### 1/5 — Location detection is OFF!!

*2026-06-30*

At least half a mile from actual location!

### 2/5 — The Current Version Is Not Accurate

*2026-03-01*

Every time I check a location the information is incorrect by several cents. I purchased a vehicle from Toyota of Tacoma. The app says .103 but the rate is really .108. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Communist state

*2026-01-26, version 2.3.2*

Crooks and thieves in Olympia Washington and this app sucks

### 3/5 — Needs 2026 Update

*2026-01-12, version 2.3.1*

It doesn’t have all 2026 tax rates. But before this it was 5 stars

### 1/5 — Rates are wrong

*2025-12-02, version 2.3.1*

If you can’t trust it, it is worthless. Tax rates are wrong for multiple areas in WA state. Was good, now garbage.

### 1/5 — App no longer supported?

*2025-07-19, version 2.2.1*

This used to be a very helpful app.  Unfortunately, it is no longer functioning, and hasn’t been for months.  The apparency is that it’s simply not being supported anymore.

### 5/5 — Diego Vallejos

*2025-06-05, version 2.2.1*

Excellent app, thanks

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-03-22, version 2.2.1*

at first it worked well, now this app doesn't see my geolocation, it says that I'm out of state

### 5/5 — Really great productive app

*2024-10-20*

A lot of the complaints mentioned in other reviews have been addressed and it’s really productive now

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-05, version 2.1.8*

Worked fine for several months now it’s stopped working
