## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Loved the old version of the app

*2025-08-31*

Now it’s very confusing, not going to use it anymore.

### 1/5 — Terrible update

*2025-08-16*

Whatever change they made to this app, they messed it up and made it more complicated than it needs to be.

### 1/5 — Incorrect

*2022-02-26*

I’m still a newbie but these calculations are way off. I’ve put in my wax weight and my amount for FO and it gives me the wrong numbers. I calculate on my own to get the right info. This app is giving the wrong measurements and will waste you time and money.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2020-11-17*

The math calculations are incorrect for finding FO%.

### 2/5 — Used to be great

*2025-08-22*

So confusing now

### 2/5 — Its ok

*2021-02-20*

The measurements dont really work when you’re using smaller numbers, and you always end up making more than you need.

### 2/5 — Typos

*2021-01-27*

There are some typos in the app. Please reread your work as this is being presented to many people who are new to candle making. I also do not understand the app. It’s not user-friendly.

### 3/5 — Not exactly accurate

*2022-11-12*

I like the features it offers but the calculation is not accurate enough. I expected to fill an 8oz vessel and got more like 6.5 because of how the app rounds.

### 3/5 — SPELL CHECK

*2022-01-26*

There really needs to be a spell check here. I have never ever seen an app with so many misspellings! Whoever wrote this really needs to get back on here and fix it it’s literally bugging me. Also you need to make the formula easier. People download these apps because we need an easy quick answer, I know how to use it but some people are going to get very confused.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2020-12-30*

As a beginner this helps me a lot!

### 5/5 — The best calculator

*2021-06-14*

I really like this app. It has become so easy to calculate the wax and the fragrance oil ratio while making candles. Also it gives the reverse calculated ratio too. I am so impressed with this app. Thank you so much whoever has developed this app. Thanks a ton.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-03-26*

This is the best app that I have used. I am able calculate wax and oil I need for every vessel and its perfect with the percentage option too.

### 4/5 — Great app, lacks the wax weight in Oz

*2020-09-27*

Great app, but I still have an additional calculation with wax weight ‘pounds to ounces’. I know nobody that weights the wax weight by pounds when pouring?
