  • Loving it but missing a few features

    I have been using the app since Mint was discontinued; so far it’s pretty great and continues to improve! I will say, however, that I’m missing the ability to view my cash flow trends. Mint provided charts of total monthly spending, income, and cash flow trends over the last six months. Please consider adding this in the next update! Otherwise, keep up the great work!

  • Another Mint user making the switch. Good so far

    After Mint became defunct, I was looking for something that could replace it. Piere is doing a great job so far. It has a nice interface and a lot of the functionality I was looking for is already there. I am hoping this takes the lead as the replacement for mint so that it gets even more updates and functionality.

  • Still in Beta mode, but very promising Mint replacement

    The app is still being streamlined and improvements are coming out weekly/monthly.

    So far what I like: User interface (design, transaction icons with company logos, color layout), auto budget feature that helps create your budget, ability to change categories with “apply to all transactions” of the same likes. Has essentially all of the necessary account and institutions I need, except Apple Savings. Used MX for account verification but they’ve also said they will be integrating Plaid.

    What could be improved: Ability to track property asset values with Zillow or Redfin, ability to associate a physical asset (home or car) with a loan account. Apple Card stability- adding this account is extremely difficult and I’m not sure which end is at fault (Apple or MX). Adding a shared account for couples would be a game changer, which Monarch currently allows.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! We're glad that you appreciate our user interface, and we're excited to let you know that the features you mentioned are already on our roadmap! Currently, you can add a physical asset by navigating to “add account,” scrolling to the bottom of the page, and selecting “add account manually.” This will ensure it's included in your net worth calculations. Regarding your Apple Card, please feel free to email us at contact@piere.com, and I'd be to look into this for you. -Melissa
  • Great customer Service

    With mint when I had issues I could file an issue but would not get any response and most of the time it just wouldn’t work with all my accounts. Tried Piere and had a problem with my credit union checking account which has been my main account for over 40 years and would not change. Let them know the problem and they were great. They worked with Mx and figured out that the issue was my CU had changed platforms and Mx was showing two accounts instead of one. They deleted the extra account and everything works great. Multiple very friendly emails to get it working over a few weeks. Never seen an app developer with better customer support.

  • Finally! Yes!

    I want to say I went through 5 or 6 different apps to replace mint and this one is the first one with the features that I actually use.

    The one piece of feedback that would be really nice is the ability to change the category and split transactions to multiple categories while the transaction is still pending. And for it not to revert back to the original category once it settles. Mint couldn’t really do this, but I would love that capability.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you've found Piere to be the best fit. I'll bring this request to our developers and try to find a spot for it on our roadmap. Thank you for being a Piere user!- Melissa
  • good switch so far but needs a lot of improvement

    The app has been the easiest to use since mint is dead, but I have a couple of gripes with the app as a user that I really hope gets fixed because there’s a lot of potential. I’m surprised these minor issues have all been ignored and for whatever reason ai integration seems to be more of a priority.

    1) Every time I split a transaction it takes me back to the home screen as opposed to whatever screen I was on before. confusing user flow.

    2) All of my apple pay transactions read exactly as that - apple pay. No further detail. They also don’t show up in my budget. Most of my transactions are made on apple pay- how am i supposed to budget properly if I don’t know the merchant?

    3) Custom categories cannot be deleted

    4) When changing the category of something, searching for the larger overall category doesn’t pull up all the corresponding ones below.

    5) UI is very large and clunky. This is personal preference but I do not enjoy experiencing the app as if I had it set on magnify. This also makes it hard to view more of my budget at once.

    I hope these get fixed soon as I find the app very good aside from these problems I have faced. These are mostly UI/UX decisions that have been overlooked and should be fixed to ensure a smoother experience.

  • Looking great so far!

    Another Mint user frantically searching for an alternative. I’m eagerly awaiting the desktop version because the mobile app is a bit of a challenge, in small ways. If I have to nitpick, I would love bolder type on the category headings so I don’t have to hunt down glasses, hah. I would also love to be able to tap on a field to edit vs trying to tap just the right spot on the edit icon to get it to pull up. That tried my patience, esp w trying to edit a transaction title. Also, it would be really helpful to be able to set an individual budget item over x number of months so it accumulates until the expenditure. Ie, I only get a water bill every other month, same with haircut.

    Love being able to see and categorize all transactions. Can change dates and title if needed too, perfect. For now, it’s really helpful and has a Mint feel.

    I do agree tho that trends for income and spending and ability to filter by category are crucial to the long term success of this app. I used Mint for not only personal but also small business taxes, so I really need those functions to tally up the totals. And I would happily pay a small monthly fee if it meant getting all that functionality back.

    Just did my personal finances for now, will hold off on business to see how this develops but am excited about the direction it’s taking and appreciate the value you are placing on our feedback. Keep going!

  • Very happy; replaced Mint

    Since Mint shut down, I have tried various other budgeting apps, but none of them could do every thing I wanted. This app has far exceeded all my expectations. It does so much, and does so without bombarding me with ads. I love that the developers are interacting with the users via email and Reddit, and am excited to see the future of Piere.

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for using Piere!
  • Excited for the direction of this app!

    Like many others, I was left stranded without a finance app replacement when Mint shut down. After a lot of research, I decided to give Piere a try after reading positive reviews about their responsiveness and thoughtfulness and the fact that they were offering a free signup. So far I have had a great experience and I highly recommend this app. My transition from Mint was very smooth and their customer service provided helpful and fast support when I needed it. The app definitely still has few kinks (although so did Mint) but they have continued to seek feedback from their users and I have a lot of faith in the developers’ commitment to improving things.

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for your feedback! We look forward to continue to build an app that meets your personal finance needs.
  • Mint Alternative

    I’ve been with Mint since the early days and have watched it improve over the years. I hope to do the same now with Piere! It’s a nice budgeting app and I’m enjoying it so far. But I have two issues:

    1. I submitted a request that they add Marcus by Goldman Sachs since I have a HYSA with them that I haven’t been able to connect. I do hope to be able to connect it sometime in the future.

    2. One of my main bank accounts is constantly having connection issues. However, this may be my bank account’s fault and not Piere’s. The connection is constantly expiring and the whole process of trying to reconnect it often ends with my bank account access being blocked due to some issue with the security questions. I’ve tried to talk with my bank about it but they’re no help.

    I’m going to stick with the app because I have high hopes for it. I know Mint wasn’t perfect and could be glitchy at times. But so far, Piere has been a great alternative, despite the account connection issues I’m facing.
