DivCalc for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By nt9of9

  In complete data pull.

  I am unable to retrieve any stock information on $SE. I am aware it currently has no dividend payout, but I still want the ability to add it to my portfolio since I own shares. DivCalc Support indicate in an email that the issue is with their data provider. I have asked for an update, but have not gotten a response. Before you purchase this app, I recommend you make sure you can actually pull data for your stock holdings, otherwise you will end up leaving a 3 star review. A feature needed is to have the ability to import in your stock symbols into a portfolio. The current workflow will have you do this one by one. I would like to see an option to import from a cloud drive document. Update: With the recent update, I am able to now see the ticker for $SE. Thank you very much for fixing. I’ve changed my review rating to 5 stars.

  Definitely worth the $3

  Update - Question: Will there be a feature which enables you to link brokerage accounts? Or will it always be a manual input? I felt compelled to write this review because I spent some time downloading and trying other dividend calculators in the App Store and this one takes the cake. Some of the apps were super laggy, not the best UI design, and just not a good experience. For example the highest rated dividend calculator it’s too jam packed with features that make it too cumbersome to use; it doesn’t help that the UI flow is hard to navigate - beside that premium feature tiers are so weird: $100 bucks for lifetime for not the best experience? This is why I’m writing this review to praise the price on this app, the snappy UI, down-to-the-point information (all I need to track are my dividends) and not to mention decent design compared to the other cumbersome apps. The only suggestion that maybe I’ll use later might be the importing of a portfolio like another review says. TL;DR : great smooth app, does what it needs to do, at a great price. (Free version is converse with ads but at least you get a taste of what you’re getting)

  Dividends Calculated by percentages not actual payout.

  Everyday you check your annual dividends will be different due to price change not dividend change. I recommend actually using the dividend amount versus the dividend percent. Other wise great app! Definitely worth 3 bucks. Edit.. thanks for the response. Even if every other dividend tracking service is doing it that way, it is still not an accurate way to track dividends. Thanks.

  Update not Appreciated

  I was immensely enjoying this app and had strongly recommended it to many I know personally/within several investing groups. This latest update, however, doesn’t sit well with me. The release notes advertise push notifications. Great! One catch...when you try to turn them on, you are prompted to sign up for a monthly charge of some unspecified amount. The app page in the store also says nothing about in app purchases, how much the subscription is, or what all is included in the subscription. Frankly, a monthly payment just for notifications boggles my mind. Especially on an app I already paid for. Even more so when I have zero information about what that subscription costs. A few more things: - on the new DRIP/notification functionality, there needs to be a more efficient way to enable it for multiple stocks at once. Currently you have to tap a position, let it load, toggle on DRIP/notifications, go back to the list of stocks, rinse and repeat for every single stock. - more importantly, DRIP functionality seems to be broken. Wasted about 10 minutes turning it on for several stocks. Went back in and found it was off again for all of them. - lastly, there is a typo in the quick blurb of text about notifications. Specifically, “announcements is misspelled”.
