App Aims: Rating Matrimonial Bliss

Reviewer’s Comments
The Marriage Calculator LITE app requires six pieces of information: the name of the state you live in, race, socio-economic status, ages of both individuals and current living arrangements. Using statistics culled from University studies, the CDC and US census data, it provides a rating of the marriage between 1 and 100 as well as the number of points above or below the average rank.

Marriage Calculator LITE as a whole, appears to use reliable information and strong formulas, however the screen that displays the explanation of the method is marred by a misspelling in the title. Another minor irritation is the up-selling to the paid version of the app but this isn’t a big deal and is actually becoming more common for app developers as a whole. By providing a free lite version of their app, they are actually giving you a demo so you can decide whether to invest in the full, paid version or not.

Since Marriage Calculator LITE app is free, it’s interesting to see how your particular situation compares to national averages. That being said, the results should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. Rating a human experience by reducing it to statistics doesn’t take into account the personalities of the individuals involved in the relationship nor their shared experiences among many other factors.
