1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   app wont stop crashing. please fix, i paid but im unable to use

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Won’t stop crashing. I can’t link my accounts without the app crashing - beyond frustrating as you’re trying to get set to use

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   NOT FREE!!. I downloaded this and this is NOT FREE!! ONLY 7 day free trial!! Scam!!!

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work. Doesn’t sync of upload expensives or make a budget

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Free trial offer. Free trial offer after you spend all of the time entering your information and creating the account. Seven days to try it for free and then I’m sure they’ll be happy to charge my card creating yet more debt that I don’t need. No thanks.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not free. 7 days free and then you have to pay.

7. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Why does it need location access?!. Why does a budgeting app need to track your precise location across apps? Not sure to feel safe with this app anymore. Recent updates have been collecting more and more data. Edit: every update needs more and more permissions:/. For what’s essentially a spreadsheet (as most trackers are) very disappointing, as I originally tried this bc it had minimal tracking.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   App asking for subscription. My friend that introduces me to this app said it’s free but why are they asking for $50 subscribers before I can be able to set this up, if I have money would I be finding budget app?

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Duplicates transactions. This app duplicates many of my transactions. It also cannot figure out how to reconcile when I make a payment from my checking account on my credit card. This all messes up my budget. There should also be a way to make sure it classifies future transactions of the same type under the category you want them to be in. For example, I have one that it thinks a shopping, but it is healthcare.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    I don’t think it’s worth the money, needs improvement. I have the paid version, and I was hopeful. The app is trying to do five different things at the same time, but it doesn’t do any of them right.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid for it and freezes, so can’t use it. Do t download has bugs, and owner does not respond. Find another app.

12. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Stole money. Signed up to do a free trial and still got charged the day I signed up. Scam I want my money back. Also the app doesn’t work how it should

13. ★★★★★cross-device sync is unreliable

    The app is poorly maintained.. I have severe sync issues with this app. The records are not fully synced, sometimes good but sometimes not, which is a huge issue for a budget app. You can NEVER rely on this. I submitted several issues to the developer and their solutions are not helpful at all.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t enter loans. It won’t accept my bank. It has the icon for my auto loan but it won’t connect & it won’t connect to my mortgage loan. Not much use for me.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    $50 bucks a year. To actually USE the app you have to subscribe for $50 a year. How about that for budgeting.

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    They will charge your card during “free” trial. I cancelled my free trial after an hour and they charged me anyways.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    THE WORST APP. You literally have to pay for EVERYTHING

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Horrible. I was charged without even using the app and they refused to issue a refund. The interface was confusing and not user-friendly at all. I tried to give it a chance, but it just made budgeting harder, not easier. Customer support was completely unhelpful. I do not recommend this app to anyone.

19. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Freezes and lost my data. Have tried reaching out to support several times and they said they would try to help recover my data but then I was ghosted? Haven’t heard back for months.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Useless. Have to pay to add more than 4 categories. Plus, the UI is trash and hard to use

21. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Lags too much and is slow. This app worked well but in the last couple months l, it’s horrible to use. Lags all the time and is extremely slow. Can’t even use it anymore because of this. It shouldn’t take 2 mins just to scroll.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Need to pay to connect financial accounts. Don’t bother downloading it if you want to connect your bank/credit card accounts but don’t want to pay for it.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No longer works well. I used this app for years, but then recurring transactions started duplicating, and my husband’s balances and my own did not match. I’m over trying to fix it.

24. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

    This the worst budget app. First the developer never answer questions. Never considers my feedback. Passcode lacks Touch ID and Face ID Recurring transactions doesn’t visualize in the upcoming month, it doesn’t even have the start and finish date for recurring transactions And OVERVIEW IS THE WORST it has a wheel that always shakes or moves when you scroll to the next month this is horribly distracting OF COURSE THE DEVELOPER DOESN’T CARE AT ALL AND CONTINUOUSLY IGNORES NOR ANSWER MY EMAILS AND IF HE DOES HE NEVER IMPLEMENTS ANY THING , HE IS JUST PURE BLA BLA

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not free - don’t waste your time. As many other apps, this one requires payment just to keep track of your expenses.. no thanks.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    i have to put a title. no longer works with typewise keyboard after update. please fix this its a massive downside.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Can’t share. My husband bought this year subscription for the sole fact that we could both contribute the budget. However, when he invited me to it. I can’t even see anything without having to also pay for the subscription.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Credit card balance is wrong and crashes often. Credit card balance is wrong its posting balance of credit issued by bank not the credit a user needs to pay to bank. One of the biggest features is missing but no way to report or get help from them

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not free. You can’t even add your bank without paying

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not free. Do not say it is free when the first thing you see is 7 day free trial then $49 a year billed on the 8th day I am sure. How many would be looking for an app like this for 7 days. No thanks
