UK Tax Calculators 2024-2025vVARY

Released April 16, 2025Major

Android

The major update, which introduced new tax year calculations and student loan schemes, resulted in a negative impact as the average Android rating declined by 0.15 stars from 4.15 to 4.0. This decline is primarily driven by user reports of calculation discrepancies between income and reverse income modes, alongside layout issues on foldable devices where ads block functional elements. While compliance updates resolved previous cookie consent complaints, the net impact remains negative due to these critical functional regressions.

How it played out

Retrospective analysisAugust 4, 2026

The average Android rating declined by 0.15 stars following the latest update, dropping from 4.15 to 4.0. This decline is driven by user reports of calculation discrepancies between income and reverse income modes, alongside complaints regarding intrusive ad placement blocking interface functions on foldable devices. Overall momentum is stabilizing at this slightly lower rating level given the small post-update sample size collected over the retrospective period.
