### 2/5 — Loan app or ad portal??

*2026-02-13, version 3.8.3*

Used for years and now going elsewhere.  Previous years ads every once in awhile. Now it can’t wait for you to press calculate. The button should say sit back and enjoy the show before we calculate.

### 1/5 — Not so good

*2026-01-21, version 3.8.1*

It’s a calculator that has sooooo many ads it’s unruly

### 1/5 — Used to be a really good calculator

*2026-01-20, version 3.8.1*

I used to really like this loan calculator but anymore you can’t even use it because of the ads I’m looking for another app because I can’t stand this one anymore for having to close out all the ads that pop up.

### 1/5 — $100 for an excel spreadsheet

*2026-01-14, version 3.7.0*

$100!?!

### 1/5 — Joke of an app

*2026-01-06, version 3.7.0*

This is an ad machine, not a calculator.

Lots of ads. Every new calculation will result in an ad. Wtf!

### 1/5 — Ads that have no way to close.

Pop ip ads that have no way to close except to close the app.

Too many adds

### 1/5 — It use to be good!

*2025-11-11, version 3.6.2*

It now forces you to watch ad after ad.  Don’t get it, a waste of your time.

### 1/5 — Unleavable ads

*2025-10-22, version 3.6.2*

I don’t mind an ad. But there is no getting out of them

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-09-27, version 3.6.2*

Requires you to watch ads still doesn’t produce. The calculation wants you to subscribe to a monthly service. It’s awful. I wouldn’t even trust it to be on my phone after seeing it run.

### 2/5 — Very annoying ads

*2025-07-25, version 3.4.0*

Every couple of times you change numbers in the calculation a very loud, low budget add for online loans pops up over the entire screen. The most annoying ads I’ve seen on an app. There’s way too many other options out there to keep this app.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-06-08, version 3.4.0*

### 5/5 — Adds

*2022-11-19, version 2.6.0*

Perfect except for adds

### 5/5 — Can’t unlock Ads

*2022-08-10, version 2.5.0*

Love this app but tired of the constant ads. Can’t find how to pay to remove it

### 5/5 — Great little App

*2022-04-12, version 2.5.0*

I love this app. It gives you a lot of complex data in a very small program of only 9 MB as of April 2022. They update this app regularly which is a good sign that they are fixing bugs and adding features on a regular basis. I really wish they would give less advertisements or at least advertisements without so much noise and pizzazz because when you’re in a meeting with someone the last thing you want is an app to give you a loud video advertisement.I would buy the app but I think it’s a little expensive at 6 to 7 dollars for the lifetime updates. I think they should be priced more around 3 to 4 dollars.

### 5/5 — Very useful tool

*2022-03-11, version 2.5.0*

Easy to use and understand. Very helpful.
