Absolutely ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2020-03-10* Even though this app works fine, every other time you put a new value in you’re presented with a full-screen advertisement with a countdown timer. Way too intrusive and waste of time. (Yes I know it’s free because of ads but this is ridiculous.) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-03-14* Every attempt to use the app takes you to an advertiser page and there is no way to cancel it. I don’t mind paying for an app but this one is abusive. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2018-12-20, version 1.0.0* Only goes back to 1913. Not UK pounds. Atrocious use of interruptive advertising. Not worth bothering with. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only goes back to 1913 thru 2019 *2023-08-07* Useless app ### 1/5 — Too old *2023-06-12* It’s 2022 ### 1/5 — Floods you with ads *2022-11-27* Floods you with ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2021-12-09* First ad hits before you can enter any data ### 1/5 — Beware. *2021-01-17, version 1.2.0* It doesn’t include pound Sterling!!!! Didn’t see that when I purchased it which was my fault. A complete waste of money unless you live in one of the few countries it covers, and only then only up to 2019. ### 1/5 — AD HELL!! *2020-07-11* Useless. Can’t even use it because of ads. Type 2 numbers and POW! an ad pops up that can’t be closed. Trashed immediately. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — AD *2020-05-16* This app is just a big AD ### 1/5 — Ridiculously intrusive ads *2020-05-15* I don’t mind an ad-supported app, but they’re constant and unnecessarily noisy. No thanks. ### 1/5 — does not show future inflation *2020-04-25* just ads and just shows you up to 2019 we are in 2020 need to calculated other years past 2020 this app does not provide such info ### 1/5 — ADS *2020-04-13* Have to pay for everything and ridiculous number of ads ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best inflation calculator *2018-10-25* Easy to use and accurate. Helped me figure out if my salary was really equal to what engineers made a few years back. ### 3/5 — Out of date database *2025-02-23* It’s 2025 and this only goes to 2023 ### 3/5 — Needs update to 2021 *2021-08-18* Only goes up to 2019 ### 3/5 — Year range is too limited. *2019-08-10* The earliest year you can go on this calculator which is 1913. Not helpful to me at all if I’m checking years earlier than this for inflation rates. The app pulls up dollar amounts fast but I think I’m going to delete it. ### 2/5 — Stop spamming us with ad? *2025-03-30* They get you to buy the app but you won’t be able to use it for more than 4 seconds before an INESCAPABLE AD pops up & won’t go away - no x to close it out either - just google the info it’s app can give you ### 2/5 — Doesn’t seem to be updated past 2019... otherwise cool. *2021-01-15* Basic, if you want to use it more than once pay to get rid of the ads, there are tons of them. I paid for all the updates thinking it would add the inflation info through the end of last year, but it didn’t. So I guess you are stuck in 2019. ### 2/5 — *Way* too many ads!!!!! *2020-01-19* Oppressive ads!!!!!!!!! Holy crap, turn it down some! I can hardly use the ap effectively without some ad being shoved in my face! ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2019-01-11* I didn’t even get a chance to use the app. Every time I tried to do anything on it an ad pops up. After the ad was over I proceeded to try to use it and not more than 5 seconds later another ad pops up. Ahhhh ok.
