Reviews for Quicken Simplifi: Budget Smart

I’ve been looking for a mint replacement ever since the app was discontinued. Quicken connects with my accounts and shows recent transactions and current balances. However, one feature that I haven’t been able to find is a way to list upcoming credit card bills. Since the amount due is different every month, quicken is not […]

This app is great, having switched from Mint. However, there are so many bugs/issues with adding/syncing accounts. I have reached out to support and they still haven’t fixed it. Then they close the ticket even though it’s not resolved. I’ve had issues with TreasuryDirect.gov doesn’t work, some other accounts that were down for a while, […]

This app is so buggy, I can barely stand using it anymore. I’ve had issues with rules to rename retailers, categorize purchases, only half the things count that should in my goals (despite being named and categorized correctly), my account balances and transactions are never up to date and my savings is consistently $5 off […]

I had no reason to think this app wouldn’t support federal student loan accounts, being that Quicken is such an important accounting tool, but it does not. It also does not have a monthly plan, so I had to pay an annual fee to find out that it’s basically half functional for me. Highly disappointed, […]

I’ve been using Simplifi, happily, for over a year now. I’ve used various apps installed on desktop, and those fully online, for well around 20 years. This current online only version, is the Best financial tracking, reporting, and ease of use app I’ve ever used. I connect three banks, three credit cards, without a hitch. […]

😀 Beware! You may run into missing transactions without knowing. Had over 34 missing transactions from a major CC. Contacted support and their response was “We suggest resetting the connection and manually entering missing transactions”. I mention how if a connection isn’t pulling data why an alert isn’t sent. Response “Therefore as a solution, I […]

The app has not worked at all since paying for the subscription a month ago. I reached out to both Google Play and the developer for assistance and Google Play says they can’t help, that it’s the developer’s issue. I reached out to the developer twice and have yet to get a response to my […]

The worst budgeting app out there. It could’ve been the best. Way too many bugs. My bank had connectivity issues so I made it into a manual bank and decided just to put transactions in manually. That is when I noticed that their software has bugs. I would put transactions in and then the balance […]

There’s a lot quicken does well. But it has no good or intuitive option for budgeting. There’s no way to do envelope budgeting at all basically. Budgeting is an essential feature for a personal finance app. I also couldn’t sync any of my investment accounts or my student loans due to quicken not working with […]

It stopped connecting to my bank after 3 months, couldnt get it to reconnect. Support gave me a forum to monitor for updates in APRIL. It’s now September, and there is still no resolution or even an ETA on a resolution. They won’t even process a refund since I purchased it through Google Play. Their […]

Well, I migrated here from Mint when that free service shut down a couple years ago. While the quicken platform has nice features I’ve had multiple issues of account connection errors throughout this timeframe (currently two going on right now). It’s annoying, and since it’s a paid subscription I didn’t expect this basic disruption- I […]

The software doesn’t detect proper categorization of a budgeted item. I’ve tried a bunch of different ways and nothing works. Now I have too much data to go back and try to fix it. The constant 2 factor login errors is wildly annoying. It should connect to auto trader or some other app to value […]

It does most things well but I do find a few things frustrating. The one that comes to mind is it will give me a notification saying I have x number of transactions that are uncategorized and need my attention to categorize them. Only when I click on that notification it just takes me to […]

I love this app and I use it daily. but I do not like the way it handles credit card bills, I have to enter credit card payments manually into the cash flow so I know when the bill is going to be paid. Simplify’s answer is that the credit card charges are already known […]

You can’t cancel your subscription in the app and the website shows an upcoming payment but an absolutely blank subscription page. Wow, if you call when they’re closed it says to call back during normal business hours and hangs up without telling you what that even is. I was already annoyed at the lack of […]

Initial sign up resulted in a blank loading screen. After resetting the app and restarting, it brings you to the subscription plan selection screen – no free trial (-1 star). Other than that, I find Simplifi to be closest to Mint in terms of features and UI controls. Haven’t encountered connection issues with my banks […]

I accidentally signed up for the business version, thinking I needed it for my income property. It turns out I could not use it for that and needed just the basic version. Support was incredibly unhelpful, and refused to give me a partial refund or any recourse. Even though I never was able to use […]

I really want to like this app, especially because I paid for a year. I’m finding it exceedingly complicated to use and it’s taking a while for me to get used to the differences between series, reminders, recurring bills, subscriptions, transfers are awkward, just a ton of little things that add friction as a first […]

I’ve been looking for a cheaper alternative to QB soloprenuer for purchase tracking and invoicing. Simplifi is ‘almost’ there. Hopefully in the future they’ll improve the clutter and add better categorization. Maybe long press icon shortcuts or widgets for invoicing, estimates, transactions, and etc. Adding payment options to invoices like Venmo and credit cards (not […]

No free trial, no examples or even a brief chance to try the app. It goes straight to the subscription page no matter what. There’s absolutely no way I’m paying for a subscription without even being able to test the app out. even a 1 day free trial would be better than nothing! Especially considering […]
