Just go to the GSA website and use the per diem information from there, accurate and assuredly less frustrating . ### 1/5 — Still Broken *2022-01-24, version 2.3* This app does not work. It will only find and display your current location. You cannot search any other location. Settings is blank. Total garbage. ### 1/5 — App No Longer Works *2022-01-06, version 2.3* Toward the end of 2021 the app stop functioning and would close itself any time you searched for a location. Several of my colleagues had the same issue. I tried deleting and reinstalling with the current iOS at that time to no avail. I just tried again on 01/06/22 and the app still doesn’t work. It no longer closes itself out, but all the locations are blank and search function doesn’t work. It’s like a shell of an app…there’s a structure but nothing functions. ### 1/5 — No search *2021-11-15, version 2.3* Only works for current location. No search capability. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-11-04, version 2.3* App doesn’t do anything. Cannot search for rates. Only displays current location. ### 1/5 — Works half the time *2021-10-18, version 2.3* Waste of time. Deleted ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-09-26, version 2.3* Waste of time and garbage… Does not work at all. Deleting from my phone. ### 1/5 — Outdated data *2020-03-09, version 2.0* HELLO, it’s 2020...any plans on updating the data ? ### 1/5 — 2012 data *2017-02-27, version 1.2.1* Worthless unless updated ### 1/5 — Outdated *2016-01-30, version 1.2.1* Please update this app! Rates are 2012... ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2015-06-09, version 1.2.1* Outdated and inaccurate. Not worth the few second it takes to download. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2014-12-28, version 1.2.1* App only has rates from 2012. Uploaded most updated version. Waste of space and time. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2014-10-10, version 1.2.1* Info is 2 years old. ### 1/5 — Severely out of date *2014-09-19, version 1.2.1* Latest database is 2 years old. Don't waste your time ### 1/5 — Bad search results and incorrect rates *2012-09-25, version 1.2.1* Search results are incomplete. For instance in looking for Washington DC I got no results. Could not find surrounding cities either (i.e. Alexandria or Arlington). Found District of Columbia but rates were wrong (displayed standard rates only). ### 1/5 — No *2012-06-17, version 1.2* This is a terrible Ap. They cannot even spell the states correctly let alone give accurate info. ### 1/5 — no good *2011-11-21, version 1.1* does not work on ipad ### 1/5 — Wrong rates *2011-06-28, version 1.1* Wrong too many times. Deleted ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Still useless *2026-07-21, version 2.8.1* I saw the 1 star rating from 4 years ago and thought the stated issue would be fixed. If you are trying to get domestic rates, you are out of luck. I tried to get info for a west coast trip and it is useless for some on the east coast. ### 1/5 — It Doesn’t Work *2025-10-11, version 2.8.1* By definition, this needs to work. It doesn’t. One star because I can’t give zero. Literally, it doesn’t do anything. Edited to add, as of 10/11/25, it STILL doesn’t work. Everything defaults to Standard PeR Didm. Just Google the GSA site instead. ### 1/5 — Still broken *2024-09-20, version 2.6* You can’t input any location in the search bar. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-07-26, version 2.6* GARBAGE !!!! Won’t search anything but your location. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-06-07, version 2.6* Nothing you can do to make it work Can’t enter new location Change Fav location Yes no good ### 1/5 — It Doesn’t Work *2024-01-18* By definition, this needs to work. It doesn’t. One star because I can’t give zero. Literally, it doesn’t do anything. ### 1/5 — Total waste *2023-11-08, version 2.5* I’d give it minus stars if I could, does not work. ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-08-22, version 2.3* Giving you season of 2020 to 2021. We are in 2022. What good does this do us!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-05-18, version 2.3* The app does not work only gives you current location ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-04-27, version 2.3* Literally does nothing but give you the rate where you at at the moment. Trash ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — 2011 *2010-12-08, version 0* Will you have 2011 rates soon? How about iPad app.? ### 3/5 — Simple & Easy *2010-09-16, version 0* Although this is not a robust, multiple-functional app, if you need to know stateside lodging, MIE, and per diem rates, this is it. Easier than trying to go thru the browser to GSA and make your way to the location you need. ### 3/5 — Only has State side Per Diem rates *2010-06-19, version 0* I give it 3 stars because it works well in the states, I would add 2 more stars for a perfect 5 if it incorporated overseas Per Diem rates. I work for the State Department, while the app can accurately provide rates for within the U.S. It does not have overseas Per Diem rates. So for someone like me who spends 75% of the year traveling overseas it is completely useless unless it was updated to provide overseas rates. ### 2/5 — Good but dated *2013-09-20, version 1.2.1* This app is handy but the data is for 2012. The rates have not been updated for 2013. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
