Leastimator Reviews

Leastimator give a ton of information if you are looking for what the end of your lease will look like. It would be a perfect app if they added the info in “real “ time meaning instead of it giving you at the end of your lease info it would give you how many miles you are over or under as of the date you update your miles. Like If I enter miles of 100 in Leastimator it tell me my results as of today. You are over by 50 miles as of today. I like to know where I am in my lease while this tells me in three years what it will be assuming I drive the same miles (which my diving changes often) I have no idea as of today how manny miles I am over/under.

So, props to the developer for updating their app and keeping it fresh; HOWEVER, in the latest automatic update (99.9% of iPhone users have their apps update automatically), my four years of lease mileage data are gone. Checking Leastimator Store reveals that the developer stated to export the data prior to upgrading. Unfortunately, this was never an option. Users just don’t check Leastimator Store anymore prior to upgrading their apps.

I would completely understand that perhaps the developer didn’t realize this, except that ethical app management dictates that you warn your users that a major upgrade is coming and data may be lost. Lease mileage isn’t a big deal - I’ll get over it. But to Leastimator developer: unfortunately, you messed up. Your long-time users would appreciate a “mea culpa” here.

I looked high and low for an app that does exactly what Leastimator does, and this is the best, if not only, app for the job. Before I found this, I almost considered making an app myself, given how simple the concept is yet how scarce a utility seems to be on Leastimator Store. Great job dev!

I’ve had a couple of these apps but they all seem to get abandoned. This one is beautiful and gives me the information I need to make driving choices. What more could I ask for?

This last update has broken the add new car calculations. I entered In our new car. It is 60 months with 60000 miles. After two days it says our odometer should read 42 miles. Not even sure where that is coming from when we are allowed about 33 a day. Also we did 126 mile in the first two days and it shows a prediction of 10 miles. I do really like Leastimator and if the developer would like a beta tester would love to help.

Bring back the “odometer should read” as it’s easy to know how much you’re over or under then.

Stinks that the update killed my odometer readings. Not good for a paid app.

They said to save data before updating but there is no export option. 🤷‍♂️

Been using Leastimator for years and like it. Opened it today and ALL my data is GONE. Not happy.

Deleting Leastimator

Added my vehicle info but app now doesn't respond

Entered car data and app does not respond

The calculation seems to be inaccurate… Even friends that I referred this to are noticing the inaccuracy.

Can’t add a new car or save changes to the existing one.

Leastimator is ok, it makes several calculations. What I loved in the previous app I used (LeaseCrunch, where did it go???) was a very simple + or - when you enter your mileage each time. For ex: a big giant +230 (and in red) let me know I was 230 miles over where I needed to be *that day*. Leastimator only shows “your odometer should read xxxx” in small print if you scroll down on the screen (which isn’t obvious). Also, the Excess Mileage box should be relabeled Trending Excess Mileage because it shows your potential final excess, not your current excess (mine shows my excess is 8430 miles when there’s only 3500 miles on the car). Lastly, when you scroll down there is a line graph showing the mileage trend but you can’t press on it to get the actual number so it’s not practical. Hoping the developer will add a simple daily over/under at the top!!

Calculations are incorrect. Love the format and data, but the numbers are wrong. SMH 🤦‍♂️

When I downloaded Leastimator I couldn’t use it because my lease period was / is longer than 36 months. I talked to Hao and he fixed it. Just downloaded the update and it works perfectly.

Maybe a Jeep image for the icon or the ability to use you’re own pic for future updates?
