No support for Apple Card - not useful

I think the idea is amazing but if there’s no support for the Apple Card it’s effectively useless to me. Had to cancel out of the free trial.

Response from developer

Glad you like the idea! We also wish there was support for the Apple Card in our account connections. Like most other budget apps, we work with Plaid to link financial institutions. We'll pass that along to them. Thanks.

Not afraid to budget anymore

I was intimidated to sit down and do a formal budget before. But this app is pretty easy to use, and it's satisfying to swipe my receipts. It turns something intimidating into a simple & fun task

Great tool!

What great, user-friendly budgeting tool! It has helped me to better keep track of my money and spending habits.

Easy to use

This app is my favorite budget tracker as it is so easy to use. I can easily swip my spendings and savings into the 4 categories. I also like the fact I can change my percents based on how I am feeling that month.

So much easier than spreadsheets

I’ve tried other apps and I’ve tried spreadsheets. This one is so much easier! The swiping is fun and I feel like I’m finally getting a handle on my money.

Easy to use!

Just swipe to categorize your expenses, makes budgeting easy! Love the colors too

Sooo easy and useful!

This app is definitely the easiest and most user-friendly budgeting tool I’ve come across. It takes no time at all to set up, and dare I say that it’s fun to use? I love the swiping! Also the percentages make a ton of sense and really make it easy to understand where all my money is going. And the colors of the logo make me happy 🙃

Does not support all banks

This app looks so promising, especially since I have been looking for a replacement for Mint for ages. However, this app only uses plaid to link bank accounts, and my bank (Fidelity) does not work with plaid. Hopefully they will come up with another way to link accounts, as this is a pretty common issue I run in to. Since Fidelity is a leading investment account, I also feel like this would be worth trouble shooting since 1/4 of this app is about saving.

Thanks for your input here. Plaid classifies accounts based on the institution, and Fidelity is considered to be in a different category than most major banks. So yes, this is going to be a common concern across all apps integrating with Plaid. We do eventually want to add features for investment accounts. Hope you'll stay tuned. Until then, good luck and thanks for giving us the chance to look into this!
