## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Need to pay to use

*2024-09-08, version 8.2*

Tried to set up my info and before I gives me ANY results, I’m made to either pay for the app monthly or yearly. No free features. Avoid

### 1/5 — Not free

*2024-01-12*

Wont tell you anything without a subscription

### 1/5 — Requires purchase

*2023-06-30*

I filled in the long questionnaire asking my financial status and savings. After that long process it asked me if I wanted to pay monthly or annually for the results. What a terrible waste of time. The votes are clearly inflated.

### 1/5 — No Pulitzer unless you pay … at the end

*2022-12-24, version 4.2*

Terrible marketing ploy.  Avoid.

### 2/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-02-12, version 8.2*

Not very flexible, below average user interface / programming, and a paywall after you enter in all of your info.

### 2/5 — Yeah, right

*2023-02-20, version 4.2*

Ok sure

### 3/5 — Dale

*2019-09-12, version 3.0*

The Social Security amount does not allow for married couples totals vs an individual.
The calculation always shows two years out to retire even if there are millions in the balance at the end of life.

### 3/5 — Lacks explanations

*2019-07-19, version 2.0*

Average report

### 4/5 — Well written and simple to use

*2018-08-05, version 1.2*

Simple to use and gives a great view to support retirement aspirations.

Would be great to include a few factors to  even better forecasting. 

Would be good to separate taxed (cash/ investments) and taxed advantages savings (401k / pensions) to determine actual retirement age as certain savings can’t be used until 59 1/2.

Social Security income is capped at 5k per month which is not in line with actual caps.

### 5/5 — Very useful and insightful

*2025-12-12, version 8.2*

Allows you to slice and dice your numbers in so many different ways. Graphs and charts are very useful. Great information. While not fully reliable, it gives great direction/guidance for financial planning.

### 5/5 — Very Cool Calculator for Retirement

*2020-01-06, version 3.1*

Really cool retirement calculator. I’m 56 and it looks like I can quit fulltime work at 62. Still work part time and travel the country in my van 👍🏻🇺🇸🚐
