One of my go to apps

I have been using this app for a long time and I have always been thrilled with it. It’s fast, simple, and easy to use. I use it regularly and it’s such a handy thing to have. I highly recommend downloading it, and it will always be one of the first apps I install when I get a new phone.

Almost Gave 5 Stars

I love how the app does not collect any data, and it works as it is supposed to, but it only goes down to the early 1900s—not even to 1900. It would get five stars if it had information from at least the 1800s, but ideally to 1776. Other than that, I recommend this app.

Woo Hoo. It Updated!!!!

Had been running the 2019 version and now that this puppy has been brought current you can keep track of just what kind of number this lame Biden presidency is doing to the value of your moolah. (LET’S GO BRANDON) - - - Oct 21 - - -

Simple, easy to use, trust worthy source

And prior reviews complained that it wasn’t being updated often but it seems that the 2023 CPI info was added in Feb 2024, which is pretty good since they have to wait for the year to end and do final calculations to have that year’s official CPI.
