Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Reverse calculation (payment to loan amount)

High Demand
"Can no longer find an app that you can enter your affordable loan payment, interest and length of term and get a total financeable amount"

#2: Adjustable payment amount for payoff scenarios

High Demand
"I'm looking for an app to run numbers on how quickly a loan will pay down according to a payment. This app doesn't allow you to change the payment amount that I could see it has a locked sign beside it."

#3: PDF export of amortization table

Medium Demand
"This app has a nice layout, and I've tried several different loan calculator apps and this one had potential of being very good. Except it doesn't convert the amortization table to a PDF file."

#4: Customizable result display (hide/show amortization)

Low Demand
"I just want to show my customers their monthly Payment in a large font. I don't want to show amortization and scare the crap out of them with all the interest their paying."
