This app worked great when it was Simpler Budget. Now it is putting charges in the wrong month and doubles up on charges making look like I am overspending. By this I mean it doubles up pending charges with the completed transaction. It also counts internal money transfers as income. Another issue is that the […]

If you want a very basic and slightly skewed review of your spending this is your app. Anything else, I would recommend another option. The app does not allow for tracking of non budgeted items, does not link with all bank accounts, and allows no insights into your spending other than what category it may […]

BUGGED!!! I had issues getting my accounts connected. I’m still unable to connect a few. Transactions took some time to sync, but some finally got there. Not sure about the rest. I would have to say the biggest issues is I cannot create a budget. Every time I try to start a budget on any […]

The only problem I have is the biggest reason why I paid for membership – automatically tracking purchases and budgeting. I can link my accounts, but when a charge comes in, it doesn’t show it in the budget. I have to go in and manually enter every charge into the budget. I for that reason […]

I liked it as a simple free alternative to mint when it finally died. I am trying the paid subscription, I’ll be real. it’s annoying that there’s as many drawbacks as there is. Ally Card won’t connect to the app and the Betterment account balances read zero. I’ve been on an annual subscription for less […]

Double counts transactions with no way to remove. says I spent double what I actually spent in a month. has also counted money flowing in as flowing out. got the app because I really like Caleb and want to get a handle on my finances, but I unfortunately can’t use the app for my financial […]

No support or cookbook as advertised. I cannot delete certain accounts off the app, the rules don’t work most of the time, and there is a limited number of accounts you can add so we can’t get the full picture between my husband and I. I paid for the annual thinking that the free trial […]

Needs a refresh ASAP. Ive used it since its release as Simpler Budget. Ive never really been able to use all the bells and whistles that come with the app. The budgeting seems to refresh every month, so its easier to just use the app as a way to see all expenses in one place. […]

I have the premium version of the app and set up a bunch of custom categories and rules for charges to go in said categories (I pay rent to someone as a bank transfer) along with sending money to Robinhood for investments. This app is VERY buggy in the sense of you CONSTANTLY need to […]

Lacking in features and functionality (app automatically rounds up/down cents and you can’t turn that off, no ability to copy one months budget to the next, and practically no data visualization) and what’s there is buggy and inconsistent. It usually takes at least 2-3 attempts of adding any activity for it save, custom categories disappear […]

I really enjoyed this app when it was “simpler budget”, but once it changed to dollar wise, everything shifted. It’s honestly complicated, I’ve added my expenses that were being picked up, but a few months ago they are no longer being included. Shows my income doubling because of transfer I move around. I canceled my […]

To start i have the premium version and have used it for a few months now. I was very please with it until about the last 2 months. lately after every update it adds back the transactions that I removed (transferring money from checking g to savings was showing as me earning and losing money […]

this app is great at tracking expenses, even with the free version. however, I’m having a problem where every time I add a transaction or category, I need to close and reopen the app to see the addition. sometimes it takes adding it 2 or 3 times before the action shows up in the app. […]

Duplicate charges are recorded for pending transactions. Rules do not save so everything must be recategorized every month. Changing the category on a transaction must be done 3-4 times before it will save. All changes made to transaction do not save once you exit the app, so everything must be reviewed at the end of […]

I’m really wanted to try this out and came into this fully willing to get the annual subscription buuuuuuuuut the app sucks. I can’t sync my account even after starting the free trial, the manual budgeting is inconsistent, and it very slow with multiple small glitches. for almost $90 annually its really not worth it. […]

I wanted to like this app but was unable to sync both my and my husband’s separate accounts at the same bank. I emailed support the day my free trial started and have not heard back as of 12 days later so I’ve cancelled. I didn’t try many other features because I didn’t want to […]

the glitches make me want to delete it, and unfortunately I have the annual subscription. constantly fixing categories only to have them reappear when I open the app a few days later, transactions not showing up in the correct category, even though the rule is “applied” when I click on it, not saving rules or […]

This app looks very nice and simple – exactly what I wanted. But the rules and customizations just do not work. I have premium and the only thing I’ve been able to do is connect my bank account info. But the rules aren’t being saved from day to day, sometimes the rules just don’t apply […]

Update: Glad my income issue was fixed. Personally writing out my budget and checking them off as they get paid is easier than trying to get the app to track things correctly. Sometimes I get paid early and pay bills early. But the tracker can’t track that. For free. My bank app does the same […]
