Living To 100 Life Expectancy Calculator Negative Reviews
Pricey for a one and doneI agree with the review from Michael. This could be made much better with a more detailed questionnaire. For instance, the question on exercise being how many days per week do you exercise 30 minutes or more. This is based on the old metric of 30 minutes a day at least five days a week equals 150 minutes per week. This is based on moderate exercise. However, if you exercise in your upper heart rate range, which I do, the same benefit can be accomplished with 75 minutes of exercise per week. And does not even take into account whether or not you do strength training, especially for older adults. Muscle gain is extremely important. So a more detailed question could cover the total minutes per week you exercise and the intensity. This is just one example. But I paid my five bucks and got an interesting result. I just hope my retirement savings last that long if this prediction comes to pass. Lol..BG WarriorVersion: 0.3
Could be made betterThe concept of making an assumption about date of death is good, but the input info is not detailed enough for any believable accuracy. For instance: diet is not considered, diabetes, sleep disorders, certain medications, and many other life shortening diseases and conditions are not asked. Yes, I know most Americans have a very short attention span. Build a more scientific and transparent app for those of us with a brain. I would pay for an app that used more subjective criteria to arrive at a believable outcome..Deltaman1357Version: 0.3
Good info, poor programmingThe info seems fairly accurate, more detailed questions than most, but he you get your results, you are stuck. No way to restart or change selections. You have to kill the app and do it again.
It would be nice to be able to go back and change a variable to see how it impacts the outcome..Choice TechVersion: 0.3
Not like the website version of the calculatorGiven it was an app that had to be purchased, I expected it to at minimum replicate the detailed questionnaire on the website, and then also provide feedback. Neither was the case. There are roughly 6 questions with no level of detail nor any reference to key items used in other calculators nor in the website version. A complete waste of money..RJIrvVersion: 0.3
Missing relevant questionsThe questionnaire does not ask for current age or past/current major illnesses (heart disease, cancer, diabetes). It also does not include a response for being exposed to second-hand smoke as a child, when so many of our parents smoked back in the 70s and 80s..StephanieSammons.comVersion: 0.3
No way to try different inputsOnce used, the app locks itself with the original finding. It would be nice to be able to try it again checking the results if you were to change your exercise routine, diet or other variables..Jim in OrlandoVersion: 0.3
Very poorTo pay $5 for an app that can only be used once is obscene and I certainly wouldn’t have done so if I had known it was a one and done. Additionally, it did not allow sufficiently for a variety of health factors as illustrated by the fact that it predicted death 7 years ago. Would not recommend..DbckrbfvdjkckfVersion: 0.3
Rip offOverpriced & was recommended thru a link in an article on Apple News from Barron’s. I’ve seen a number of apps that asked significantly more questions & provided much more creditable results. Don’t waste your money & highly disappointed this was endorsed by Barron’s & on Apple News, definitely eroded my opinion of both!.12dclsVersion: 0.3
Review of Living to 100The app provided a one page questionnaire and then a numerical prediction of age. The comment then cut off in the middle of a sentence and there was no way to finish. This appears hastily made. For the $4.95 price, I would expect at least some lifestyle counseling of more than one cut-off sentence on how to improve my odds..Mms_96826Version: 0.3
Don’t waste your money!For $2.99 I was told that I would probably live a long time if I exercise and eat right. Also now someone has a lot of data about me and I see no way to erase it. There’s nothing further than being told your life expectancy. I regret buying this and am really annoyed with the person who recommended it..RepeattaftermeVersion: 0.3
Questionnaire Not In-depthThis app didn’t ask anything about having cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc.,etc. Also, user can check that a family member lived into his or her 90s, when others may have passed away much younger..5gracie7Version: 0.3
Don’t buy- can only use once.It was a bummer to find out this is a one time App. Who does that??? ! And for that price totally NOT worth it. Very disappointed. I guess the Doctor needed to find a way make more money..Cindy in SacramentoVersion: 0.3
Not worth the moneyI just paid $2.99 expecting something that would be way more detailed than a simple 8 or 9 question form. I have had more detailed questions asked for free and this is a genuine rip off. I have had cancer and a recurrence, otherwise very healthy. But this does not take that into account. Garbage!!.Not-worth-the-moneyVersion: 0.3
