However this year the 2025 points upgrade has not been available for purchase as of today. The support link in the App Store does not connect to the developer indicating the server cannot be found. I’m disappointed that a wonderful app is no longer supported. ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-08-18* Loved this app but it is no longer being updated. It was great while it lasted. ### 3/5 — Was a Great App *2024-06-29* Great App but surprisingly doesn't gave 2025 year points. ### 3/5 — Still the best DVC point app *2023-01-09* Updated: found when I add banking and borrowing to a saved vacation it does not come back next time I open the app. When I try clicking the “email developer” button on the feedback page the app crashes. Dropped a star since it’s useless if it doesn’t save the borrowing for my trips. I still use this DVC point app over the various others I have tried. The only annoying issue when using the calculate vacation part and you have dates set in the future and want to edit them, it always starts on current date and not check in date currently set. So if you are planning 7 to 11 months out or more, you have to get back to the time frame you are looking at. And as I said in previous review better long term point tracking and management would make it a five star app. ### 4/5 — Love this app! Very user friendly.. *2020-01-03, version 4.91* I love this app Very user friendly, can save vacation to compare.. Gave 4 stars Bc the 2021 point charts up are not available yet. ### 2/5 — Useless *2019-02-23, version 4.80* Can’t access 2020 points. The 11th window officially pushes us into 2020- so? What’s app with that? Fix it. ### 3/5 — Like but don't like *2016-01-04, version 4.26* Love the way the app runs and is used. But now it is useless because you have to purchase the next use year. Now I will just have to go on DVC website to calculate. 5 star rating if it stayed free. ### 1/5 — Not free *2015-12-17, version 4.26* App does nothing for free and is expensive for not much in app. ### 1/5 — It's a trap *2015-11-24, version 4.26* App only works if you make an in-app purchase. Bad bad business strategy. ### 1/5 — No functionality without paying! *2015-11-18, version 4.26* Had the potential to be very useful but you can only access the calendar for point calculation if you pay for it. I'll stick to the static points charts. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2015-09-01, version 4.25* Used to be good. Don't bother with it now ### 1/5 — D point *2015-08-23, version 4.25* Used to be a great app. Now it's terrible. I payed for the premium version of app and now I have to pay for 2016 points? I do not recommend this app at all ### 2/5 — Where is 2016 points? *2015-08-16, version 4.25* I downloaded because it says it has 2016 points, only to find out it doesn't, ### 1/5 — Don't Bother *2015-06-30, version 4.22* Terrible user interface. Couldn't figure out how to use it. And furthermore when I removed it, it crashed my IPHONE!! Garbage!! ### 1/5 — Your kidding right? *2015-06-06, version 4.22* I just paid the .99 for the app only to find out that in order to calculate the points needed for next year I have to cough up another .99. Should have been more clear in the description that it is only good for the current year. ### 1/5 — It was better *2015-05-05, version 4.22* Previous version did not require additional payment when looking for a vacation in the next calendar year. Even the avatar is a downgrade, a solid blue blob with a typed DCV vs the attractive D on red, very sad. Too bad, I really enjoyed the earlier version and used it often to create different vacation scenerios. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — All done *2025-08-06* No updates for 2025 this app is dead, thanks for nothing! ### 1/5 — No longer supports *2025-07-12* Was a great app but they no longer maintain this app. ### 1/5 — 2025 Points *2025-06-17* The app has not been updated for 2 years, which is a shame. I’ve used this app for a number of years and enjoyed it. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-12-01* I have paid for updates and the app with don’t allow me to select dates ### 1/5 — RIP off *2018-09-16, version 4.62* I paid for this app several years ago as a one off payment & now it’s demanding I pay more money to use it for my next vacation. Total rip off ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-06-07, version 4.62* After paying for 2019 I am unable to go past December 2018. The pop up window tells me I have paid for it but not able to use it. What’s going on? ### 1/5 — So sad *2018-01-25, version 4.60* I loved this app until the last update. It’s useless now, won’t calculate any trips without forcing me to upgrade and when I try to pay for 2019, it dies. ### 1/5 — Junk *2018-01-13, version 4.60* After a free download it wanted a donation to check points past March 2018 deleted as far as downloaded ### 1/5 — Pay for 2016 points...really?? *2016-01-05, version 4.26* As mentioned by other reviewers not going to pay for 2016 points. Just go to DVC site. ### 1/5 — In-App Purchases went to far. *2015-12-26* This app use to be really good for tracking point usage, but has now made a turn for the worst. I tried to check dates for 2016 and it prompts you to purchase the 2016 calendar, it is December of 2015. From now on I'll just call Disney or use the point book to calculate the points. To the developers; if you switch back to the previous version I would be happy to give you a 5 star review, but for now you ruined a good thing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best Program for DVC Members. *2025-01-13* This is truly a remarkable program. I am not sure why there aren’t thousands and thousands of positive reviews. It is filled with features, such as maximizing your points and seeing which resort you can get the most bang for your buck/points. Five stars. I have been using this for years, and has never let me down. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-10-26* Very easy to use. Accurate points and the developer reply’s to you within a day when you send him a message. I always use this app before going to the website ### 5/5 — D Point *2015-12-31, version 4.26* I am impressed how folks who spend $15,000 to join the Disney Vacation Club are angry when they need to pay a dollar or two for this app. I love the ease of use and ability to plan my vacations. ### 5/5 — Very Helpful!! *2015-02-25, version 4.21* It allows you to maximize your points quickly!! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2015-01-11, version 4.20* I'm a DVC member and have been using this app to plan all of my trips to Disney since this app first came out. I love it and couldn't plan a trip without it! Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Excellent work keep it up!!!!! *2015-01-10, version 4.20* I've been using this app for a long time and is excellent. I know exactly what I need when I planned for a Disney vacation. Thank you. I appreciate the work and effort you put into the app. Thanks for the updates!!!! It works great!!! Excellent work!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-01-10, version 4.10* Use it to plan my vacations and very easy and fun to use. ### 5/5 — Great update *2015-01-06, version 4.00* I’ve used this app for a number of years and it’s my goto app for DVC planning. It keeps getting better. I wonder if the prior reviewer tried asking for help rather than complaining here. ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-12-14, version 4.00* This is a must have for DVC members. Quickly figure out how many points you need for a vacation and save for future reference. No need to go online or consult your members book. ### 5/5 — Excellent for planning *2014-11-30, version 3.31* I love using this app for planning. It drops my reminder dates right into my calendar. I can try out several scenarios to see what gives me the most days for my points. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
