Why force combined categories?

The recent change to categories completely messed up my entire logging system and now it’s going to take me an hour to manually fix. Why wasn’t there an option to keep categories as is?

Response from developer

Latest update (8.0) destroyed budgets

I’ve been using Money Lover for years but the latest update not only broke all my categories but also deleted all the budgets I had set up. I used to have budgets set for each month for the next 12 months. These have all disappeared since the update. This means all my financial planning has gone and I have to re-do them all as well as remember any non-regular expenses that I had planned for in the future as this app was the only way I had noted and planned for them.

The way the budgeting is set up seems to have changed too. I used to have a total budget for each month that I could then click into and see it broken down by categories. It would show any money that had been budgeted for the month that still wasn’t assigned a category as well but now it just lists all categories for all months in one big list. A lot less easy for me to use when I was used to being able to plan each month separately.

It also allows the sum of all budgets for the individual categories to be greater than the budget for ‘all categories’. This makes it really difficult for me as I liked to set an overall budget for the month and then break that down into categories. This is no longer possible.

Really wish I had not updated as it has really broken all my budgeting. May have to look elsewhere for an app that better meets my needs which is a shame as I had been using this app for many years with no issue.

Sub-categories minimize under the Main Categories

I have been using your app since long. It is really a useful app. But it is very irritating to scroll down and up to select a category to expenses or income if i have many types. It will be helpful if you show the main categories and only show the sub categories once you tap the main category like other apps do. Thanks for your support.

Should you need to transfer money from one wallet to another, please go to Transactions tab > Choose a wallet > Tap on the 3 dots menu > Choose "Transfer money". If you need further support, do not hesitate to write to us at contact@moneylover.me.

Why do you have to mess with my categories.

The update force you to accept combining your categories. It completely changes the structure of all my categories. All categories become a parent category on its own. Some category got lost. I now cannot delete or merge a category. Also why do you have to remove the web app. I know you re-launch it but it is only read-only and its useless. The widget is now become a simple button. This is getting worse!

Money hungry

THEY ARE THE SCUMMIST DEVELOPERS I'VE EBER SEEN. MONEY HUNGRY, GREEDY AND ILL INTENTIONED. YOU GUYS ARE A DISGRACE TO HARD WORKING VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY ALL AROUND THE WORLD. SHAME ON YOU

Bunch of scum developers who try to gouge users to upgrade and pay for useless things in a money saving app. Can't use ur custom categories, can't access last month's transactions. And search function is still useless after I complained about it

Sorry to hear that! Could you write to us at contact@moneylover.me with more details of your issue? We'd love to help you troubleshoot.

Simply 5* now for recent Apple Watch integration

Thanks for bringing the Apple Watch version! But still I have one final request! In Apple Watch I need to write the Wallet name to add the transaction there. But that would be awesome if you can give an option to select the Wallet from there. Because some of the Wallet have some complex name with special characters. It will be good UX if you can bring the select option instead of writing the exact wallet name! Hope it make sense! Thank you again for bringing up the Apple Watch version again.

Hey abid_hasan112! 😊 Thanks a million for your fantastic review. We're super stoked you're enjoying the Apple Watch version! 🎉 And your suggestion about selecting the wallet instead of typing in the complex name is absolutely brilliant. We've passed it on to our development team for consideration. Cheers! 🙌

Best personal finance tracker!

Been using it more than 6 years .... track all my finances with it ... really amazing app!

Full support - but please add a calendar function. I saw another app that has a small calendar where you can see the total of the transactions done per day income/expenses. Would be a great feature!

Response from developer

Great app but…

It’s a great app reach budget goals. Good view of the financial situation in graphs. However, it’s not useful to look at your income and expenses in the future.

Not as it used to be

This app is no longer provide an excellent service as it once did. Before I could open a support ticket straight in the app but now it needs to be done via email (clear downgrade in user-friendliness). Second, I almost purchased another year of Bank Link service which displayed error when I tried to link ACB bank with MoneyLover. I then wrote an email to MoneyLover in November 2022 asking when ACB connection will be restored for which they answered that if that happens they would let me know. Of course, I heard back nothing until I wrote asking the status of my request for which they answered that ACB bank problem was fixed. (Thanks for letting me know on time…). Nevertheless, this time I couldnt even find ACB bank in supported bank list. Thus, the support agent didnt even know what’s going on.

Such a TERRIBLE experience.