Asks <10 questionsFor some reason I was under the impression this would ask about 50-50 questions. Instead it asks less than ten and fewer than free online versions. NOT worth the month when same tools available for free online..A non blankslateVersion: 0.3
WeakSave your money. This is way way minimalist and takes 4 minutes to do. I hope the doctor is better at his practice. Sorry but have to say..JimmieLongboardVersion: 0.3
$2.50 for a ten question survey.The promo said an in depth 50 question survey with information to help the reader learn about factors extending life. I could have read this in today’s paper. I typically rip-off with a catchy title and neat promises. The title creation took more time to create than the survey. TRULY disappointed and felt I was had..JtempasVersion: 0.3
Not sure it is worth the moneySeems you can only use it once when you pay for it so it’s not really worth the money.Tater 58Version: 0.3
Not worth itWhen I bought this app and answered the questions, I thought this app would be a little more detailed. A waste of $4.99. Do not buy..Barb536Version: 0.3
A lot of important Qs left outThis was very disappointing: there were no Qs whatsoever about sleep quality/quantity, blood pressure, resting heart rate, or chronic diseases—all of which are vital factors for accurately estimating lifespan..ArizcarolVersion: 0.3
Waste of moneyThe app has very few questions and can do nothing. On his homepage, the same physician has a much more detailed questionnaire with individualized feedback for free. Not sure why I paid for this. The app and the homepage also gave me quite different answers (94 vs 101)..HelenaHelenaVersion: 0.3
What was I thinking?This app does no more than any of the many, free, such questionnaires available virtually everywhere. In addition, it does not ask participant's age (unless I missed that)---and as we all know, age influences life expectancy! On the bright side: I have ten more years to live!.XottawanVersion: 0.3
Not as good as onlineDont waste your money. The online calculator is free and it is better. Took both tests, onl;ine says ill live to 93, and the phone app says I will live to 100. I need this for a college course. Im glad I realized they were so different..Jpilates4uVersion: 0.3
Good in General, but One Use Only ProductApp asks a number of questions and delivers an estimate of lifespan. However, it stops at that point. No way to go back and explore “what if’s?” without deleting and completely reloading the app and all the inputs..Right-JABVersion: 0.3
#1 Worst App Ever - DONT BUYContains advertising and you pay for it!
Doesn't include alcohol as a determining factor- duh
Poor user interface - ugly, boring and unimaginative.
Is really nothing more that an offer to license to organizations for their members/employees.
Would like to understand the algorithm behind it and it's basis in medical science.
Locks up at the end and cant unfreeze. You need to delete and reinstall each time you use it.
No capability to save life expectancy scenarios.
No separate user accounts..Care4MeVersion: 0.3
Rip off!I found more detailed questionnaires for free. I at least expected to be able to use this more than once (for my husband, for instance) but no. Don’t waste your $5..RobozebuVersion: 0.3
Scam appI purchased based on a reference in an article, and thought twice about paying for it … should have thought three times. This is so superficial..Cliffie3401Version: 0.3
More like a Facebook QuizThe questionnaire did not probe into medical history at all: Diabetes? Broken bones, heart or kidney transplants?? Cancer? HIV/AIDS?? Nor did it probe emotional and social aspects of your life: depression? married/single? Hours if TV per day? Calls/ contacts from family and friends, etc.RuncruzVersion: 0.3
Not Worth 5 DollarsA very simplistic list about 20 questions. ridiculously expensive for what you get.Laurie LovingVersion: 0.3
Stupid AppThis application is stupid and a rip-off. You use it once and it gives you the option to share on Facebook and then I can't get off the page. Wasted $.99 on this Ap!.ExperterVersion: 0.3
GenericThis app does not ask you any good questions like, are you on medication what medications are you taking do you drink alcohol, how much alcohol do you drink, do you take illegal drugs, how often you take a legal drugs etc. etc. etc..Unhapppy wih appVersion: 0.3
RidiculousIf you’re severely diabetic you’d think that might play into life expectancy, or if you’d had cancer before, but NO this program doesn’t ask. No better than a Facebook quiz..RevchrisesqVersion: 0.3
Does not workQuestions are far too vague to produce any accuracy. Ads prevent app from working properly. Doesn't save answers if you have to leave the app. Terrible. Waste of time..MsmammaVersion: 0.3
App is an abridged version of websiteThere’s a handful of questions on the app versus the 45 questions on the website. Consequently the results are different.Chh azVersion: 0.3
Bait and SwitchSays it is free, but it is not. Costs $2.99. Then it will not let you retake it, which is ridiculous, since many answers could go either way..RtyuijhgfdcxVersion: 0.3
Very disappointingThe usually astute, Terry Savage, recommends this website, which could be great, but without considering the present state of one’s health, it is worse than misleading..OlddagVersion: 0.3
