Perfect!

I use it almost everyday, it’s perfect if you’re curious about our money throughout history, like when you’re watching a documentary

Not quite major problems

Annoying things are that as a paid customer, every single time I open the app it tells me that I need to buy a subscription to use. It ultimately lets me in and recognizes that I’ve paid, but that’s stupid and shouldn’t be. And ALSO stupid is that data for the Canadian dollar doesn’t go back past like 1914 or something. I’ll be looking for a better app that does this job if these two problems aren’t fixed with a long overdue update.

Update: my previous rating was three stars but the developer responded to my review specifically and corrected the issues I mentioned. Very impressive.

This used to be an easy to use free app. Now they want you to pay for it Weekly and the UI stinks

Another local quality marginal app trying to cash in and get in your pocket on a weekly basis while offering very little value. No thanks. Uninstall.

Lost my purchase

I paid 2.99 for this app a few years ago but I can no longer access the premium perks of it and is asking me again to pay. Plus it onboards every time which is inconvenient.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I've just released an update that should fix your issue of not being able to access the premium features and the repeated onboarding. If it does, I'd greatly appreciate an updated rating! If not, please contact me at birchgroveapps@gmail.com and I'll get it straightened out for you right away. All the best.

Shouldn’t have to pay

Not worth the money. I get y’all gotta keep the servers up and running, but really? A subscription to a *calculator*? Do you realise how crazy that sounds? Shouldn’t have to pay to access it. Just use adverts or something. I think we can agree that this is a good and necessary thing to have, but I think that’s all the more reason to make it free with ads and then have a “premium” ad-free version. I am sick and tired of having to pay a subscription to use everything I come across. That’s not a bandwagon worth hopping on.

Hi SBeeny, I appreciate your feedback! I've just released an update that does include some ads in exchange for being able to access all features. If this addresses your issue I'd be grateful if you could update your review! If you ever have other suggestions don't hesitate to reach out to birchgroveapps@gmail.com.

App doesn’t work

I used this app for years when it was free, just for fun, informational purposes. When they started charging for the app, I purchased it for a year and it hasn’t worked since! It used to be one of the best apps and now I regret purchasing it!

Response from developer

Hi JLKVL, I'm so sorry to hear that you regret purchasing the app. I've just released an update that fixes a number of bugs and the app should now be working properly again. Please contact me at birchgroveapps@gmail.com so that I can issue you a refund. All the best.

Charging for third time

Charging for third time for an annual subscription within the same year, not sure what’s going on with the app hoping for a fix soon.

$8.99 a year! Really??

I downloaded this thinking it was a free app, but after 3 days, it talks me I have to pay to use it! Why on Earth would anybody pay €8.99 a year for this (or any similar) app, when you can just Google the same information for free??

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! There is now a free ad-supported option available if you'd prefer not to pay the subscription fee. Feel free to reach out at birchgroveapps@gmail.com if you have any questions. All the best.

You’re charging now?

This app has been free for years. I can just Google what’s on this app and get it for free. You can take your monthly charge and stick it.

It’s awful.

Don’t waste your money.

Inflation calculator

This has been my go to inflation calculator. Kudos to the development team and this year’s update with graphs.

Keep up the good work!

Response from developer

Hi TJoeDolf, thank you for the review! I'm so happy that you're finding the inflation calculator useful. Please contact me at birchgroveapps@gmail.com if you ever have any suggestions!

billed twice?

I just purchased this app, the inflation calculator on my iPhone. It won’t open on my iPad unless I pay for it again why?

Only goes back to 1914

This app doesn’t provide calculations prior to 1914.

This information is available for free on different conversion websites.

It would be worth paying the subscription fee if this app provided calculations for many more years not readily available with a Google search, but it doesn’t.

Until this app provides value for money, don’t waste your time.

It's a just a calculator. Just use Google instead

Why is an inflation calculator cost money? I don't see this is something that would be use often as a utility.

$8.84/yr NOT free

App lets you try for free, then charges $8.84/yr NOT free

Best Inflation Calculator I’ve used

This thing is so useful and has all of the currency’s.

Response from developer

Thanks TheChent! It's much appreciated. I'm glad you're finding the Inflation Calculator useful.

A subscription for a calculator.

Nope. Nope. Nope. I am not paying a yearly fee for a calculator. I’m more than happy to pay for the app, but I’m *not* paying a subscription for a calculator.

Does not restore your subscription.

Every time I tap on restore subscription, it either doesn’t response or opens up safari with “https” in the URL. I checked my subscription list and it shows inactive. Please fix or refund me. Thanks.

So practical

With inflation rampant and impacting everyone needs this app to understand the true and equivalent costs
