Buggy UI

I consistently have problems with managing my days and proper tracking. I was hopeful it would work as expected

Nice when it works

Unfortunately, this app is too unreliable. It seems to totally die once in a while, forcing you to uninstall and reinstall it. Killing the app does nothing.

Buggy

I'd love to use this app. But when I went to enter days from earlier in the year, in some cases, it just spins around. If you go to edit the number of days you had put in and change the location, it just says you already have days saved in this location. If it would function properly, then I'd love it. As it is, all I did is waste at least a half hour of my time so thanks for nothing. Try selling the app when it doesn't have any bugs in it and then maybe I'll be happy to subscribe.

Response from developer

I apologize for the inconvenience caused by the missing days input. Could you kindly send an email to support@taxbird.com with your account details? We’d be happy to assist you with this issue.

Crashes!

App instantly crashes when I manually try to add the UAE as location for a specific time. Useless piece of software.

Very crash prone

I’ve been using this app for one and a half years on a iPhone 16 Max .This is probably the worst piece of software I have used in my 40 years of using computer computers. It constantly crashes, for example if the user selects an overseas destination, say Switzerland, it displays Denmark. If the users select Germany, the app crashes. Repeatedly.
We plan to discontinue this app as soon as 2025 is over.
Buyer beware !
