paid full price for it years back. came back to see now it's based on subscription. do what of my original money?
paywall
bought this ap in 2016. have used it for years, now I am locked out bc of an update. not paying for a yearly subscription when I've already bought it outright. not worth a subscription just for the ease of it on my phone. Just busting out my old handheld.
Expensive.no free trail 😭😭
I was supposed to have a 7 day free trial. they charged me on the 7th day when it should have been the 8th.
I've had this app for like 10 years. Something turned on autoupdate and now it wants my purchase number?! Locked me out of my app. Not cool.
price too high
ive not used or had this app for a few months now. I started looking at my bank statements for the last 3 months its taken $4.99 out of my account
Monthly or Yearly Subscription is Required. No lifetime purchase option is available.
Fantastic app, easy to use very handy on conversations. unfortunate that the developer made it a subscription based. it's a calculator. I'll no longer be useing it because of the change over. they could've just upper the purchase price and I'd have been fine with that. Just feels like a your being milked for your money...
I've paid for the construction pro calculator 12 years ago. Its was when paying for a app was a bit new. Editing my review. So it's sometime around Nov 2022 that the master pro calculator started there submission. I'm not going to give you all my personal information again. It looks like I'm not the only guy who is having this problem. Do you still have the receipt for your shoes you bought 12 years ago.
Another app designed to make money... limited pay options and way too expensive!
horrible. paid for app. they don't recognize my original purchase and want a subscription now. don't subscribe.
New phone, so I lost my paid application. I'm very disappointed this doesn't transfer. still very disappointed in this company that my lifetime payment is now a monthly description.
Den of thieves. Not only do they have no records of previous purchases, they won't sell me a new license. They want me to pay for a subscription to something I used to own outright.
do not dare get a new phone these idiots do not have an avenue to switch, nothing works. I guess I havexto buy it again, awesome job and even better non existent service
hey people you can buy a calculator like this in town instead of paying every month for this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This app used to be good when you could buy it outright. the new subscription bases version sucks and is a total rip off.
subscription.....
YOU HAVE TO PAY A SUBSCRIPTION?! Scew that! It was uninstalled within SECONDS after I found that out. Talk about pure greed and a lust for profit.
This app used to be 5 stars, however; every time you use it you are now prompted to go to link your Google Account Email. Why on earth do i want to tie my email to a calculator app? Every single time I cancel the prompt and look for a setting to shut this down. Nope. Every time.........
expensive junk
would be a great calculator except for the outrageous monthly cost
4.99 a month for a calculator. you are on crack.
you used to be able to buy and keep the app now it's a subscription based app, no good I'll just get the calculator and keep it in my work area like I used to. uninstalling.
I purchased this app before it was a subscription. now it won't validate my purchase. Total BS! The app itself was wonderful but calculated industries not honoring a purchase is wrong.
Greed!!! You can buy this as a physical calculator on Amazon for $50 and they want $40/year FOR THE APP!? Absolute ripoff.
Purchased it a long time ago..now they wanted me to jump through hoops to keep it, so I uninstalled it.
great idea but the actual physical calculator is cheaper and doesn't require a subscription. I would happily pay $40 or more as a one time purchase. subscriptions for a calculator is a crazy concept.
Total BS... that because I upgraded my device I'm frozen out of the app. Who keeps the receipts for purchases made some years ago. It's been so long it's not even showing in my purchase history. You have enough info including my Gmail address and Google account to allow the app to function on my device... like any other app that gets downloaded from the play store. Why make things more difficult than necessary for people to get what they paid for?
Update. My phone did a software update and turned on auto update for all my apps. Upon update this program now asks at startup to link with my Google account. I use this daily and there is no way I can find to disable notification asking to link account. Privacy is slowly being eroded away, you have no need to access my google account. Very useful and helpful. Like the links to equations and formulas. Thanks
Don't ask me to give a review. I'm busy.
Doesn't tell you you need to pay for it until you download it and give it an opportunity to send your information like your GPS coordinates to Google.
im a wood tech student who thought this would be helpful for me. but turns out i have to pay just to use the app. it's a construction calculator. why would I wanna pay for a virtual calculator. that's literally the most greedy thing I've ever seen. what is wrong with you people
monthly or year subscription 👎🏽
I can use grok for free and it does the same thing
it's NOT free. You get a trial period, but then have to pay.
I purchased this app many years ago, and even with my purchase information, it would not take it.
