Salary Calculator - Pay Checkv2.0.0

Released September 28, 2020Redesign

iOS

The latest redesign successfully addressed previous input clearing frustrations, resulting in a 1.2 star rating increase. However, the update introduced a critical regression where manual hour entries are overridden by the app. The net impact remains neutral due to the small sample size and the emergence of new functional errors.

What worked

UX
The visual overhaul and dark mode support resolved long-standing user frustrations regarding the inability to clear or reset numerical entry fields.
New feature
Users explicitly praise the addition of compensation planning tools and multi-job income tracking functionality.

What didn't

UX
backfired
Users report the app now automatically overrides manual hour entries, creating a new functional barrier to accurate calculation.
New feature
no evidence
The new overtime, bonus, and tax calculation tools lack specific user validation in the current review set.

Marlvel takeaways

Address the data integrity issue where the app overrides manual hour entries to prevent further user churn.
Expand calculation logic to include double time pay rates to resolve identified functional gaps.
Monitor future review volume to validate the observed 1.2 star rating increase against a larger sample size.
