Latest reviews of Wolfram Retirement Planners Professional Assistant app for iPhone and iPad
App is misrepresented and certainly not worth the price. Essentially it is a reference/lookup app that presents some (ghastly) forms and feeds them to Wolfram Alpha and then displays the results. You can see e.g principal vs interest progression on loans, look property values by area, but this is in no way a planner app or anything that helps you design any aspect of retirement. Think of this app as a bunch of shortcuts to reference lookups with no coherent theme, goal or experience to it. I paid for the app expecting the usual wolfram quality. Note the app works; its just not that well designed in term of user workflow (it really has no design in terms of user workflow whatsoever) A pity because now I feel prone to avoid other wolfram apps in case they just turn out to be lame shell forms into Wolfram Alpha lookups. I love wolfram alpha but this app provides no value for the price other than saving you a RTFM google search.
The numbers I input does not compute according to this app. Waste of money!
On the pension tab, it wouldnt do the calculation used as an example. Cost of living index nice, but its not a cost of living app.
