I needed to do a bunch of dollar amount conversions over different years. Every time I changed a year, the keyboard would dismiss, the spinners, and the text field would move around under my fingers, making it difficult to re-orient myself and figure out what’s going on. And then when I enter entered a dollar value, the keyboard would appear and then compact the UI. It would be a much more pleasant experience if the keyboard were always present, and the user interface was rock stable while doing several conversions that’s spanned several years

I don’t even really review apps, but I wanted to show this one some love.One of my favorite things to do when I’m reading or watching something that takes place in a different era is adjust dollar amounts mentioned for inflation. It helps me understand the stakes at the time.Sometimes I wish it went back a little further, such as Civil War era, but that’s my only critique. Not worth deducting any stars. I love the simplicity of this app.

This is the best app to get information on what a price of something in the past is worth today. Most people compare prices directly, but they are not the same. For instance, 1967 bucket of Kentucky fried chicken for $3.75 would actually cost $35 today. That means it is way cheaper today than it was back then by a factor of 2 1/2 times. You can't just compare prices and say it's equal. A real eye-opener.

I use this App almost daily. I am curious person and when watching an old movie from 1936 and they say "she was left a generous sum of $5000" I want to know what amount of money that is in present day and instantly I get my answer.
