### 1/5 — Free version doesn’t work

*2020-10-20*

App is totally unusable unless you buy the pro version. In the free version all drop boxes are empty and you can’t calculate anything.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2020-04-11*

Useless! Literally doesn’t work. Shouldn’t even be in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2019-04-24*

Requires you to choose a type of material but the list is blank so you unable to progress - note: only giving one star because you have to give one to submit rating - not worth any stars

### 1/5 — Useless without buying app

*2019-04-08*

This seemed like a reasonable app to estimate some mulch. However, they’ve rendered the free version of the app useless by requiring input of material type and not allowing the user to select a material type. Based on that interface alone, I do not feel encouraged to upgrade to their supposed “pro” app. Beware! Stay away!!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2019-03-29*

It’s bait.  Doesn’t work unless you buy the upgrade.

### 1/5 — A waste of my time

*2018-05-09*

Knowing that you can’t input the settings you can’t use the app.  What’s the point?
Further the update site doesn’t load !!!

### 1/5 — Worth app

*2017-04-06*

The worst app ever the don't let you do anything

### 1/5 — Your joking right?

*2017-01-23*

There is zero use of this app without upgrading to pro.  It won't allow you to enter they type of material, which is the very first question it requires an answer to, without paying money.
Junk!

### 1/5 — Stupid App

*2016-11-27*

I can't get it to do anything either

### 1/5 — Junk

*2016-05-27*

Couldn't get it to do anything. Useless. Don't bother.
