Wouldn’t work
App would not function after downloading
Before and After
I started using the FIREcalc calculator and this forum four years before I retired and have continued using it 16 months after retirement. I think I will use it from now on. FIRECALC and the forum were my major support in making the decision to retire. I've learned about withdrawal methods from people who are do it yourselfers with real life experience. Every time I go to the forum I learn something new.

A Forum Dominated By Spreadsheet Nerds
That's good as they are honest and data driven. What's not great is the heavy use of acronyms, many specific to the forum. Plus there are acronyms that are specific to the individual writer. Some posts require a translator. There really isn't any need for the use of many acronyms. Just use speech to text software.

Too much censorship
This app had a great potential to be helpful in planning for an early retirement. However, unfortunately the forum suffers from over moderation by a bunch of censors that are very much into themselves and censor not only anything even mildly political, but any criticism of the censorship itself as well. As a result the forum is nearly useless.

Minimal
Does the job but as feature-less as an app can get.
Good way to read the forums on the go
Now I can keep up with the forums wherever I go
Excellent app. Easier to use than the browser!

Great stuff
Always learn a lot from the forums. On my way to freedom.
Early Retirement
Great forum for those approaching retirement and those of us that have finished our careers. Very good info and various perspectives on issues we face. I read it every day.
Excellent Source of Valuable Information
This has been one of the most valuable apps I've downloaded to my iPad. I've learned so much about investing for retirement and the process of transitioning into this phase of life. I read the forum everyday. I look forward to future software app update with new screen design for easier reading and navigating.

Real Help
Anyone looking for a reality check on your plan or your financial planners, this is a great resource!
Nice layout
Much cleaner than the full site. Re: the dead spots on the Ipad, I was having this trouble as well but rebooted the Ipad and everything is working fine now.
Problem with buttons in margins
Please fix the latest edition. I have to keep rotating my iPad to avoid the 'dead' sides of the iPad. This occurs ONLY on ER app!
The bottom and right edge of iPad don't recognize being touched. If you turn the iPad upside down the 'dead' areas move. This happens on my iPad 2 and iPad 3 - and only with this app!

Works great
Use the app as a companion to the home pc. Works great.
Was great, now totally screwed up on iPad2!
The first version of this app was wonderful. Then, following the latest 'upgrade', many links became nonfunctional. No amount of manipulation, workarounds or reinstalling solves the problem. Delete!
Great forum
Learn a lot from great members
Oops!
The latest update is fairly flakey on the iPad 2. Some buttons along the top and bottom only work in certain device orientations. A few (like login!) don't work for me in any orientation. The usual tricks of force quitting, restarting the iPad, or deleting the app and its data and reinstalling don't correct this. (This "feels like" an uninitialized data bug, which often leads to behaviors that vary wildly from user to user.)
Prior updates worked very well, and I found the app faster to use than the web browser interface.

I found this app and the site very informative and thought provoking. I am now a regular user. Great subject matter for a ton of concerned people.
Love this app!
