Very basic app

Very basic app that doesn’t even categorize basic transactions. You have to train their algorithm even for most basic/common transactions. Like it puts Tim Hortons under subscriptions. I was okay with training the algorithm as they have the option to move all similar transactions which works perfectly. But app doesn’t even let users to review and change previous months data.

My advise to developer is, Focus on building the app first get your algorithm trained, then focus on monetization.

Hi ossamarafique, The algorithm by default definitely puts Tim Hortons under Food. It sounds like you encountered an error somewhere in your setup. Sorry to hear that. If you reach out for support we’d gladly help you fix it. Richard

Decent app. Rude developer.

App privacy statement was broken and informed the dev. Was attacked for fake claims. Dev admitted it was a bug but still was rude in interacting. Changing the rating since I do think the app has potential but I would rather not pay money for something where I can’t even get support and get attacked by the dev.

Fatpanda didn’t ask for support. They posted false reviews about Cheddar because they found a broken link.

No TOU or Privacy Policy

This app has no information about who is the owner. The privacy policy or any legal information. It’s highly scary that this app was approved by apple especially since it’s a financial app. I would be extremely careful.

Super promising, clean UI, woefully inadequate

For a Canadian start-up, I am puzzled why several important quality of life features do not exists here, all within realm to develop somewhat easily:

- Canadian eTransfers often have a unique hash in their transaction statement, this throws off the auto-category sorting big time.

- Long transaction titles do not scroll so they are readable in the rather narrow gutter width.

- Auto-categorizing or bulk updating transaction to categories is based on what exactly? Allow users to auto-tag based on a (partial) character/string match instead.

- I imported two accounts, both through MX, one Canadian bank and the other one a wealth management platform. The latter’s finances show as being part of the former in Cheddar. Seriously.

Lots of pretty bells and whistles but you missed some pretty crucial stuff.

This won’t take much to beat everyone out of the park.

Hey Onnozelaer, It sounds like you have some dev experience. As you might know, the state of any software, at any given time, is the best the team could do, given the data they had available. If you tried out Cheddar 1 year ago I’m sure your review would have been (more) scathing. I appreciate the feedback and have been thinking about several of these already — some are not trivial. But if you kindly reach out to hello@cheddarcash.com, we prioritize helping our kind customers. Richard, Founder

Does not allow me to link my account

I was very excited by the features of this app. I linked my first bank account and it looked awesome. Went to link my second (main) account and it won’t allow me to.
Certainly disappointed.

Hi Tyler, Sorry you weren’t able to connect. As mentioned in my response to your support request, you have to turn off MFA to connect with any open banking platform, not just Cheddar. Richard

It’s not letting me sign in

Keeps trying to make me leave a review instead of letting me sign in to my account

Response from developer

Sorry you encountered this frustrating issue. Once we became aware, we quickly fixed it and pushed a new version to the App Store. Please message me at hello@cheddarcash.com so I can make this right. Richard, Founder

Great App

It crashed on me until I realized my software was outdated, there are a few little glitches but overall a very user friendly finance app. I love the widgets and the ability to import my financial history. It’s also a big plus that the app uses both plaid and MX, so I haven’t had any issues connecting to my banking accounts using both! There’s always an issue with one or the other so to have both as an option is great!

Great app!

This app has been game-changing! I have tried a few finance apps, but haven’t found one that I like. As someone that struggles with technology and gets overwhelmed with my finances, I am so glad to have finally found an app that is simple and easy to use! Highly recommend.

Thank you!

Wonderful app couldn’t recommend more

As a student who has trouble keeping track of her finances, this app has been able to help me so much. It is extremely organized and straightforward. It truly makes one realize where the bulk of my expenses lie. I would recommend it to anyone hoping to take charge. At first it had its problems, but the developers seem to have fixed it after feedback!!

Thank you!

Great for balancing the books

Got this app to help me stay on point with my spending after I could figure out why I never had money🥲. The app really helped me see my spending habit and rein thing in.
