Reviews for EveryDollar: Budget Management

I used the full version last year (2024) and loved it. The app is great for synchronizing your bank for automatic transaction uploading and easy tracking. Unfortunately, not all banks are supported. I opened a new back account and attempted several times to sync to this app, it did not work. I contacted support and was told my bank was not currently supported and to upload my transactions manually. I wouldn't have paid $100 just to have to use the free version's manual uploading. Disappointed.

I really wish I didn't pay for the app. it really could be a useful tool if it actually worked consistently. I gave it 2 stars since as of lately, transactions aren't updating even after refreshing. Also, my accounts continue to get disconnected. I removed them to reset them up just for them to not update the transactions. if they could fix this, it would be a very helpful tool.

It makes categorizing expenses on a daily basis really easy. It used to be a dreaded task once a month to spend hours categorizing each expense for the month. Now it's just a minute or 2 every morning. It's part of my morning routine. I can remember what/why I spent yesterday, but waiting till the end of the month . . . not so much.

Have been using the free version for a few months to determine if it's something I'd like to purchase. Based on performance, I'll have to pass. Constant password resets are mandatory. Now everything I've input is gone, and the free version is not an option. Should have read the other reviews before wasting my time.

I like the app and its concept, and the lessons have been invaluable. The delayed transaction sync is challenging. I'm also getting notifications for lessons, and when I go into the app. No lessons are pending, or I get a push notification that leads me to a lesson that I have done numerous times. It repeats the same lesson about choosing the right insurance.

They recently changed the app so you open up to a dashboard of "goals" instead of your budget. The entire reason my husband and I liked using this app was because it was easy and quick access to the budget so we can take one glace and be good. Tbh I don't want goals here, I'm good. I just want to have a budget. I'll probably switch to something else.

I paid for the premium version and the transactions come multiple times. The transaction feature doesn't work the way it should. I shouldn't receive the same transactions at the end of the month as I did in the beginning, it should only show up once. And no, im not talking about paying the credit card and seeing a transaction from my bank and then again my credit card bank. I'm talking about it being duplicated.

I used to be able to open the app and log a transaction in the time that it now takes to just open the app. Text fields no longer auto select appropriately, the button to track a new transaction is in a location that takes longer to reach and is smaller (the most common action to do in the app), and the subscription ads are now more prominent. I have not found a single feature of the most recent update that improved the user experience, just a plethora of annoyances and wasted time.

Not only is this app overly complex and difficult to navigate, but it logs me out of my connected banking institution every time which makes the app useless. It also periodically logs me out of my account entirely and when I enter the correct login credentials, it doesn't recognize them. Update: The premium subscription is non refundable after 30 days of purchase, even if you have account or service interruptions. AVOID this app. $79.99 per year for something that doesn't even work.

Great for tracking and budgeting. The only issue is having to manually input each monthly transaction in every month instead of them rolling over from the following month. I forgot to mention I do have the premium version as well. Which would give the option to be able to delete or keep them. There could also be a separate feature for debt snowball alone that could help a bunch as well.
