I've not had to dip into my emergency fund or sinking fund or use overdraft.

    Misleading - You have to pay to use it!!!

    I don’t mind a pay to use app, but not sharing that until after I finish the whole tutorial AND make an account feels shady!!

  • ★★★★MisoLYama

    In <3 since Day 1!

    Few suggestions, for each envelope, can we please have a dedicated “Memo” section in the details section and (weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly) added for additional options for “Payment Schedules”? Thanks for the consideration. I plan on switching from YNAB (after six years) to this mainly because FINALLY A BUDGETING APP ALLOWS ME TO BUDGETS PAYCHECKS BIWEEKLY INSTEAD OF JUST MONTHLY.

    It’s paid, don’t bother.

    I spent 30 mins setting it up just to say I need to pay and the only option other than paying is to sign out. So I wasted all that time. All these greedy companies are awful, an app for simply tracking spending and budgeting should not have a subscription, should not even have a login.

  • ★★★★Ahhxnicole

    Love the app

    My only wish is that it added all the sections together to show a full total

  • ★★★★lolota10

    could’ve been cute

    not only was it a headache to read with the fonts, but then it completely turned into a zoomed in screen & nothing could be done.. so no thanks

  • ★★★★★reindrawp

    Not Free

    Setup takes a long time only to find out after doing all the work that it isn’t free. The app should have made it clear before I spent an hour on setup.

  • ★★★★Anonymous_bunny

    Lied

    Says it’s free, but you have to pay for a plan, and can’t create an account unless you do.

  • ★★★★★SheykhaG

    Love it! Need a dent feature too

    Really enjoyed the app in the past! I left it a few months ago but came back today and got the yearly subscription. Really would like a debt payoff feature!! Will continue to use 💕

  • ★★★★tomatolasagna

    Deceptive

    To claim something is free but have you fill in all your goals and then force you to pay to even use the app is completely deceptive and intentional. They get you to put time into and then force you to pay a subscription fee to use their app. Just out of principle this is completely wrong

  • ★★★★Kena Leeee

    Don’t get

    How are you going to make me pay for a budgeting app? Try telling people that the app isn’t free BEFORE they put in all of their information. And OBVIOUSLY you aren’t making it clear enough that it is a “SuBsRiPtIoN bAsEd ApP” if there are so many people in your reviews having the same problem.
