the in-app no-ads version, but since the app was updated, it’s asking me to pay again to remove the ads. This is not very pleasant. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-12-19, version 3.0.1* App requires you to pay $1.99 to use the growth function. 😂. Go online and use a free one instead ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Get this calculator *2026-09-07, version 3.0.4* Best calculator because it has tons of options including a withdrawal mode ### 5/5 — Helpful Tool *2026-08-28, version 3.0.4* I use this app frequently to run scenarios as I save for retirement. It keeps me focused on my financial independence goal. ### 5/5 — Good App *2026-08-22, version 3.0.4* Easy to use and understand. It was helpful to me as i was saving for retirement, and the withdrawal mode is a good feature now that i am retired. ### 5/5 — A Must For Financial Planning *2026-06-08, version 3.0.4* This app is essential to provide guidance on managing your nest egg. The app has the essentials needed for planning as well! Growth calculator, illustrative graphs and Tables…best of all….a withdrawal calculator for critical retirement planning and solidifying your retirement decision. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2026-05-31, version 3.0.4* Simple and clear to use. ### 5/5 — Shuts down unexpectedly *2026-04-09, version 3.0.3* Working well for 2 year. Now in 2026 it’s shuts down every time you try to return from graph to main screen. Very annoying. ### 5/5 — Love this calculator *2026-02-03, version 3.0.3* So handy to calculate different scenarios. Simple to use, ads are not annoying. ### 5/5 — Good App but….. *2026-01-22, version 3.0.3* Just the app I am looking for but what really tick me off is why do not have landscape mode? Most iPad users are using landscape mode and it’s a pain to use it as it forces me to turn my iPad manually to portrait every time. Hope developer and correct this and I will give 5 star. Edit: Wow. Developer heard me and changed. 5 star!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Restore purchases fixed *2026-01-07, version 3.0.3* The developer fixed the issue I had with previous purchases not restoring. No ads anymore. Thank you! ### 5/5 — For every very investor *2026-01-06, version 3.0.3* Simple quick effective --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
