I purchased a vehicle from Toyota of Tacoma. The app says .103 but the rate is really .108. Very disappointing. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Taxing Period *2022-05-02, version 2.0.52* There’s no ability to change the period for which you want the tax rate. On April 1st, the app provides Q2 rates, but I’m still looking for Q1 rates. ### 3/5 — App worked great *2020-09-25, version 2.0.52* This app worked great until recently it won’t pull up anything. ### 2/5 — 2.0 no improvement *2019-07-24, version 2.0.52* 2.0 is not an improvement didn’t need to change the format it’s less convenient to use and smaller text ### 1/5 — Effectively useless *2019-07-14, version 2.0.52* Lacks categories of goods and services to determine if they're taxable and by how much. There's no state tax rate and local rate for a given county. App is pathetic. ### 2/5 — Why did you ruin it? *2019-07-02, version 2.0.52* This was a great app. Now it’s slow. Several times it’s told me I was out of state. Worst of all is you changed the size of the numbers. Now I can’t see them without my glasses. ### 2/5 — No updates in 3 years? *2019-01-27, version 1.0.10* I got this app because the website tax calculator suggested it. I was looking specifically at car tax rates, which is different than my local tax rate, but that option isn’t available on the app. Even more disappointed the state thinks you just make an app and that’s it. Apps require updates in code for security (c’mon we’re putting addresses in here!) and features, like the car tax calculations. I could see all kinds of uses for this, if they’d only give it support. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2018-05-09, version 1.0.10* All I want to know is the location of the % what the retail tax is instead I have to type an address of my client. What a waste of time ### 3/5 — No send button or escape from address field *2017-10-26, version 1.0.10* Very cool app! But, if you go to share, the send button disappears after putting an email address in, And if you click in the address field but want to click instead on the locate button, you can’t escape the address field. Also, share should include SMS sending so it can be texted to your friends And one more - sending to support suffers the same no send button issue ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2017-10-08, version 1.0.10* Can’t seem to get this app to do anything. Wont calculate tax by GPS location or manually entering, gives error message over and over, I have a iPhone 6. Will be deleting and sticking with the website. Maybe it’s just a fluke for me, not sure what’s up. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Location detection is OFF!! *2026-06-30, version 2.3.3* At least half a mile from actual location! ### 1/5 — Communist state *2026-01-26, version 2.3.2* Crooks and thieves in Olympia Washington and this app sucks ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-11-05, version 2.1.8* Worked fine for several months now it’s stopped working ### 1/5 — What happened?!? *2021-02-01, version 2.0.52* This app was amazing and so easy to use! Now it’s frozen and won’t open. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-01-20, version 2.0.52* This app was wonderful for WA states pathetic taxes in each tiny municipality. It hasn’t worked for almost a year now. ### 1/5 — Just crashes now *2021-01-18, version 2.0.52* App just crashes to Home Screen after showing loading screen for 20 seconds plus. On iPhone XS Max w/ iOS 14.3 ### 1/5 — Must use full address or Tax rates incorrect *2019-07-26, version 2.0.52* You must search with full addresses to get the correct tax rate. I’ve looked up a couple locations and the tax rate is reporting back incorrectly if I only put in the city and zip. For example if you put in Tacoma , 98406 it comes up as .093 which is incorrect. But, if you use a full address in a 98406 zip code it comes up correctly at .102 . Be careful, this could cause mobile vendors a lot of money over time if you don’t put in the full address of the location you are at. Users Be careful 😬 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Diego Vallejos *2025-06-05, version 2.2.1* Excellent app, thanks ### 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 ### 5/5 — Handy and saves me money. *2023-03-08, version 2.1.4* Because tax rates vary from place to place, it helps to insure you are paying the least tax possible. My specific address has a low tax rate, so when I buy services like roofing, septic, propane and others I pay the tax for my address. Some companies on Amazon also use this rate. One thing would be nice to have is ability to pin drop on the map and get the tax rate at that address. That way you wouldn’t always need to type in the exact address. Just a wish list! ### 5/5 — Program *2020-07-04, version 2.0.52* Great little program. I am glad I found it. Makes my life as a service tech a lot easier. Fred ### 5/5 — Our ancestors were amazing *2019-12-02, version 2.0.52* Washington State is very hard to do business in. Once you had to know the hundreds of tax rates for all the tiny little tax districts a contractor would do business in. With this app and a little luck, you can actually charge the correct tax at a residential or commercial address with the push of a button. In a year I work in several hundred tax areas and I don’t care, just open the app and get it right every time, no arguing. ### 5/5 — New version much improved *2019-07-26, version 2.0.52* I like the new version. Fixed the bugs from the iOS updates that made words disappear. Plus being able to send multiple saves entries from the list, and in a format that can be imported into an accounting program is awesome! ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-06-02, version 1.0.10* Wow! This is great especially when taxes just keep going up and up! Never under-tax again. ### 5/5 — Saves Me Time *2017-01-07, version 1.0.10* This app has really been a great time saver for me. I do RV repair on site for customers, so I travel to quite a few different tax locations. I also noticed the app recently updated some addresses that weren't in it previously. I would like to see the ability to type in a "location code" and maybe have a map come up that shows the area covered by that code. Hope this review helps. ### 5/5 — Small Business User *2016-04-27, version 1.0.10* It is a great tool for looking up the currant tax rate! ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-12-04, version 1.0.10* I'm in the home improvement industry and his app makes my life so much easier! Not only can I calculate the tax rate but I can also calculate a contract amount with the taxes! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
