### 5/5 — Really useful app

*2026-04-20*

Date Wheel is an uncomplicated, intuitive app that proves its usefulness in many situations. When you need it, it’s there.

### 5/5 — After 8+ Years, Still Awesome :-)

*2025-10-07*

I've been using this forEVER, and have found it SUPER useful all the way through :-) :-) :-) You can figure out how many Business-Days/calendar-weeks/months it is until a date u enter, OR you can leave the end date blank, and enter a # for one of those units of time, then see which date results :-) :-) :-)
Also, you can choose whether or not to include the start date /today in the calculation, which is very helpful :-)

### 5/5 — STILL loving this app :-) :-) :-)

*2025-09-06, version 1.9.0*

My first review was from 7 years ago (& app. is still working great); everything I wrote then is true now; VERY useful app! :-) :-) :-) Oh, new comment: PERFECT for figuring out on exactly which date your medication will run out :-)

### 5/5 — Love this APP

What it comes to building a schedule this APP makes life so much easier. It  eliminates errors in counting days and puts durations at my fingertips.  A total favorite.

### 4/5 — Excep date tool

The Date Wheel works as advertised and is quite simple to use. Good to have as an APP on the iPad for when one is in a meeting and needs to correctly calculate a date forward or backward.

*2024-04-06*

I’ve used this app for years. It’s awesome! Perfect replacement for a physical date wheel!

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2023-12-16*

I use this app to calculate deadlines in my law practice. It’s very useful. I’ve used others that are not nearly as functional as this one. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Creative

*2022-06-26, version 1.9.0*

I love that I can easily use realtime calculations in creative writing projects.⚡️

### 1/5 — There is no Wheel!

*2022-03-16*

Just bought this date wheel. 

It’s just input table, there is no wheel. I had an app on my old phone with the two wheels you could spin and it was excellent. 

Just wasted $5!!!

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2020-09-26, version 1.9.0*

Super tool for work and other uses.
