### 3/5 — Please update to latest tax rates. Great app

*2023-02-13, version 5.1*

Great app if updated.

### 4/5 — Would be 5/5 but no longer updated

*2022-12-17, version 5.1*

Great app, used for years however not updated in ages and the tax bracket changes render the app out of date for any calculations beyond the 180 limit

### 4/5 — Update required

*2019-03-12, version 5.1*

It would be nice if it could be updated to the latest tax year 2018-19

### 2/5 — No longer in date

*2018-10-04, version 5.1*

This was a great app but sadly it doesn’t have tax rates after the 2016/2017 tax year so isn’t of any use anymore. It should be removed from the App Store if it isn’t updated.
