When it works, it is almost 5-stars worthy. But when it doesn’t unexpectedly, as is the case for me right now, it is frankly useless. Dear Developer: PLEASE fix issue whereby values snap to zero when switching from one calculation to another!!!! ### 2/5 — Bug - App freezes when changing % in settings *2018-01-08* I just downloaded the app today and it works fine until I go into setting and try to adjust the % min and % max. The window freezes on the calculator and my only option is to uninstall and reinstall which resets the settings to default - same freeze happens when I try again. ### 4/5 — Review update *2015-06-05* Removing and reinstalling seems to have fixed. Rating adjusted. Previous review Can't enter data anymore. Fields just register zeroes. Hopefully will be fixed soon as very useful. Facility to take off VAT would also be handy. ### 4/5 — Pretty good! *2015-03-16* This app is pretty quick and easy to use and fairly straightforward. My only quibble is with the design: I'd like to be able to have a perfectly plain background. I find the textured background distracting. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2013-02-21, version 5.7.1* I use this app weekly to prepare budgets and programming. Great for "what if" scenarios. ### 5/5 — Recommended *2012-12-06* Simple, intuitive, great support ### 5/5 — Can't sell without it!! *2012-10-02* Great app for figuring out gross margin! ### 4/5 — Great app! But... *2012-10-02* This app makes my life so easy. Easy to use. Wish it calculated cost % too. Just because I'm a bit lazy. ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-07-17* Would highly recommend this easy to use app. ### 4/5 — Really useful app *2012-05-18, version 5.6.2* Very quick, clear and simple. No more than is needed. A very useful tool ### 5/5 — Rep *2012-05-02, version 5.6.2* LIFESAVER for the mathematically challenged! Making my job SO much easier!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Margin calculator *2026-01-27, version 7.2.1* I had this on my iPad and it worked great but the version on my phone is very clunky and confusing to use . ### 1/5 — Worst calculator *2023-03-23* Very hard to use and confusing, does not calculate correctly sometimes. Waste of money and time. Please do not pay for this app or use this app. Save your money and time for better app than this one. ### 1/5 — Not getting the correct margin *2023-02-07* We are a retail location and it’s not doing the right margins it’s off. ### 1/5 — App just clears back to zero when entering 2nd figure *2017-11-16* App doesn't work. Type in any 2 part combination and goes back to zero. Wish I read previous reviews before downloading- lesson learned. Any idea how to fix as feel robbed! Require refund or how to fix ? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2017-10-09* Useless app don’t waste your money. Can I have a refund please? ### 1/5 — Update ruined the app *2014-09-08* I was using this everyday, not anymore. It is very buggy and sometimes the numbers don't actually calculate. This app could cost me money in the end by not calculating my profits. Please update with fixes or I will be deleting. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2013-05-22, version 5.7.1* Something wrong with this APP that calculation completely wrong ! Almost lose money when tried to calculate the mark up !!!!!! ### 1/5 — Not worth the 1.99 *2011-12-07, version 5.6.2* Found a way better app for all my fellow salesmen and saleswomen called "Gross margin" look it up. ### 1/5 — MedSales *2011-04-17, version 5.6.0* I believe this app is awesome if it would only WORK!!!!! it CRASHES!!! I used it once and it was awesome, but AWESOME AS BECOME CRAPPY! Fix It ASAP!!! ### 2/5 — Very hard to use *2021-10-07* Very confusing and hard to use. Get a free o e ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What happened *2020-10-29* So far no stars. I gave it one but it should be zero. Won't calculate. Numbers won't stay in place. Very disappointed. Used previous version for 2 years. It was perfect. Updated and it went for crap. Same here. Update wrecked it all. Fix this. Yup. Updated to latest version and it doesn’t work at all. Been using this app for more than five years. Worked great. Now it’s kaput! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2019-11-25, version 7.2.0* I have used this app for several years. It is the best of this type available. No other app is as easy to use, has the same level of features or is as well designed. Forget the rest you need this today. ### 5/5 — Time management *2019-03-22* Great to use with customers in real time to set pricing. Easy to use interface, takes the guess work out of margins and profits. Having this tool has helped capture sales on the spot. ### 5/5 — Good app *2016-05-17, version 7.0.0* It works well - and nice to have at your fingertips ### 5/5 — Incredibly convenient *2015-07-12* This is an awesome tool, one of those great ones that makes you say,"Wow, so glad I own an iPhone." Beautiful presentation, the ability to find profit percentage forward or backwards, and flawless execution. 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Was great *2015-06-27, version 7.0.0* This was a real simple highly effective app! Then the latest release with the apple watch app came out! Now nothing works, you put figures in and nothing happens on the watch (which I have) or the phone! This is now completely useless!! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! Best $1 spent on an app yet! *2014-08-04* This is a brilliant tool for business. Quickly calculating margins, profits and impacts of discounts has never been easier. Sure you can do all of this with the built in calculator, but why would you? You'll look like a bumbling fool as you franticly punch in numbers trying to negiotiate a sale price. The ability to quickly see what impact a price, a percent discount or a dollar value discount will have on your bottom line is fantastic! Update: Version 2 just made a great app even better. The currency conversions are very handy and the snap slider makes it easy to hone in on that perfect price. Update: Version 4 adds yet another round of great improvements and features. The 4 function calculator on rhe number pad makes it easy to tally up a list to calculate cost/price. This developer keeps adding and improving! Update: New name. Still the best margin calculator in the App Store! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-03-02, version 5.7.1* Great for business! ### 5/5 — Great Tool! *2014-01-16, version 5.7.1* Every salesperson should have it. ### 5/5 — Useful Tool *2013-09-13, version 5.7.1* Very useful tool for calculating margins and profit percentage. Easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
