Ratings and reviews

Overall this app is outstanding (disclaimer: I've been using Taxslayer for over 10 years, so I may be a little biased). The app itself is very intuitive and easy to use. However, when switching from vertical to horizontal on your phone, it requires you to sign back in. The same thing happens when you're using split-screen mode and you adjust the size of the split-screen. Other than that, I would highly recommend this app (4.8 stars).

Wasted enough time to more than make up for any $ I might have saved vs TurboTax or something. I have a lot of documents to enter this year, and I couldn't even get through the first one. Logs you out if your screen rotates? Yup. It does. Go to another app to get W2 info, come back and it asks if you're sure you want to navigate away. After a ½hour, I right I got smart and went to split screen. Except it logged me out w/o saving all my work.

Constant, and I mean constant panhandling with the: "Surprise! We've upgraded you to X membership!" And it appears to be a mandatory charge, making you think it's part of the process, until you scroll down alllll the way and in itty bitty text see "no thanks". Press no thanks thirteen times. No guarantee it won't force Classic on you again the very next page of your return though. Signs you out for twenty seconds of inactivity, repeats pages constantly. Like pulling teeth every year.
