The app description states this very clearly. Please have a look: ——— PocketLion is an intuitive and simple iPhone, iPad and Mac app aimed to help managing your finances. PocketLion is not offering subscriptions to its services at this time. PocketLion uses the PocketSmith backend, an online financial tool for tracking bank and credit card transactions, budgets, cash flow etc. Our users must create a free or paid account with PocketSmith to be able to sign in to the app. ——- Why are you ripped off, Sassy ninja 22? Get a refund.Too hard to work with
The app is too hard to setup and it costs $14.95 per month which is too muchFairmity

Hello. There is no monthly fee. It’s a one time purchase. Can I help with anything re setup? All that’s needed is creating an account via the PocketSmith web site.Fantastic app
I really like this app, especially with the Pocket Lion App. Feeds from banks in lots of countries makes it easy and helps us understand our financial position. I have had good support about questions raisedPhaedrus1807

Thank you so much!Fantastic
Great app - a way better interface to PocketSmith than the default app. Categorisation using PocketSmith is way faster.
It is also far more feature complete than the default app.Leeofaus

Thanks so much. Please feel free to send me your new feature suggestions. Will make sure to try to implement. Thanks again 😀Stylish minimalist finance app
PocketLion (PL) is in a sense a streamlined collation of the most useful PocketSmith functions. I don’t believe PL is a complete substitute for their website app, but one would need to be pedantic indeed to believe there isn’t enough presented here.
I really liked the trend lines on the accounts screen, and the PL developer has indeed found a nice way to offer practically as much information on an iOS app as the PocketSmith website does... particularly around budgets and something of an emphasis on the Cashflow statement. Good form with the notifications too, bringing to attention those pesky transactions that should be categorised and perhaps edited.
The rather useful rolling 30-day expenditure report is now found in Expenses! One further suggestion is to add the ability to recall payees, though categories are accurately suggested after entering an existing payee. The developer is active (witness response to said feature request in a prior review) and new features may well be on the way.
A decent, if marginally expensive one-time purchase (plus tips if there be surplus value) that complements the PocketSmith system.Show lesswanderm

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful review. I’d be happy to add the 30 day rolling cash flow report. Will try to make sense of it on the web site. Or if you don’t mind can you please send me a note on how the date ranges work in this scenario? Edit: Version 2021.7 adds an option for rolling 30 days window for the expense reports. Please let me know how this works for you.Unusable!!!! Buyer beware!!!!
I bought this, the app is unusable without a free account at PockettSmith.com.
Signed up for the free account at the website.
Went back to the app and logged in.
1. I get error messages on every tab that I click.
2. The parent category does not even work.
3. The website sinks down to the app but the website is a very bad experience with a phone.Show lessCGlea

Mr. Gleaves! Thanks for your review. if you read the app description it states that: PocketLion for PocketSmith is a native universal 3rd-party iOS client app for PocketSmith, an online financial tool for tracking bank and credit card transactions, budgets, cash flow etc. PocketLion is not offering subscriptions to its services. PocketLion is a front end client app for PocketSmith. PocketSmith as a SAS system offers free or paid subscriptions, PocketLion does not: it is a mobile app for users who already have a PocketSmith subscription. In order to sign in to PocketLion either a free or a paid subscription for PocketSmith is needed. ----- if you are running into errors, please send me your app logs using the app and I will fix them immediately. If you care to read any of the previous reviews, you will see that I care about the quality of the app and attend to any issues immediately.A great alternative to the PocketSmith App
Firstly, this is an app interface for your paid pocketsmith account.
What the pocketsmith app does:
Gives you a general overview of your profile
Tracks budgets
Displays net worth
Categorises transactions
Passcode lock only
What this app does:
All of the above plus:
Cashflow statements
Trends
Amend categories
FaceID/TouchID support
If any of those features are important to have on your mobile device, then get this app.
4 Stars because I believe they could add more desktop level functionality. The bones are there. Such as:
View budgets by custom times. E.g. make all budget categories present over the same timeframe.
Account balance over time graphs
Calendar view
Scan receiptsShow lessTumbles1982
Must have app. Using daily
This is a great app that helps me being up to date with my bank accounts on the go.
Easy to navigate. Great experience.
Developer is very responsive and have implemented a few of my suggestions.
Keep it up!Olika102928
