Debt Payoff Planner is free today in the Amazon Appstore. At the moment it became free at nearly 12:05am, it had one review. Now typically that is the developer attempting to pad their own reviews and help themselves get noticed solely on the one 5-star review. Since that time, about ten and a half hours have passed and the review count is as follows:
5-star: 21
4-star: 3
3-star: 5
2-star: 2
1-star: 20
That's what I call a split decision. So what kind of debt solver is this? Well, I can't answer that because I'm not in debt. Well, a house payment and a small car payment I guess counts as debt, but I'm confident that its handled. This app is designed to assist you with organizing your debts, payments, due dates, interest rates and other related details all in one place. Just as long as it doesn't store your account numbers and passwords, then ask for your PSN login.
Lastly, a comment about the reviews. As I'm not going to download this one because I will not use it, I sought out the reviews of users who have tried it. On one hand Amazon does not require that you actually download an app to submit a review. This comes from the extent of Amazon's other wares for sale. If you say you own it, then you can review it. This, coupled with the fact that devs review their own stuff while pretending to be consumers is why reviewers now feel the need to use their own reviews to point this out to everyone else.
Debt Payoff Planner -
I must quote some of these reviews for this all to become clear. In order as they were written:
"(4-stars) You ppl are ridiculous !
who cares if the dev. review the app??? just
try it out and see for yourself.. you can't be
so stupid to think you will get debt free just
by d/l this app. give it a rest..."
"(1-star) Step 1 for debt reduction
don't download this silly app. pay off lowest
debts first to snow ball debt payoff like Dave
Ramsey says. his plans are free and work
great"
"(5-stars) Stop your crying
Have any of you actually even opened the
app. Lowest to highest debt is their if you
were to actually look. People, come on. Are
you actually this stupid? It works..."
*Hilarious!*
"(1-star) Crap, pathetic attempt to grab money
I wouldent pay a turd for this app. Woefully
inadequate for a paid app, and the reviews
seem deceptive after reviewing the app itself..."
"(5-stars) Really silly little trolls.....really?
Holy crap people....are you actually reading
the dev. reviews?? Cancer...Arnold....do you
people even know what a joke is...even if its
a bad one...still a joke."
"(5-stars) Arnold schwarzeneger one of
my fav actors
I love reading reviews it's like a mini soap
show pple whine way too much oh no the
developer left reviews omg so did their
friends boohoo who cares?!"
