Kudos for supporting an old Android 6 device like mine; and aside from benefits sloping in gradually over the first year (math which I question; but may be wrong), 5 stars for overall app quality. But then –1 star for not allowing this large app to be movable (I give one star demerit universally for this reason). Also one star demerit for initially allowing spousal analysis for free, then making it not a $2 one-time fee but subscription basis.So a harsh three stars, I know, but I’m being honest.

Not good enough for use. bought the upgrade and used it once but not good. then I tried to use again and it acts like I did not buy the upgrade. waste of time and money to try and get any thing out of this app.
