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

   No thanks. immediately asking for a review just to stick us behind a pay wall. Not worth it.

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

   This app sucks. The way they want you to spend money wheel marketing it’s supposed to help you save and spend less money is hypocritical and disgusting

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Paywall. Required payment to use

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

   Great concept.. but. I like the idea of the app. But it’s not worth $30. Pass.

5. ★★★★★the calendar month is the only period model, but people live on pay cycles

   Website doesn’t work either. We all know the app is blocked by the $30/year subscription, which is silly coming from an app that should help you save money. Turns out the developer(s) couldn’t care less to understand the frustration behind the subscription, so they copy and paste a response to send you to their website. To no one’s surprise the website doesn’t work either. I put in my hourly rate, birthday, and how much I want to save. Every time I press submit, it tells me to fill in “purchase price” even with “$650” entered into the text box. Since this app is useless, here’s how to calculate yourself. Hourly x hours per pay period = gross (not net) paycheck. Salary calculators for taxes are FREE online if you search for it. Your end number is how much you receive per paycheck and if you’re smarter that the developers, you can easily calculate how many paychecks it’ll take because “days of work” doesn’t matter if you get paid biweekly.

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

   Misleading. Free to download but no free version of the app, you have to suscribe to it

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Completely paywalled.. All core functionality is locked behind a subscription. On first launch, the app immediately pushes a feedback request despite offering no usable features without paying. There’s a 3-day trial, then $27 per year. I uninstalled within minutes because I couldn’t evaluate anything before being paywalled.

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

   Scam.. Stupid. Charging money for a savings app. Scam.

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Saving app but u have to pay subscription?!?. How can I save if you want $30 out my pocket each month. I thought this was a saving app. Please avoid apps like this because it a scam u shouldn’t be spending money if it a saving app!!!

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

    Unusable outside US. Add other currencies!

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

    A bit too much for a fancy calculator. I could do what this does on a spreadsheet in my notes app. It wouldn’t look as fancy or streamlined, but it would be simple and easy to look at. This functionality is not worth 1 hour and 54 minutes of work every month

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

    Save money by spending money on us. Like the title says it seems idiotic to spend money to help you save me , it would be a different story if you were investing money into something, I like the idea but it’s not making sense

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

    Making us spend money for the app when its to help save money?. 30..$ a month to own the app is bogus when its supposed to help you save?.. thats not cool

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not worth paying for. I understand that making and maintaining an app costs money, but I would rather watch a couple ads then pay $2 a month for something I could track by myself with a calculator and notebook.

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

    Useless from download. You literally have to pay to use it, like how are you going to save money

16. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Charged me for the “free trial”. Signed up for the three day free trial and they charged me immediately. I expect a refund. Unacceptable. Ridiculous for a financial support app.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Stupid. So its an app to save money… but you need to pay a subscription in order to actually use it??

18. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Can’t use without paying for a subscription. You can even try anything without paying for a subscription.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Mostly clickbait/yearly subscription required. Really no effort to make this a legit debt saver. Don’t waste your money or time on the clickbait feature of putting in a purchase price and saying yes/no. There’s no other substance beyond that. No reason to pay for that. I’ll take the apps advice and save my money and invest it instead I guess.

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

    you had me… until you didn’t.. emphasis on ‘had’. forcing me to make a review before i could even use the app is NOT it. this app of basically free to download yet you have to pay to use. no thanks. i’ll look for an alternative. that won’t be an issue.

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

    Wouldn’t let me use it. I’ve seen a lot of ads for this and I thought it would work for me. After doing the sign in, it tried to make me pay and it wouldn’t let me use the free option.

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

    ... The immediate “gives us feedback” when i havent even used the app yet was sketchy. And then it asked me a yes or no question which then gave me the same resolution regardless of which answer i pick. Then you have to pay after doing all that just to get help. Granted its only $30 annual, but the point of the app is to help “SAVE” money. So why add on an extra $30 apple bill!?

23. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not worth the cost. I liked the concept but it’s not worth it. It’s just very basic math. “I make $16/hr, I’ll buy this candy if I work for 30 min. Candy is $6, I make $8 every half hour so it’s worth it to buy” It’s as simple as that. Would have kept it downloaded if it was free with ads. Or maybe not subscription based.

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

    I haven’t even tried it yet. I haven’t even tried it yet and it already had me rate it, like I just loaded into the thing, done all the steps and before I can move forward I’m forced to rate it. What sense does that make?

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

    Pretty useless. I selected I needed to save for emergency expenses and “life goals”, but the yield is still based off what I could make at retirement…. Why bother selecting anything if it only is looking at saving for retirement.

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not worth it. They are making you pay for an app that is supposed to help you cut down on expenses… how ironic. I think chatgbt can create the same savings tracker. AT LEAST THAT’S FREE! Don’t waist waste your money lol

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Bad revenue strategy. If you want to know how much something costs you in terms of hours instead of dollars, you can follow this formula: Yearly income / (working days x working hours per day) If you work a standard 9-5 Working days: 2080d Working hours: 40h It’s that simple not worth paying for that.

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

    Good idea for execution. The concept of this app is great, but then they put AI tailored slop behind a pay wall and it ruins the idea of a financial savings app entirely

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Makes you pay for a subscription to even use it. Genuinely ridiculous, has you put in your birthday, how much you make and then immediately asks for a review THEN it hits you with the “pay for my app”. Pathetic

30. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    You have to pay to use an app about saving money. Why and who would pay for an app the does the opposite
