### 2/5 — Doesn’t update

*2024-01-19, version 2.0.25*

This app relies on syncing from the desktop cloud. It doesn’t update itself. Not worth the £4.99!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-07-04, version 2.0.25*

Works for a few days on my IPad, then crashes and have to turn the IPad off and restart,
Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2022-03-23, version 2.0.25*

Been using Bank Tree for a few years now. The online versions is pretty good and you can export to excel which open the doors to a lot of options. 

This app I have really struggled to use. The positives is that you can maybe find transaction info on the go and add receipts to transactions from your mobile. 

It’s disappointing that you can’t sync to the bank. This would really help keep on top of your transactions. 

The app layout doesn’t mirror online when it comes to accounts. Eg you can group your accounts into current accounts or savings etc, but here it just lists them. The accounts page confuses me because I assumed if you clicked on it, the next click would show transactions, but it seems to only show a screen where to can manage the name etc. 

I’m not convinced on the search facility. 

I find it’s just quicker to go and find the laptop, than use the app.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2022-03-09, version 2.0.25*

I am trying the “free” version before I commit to buy and there’s a problem. If you try to delete a category it comes up with a window stating you need the full version to do this so press ok or go. If you press either choice it just freezes and will not budge unless you turn your phone off and back on. Not impressed.

### 1/5 — Keeps freezing

*2022-01-14, version 2.0.24*

This is the 4th time I have had t delete and re download the app because it froze.  I have the pro version on my iPad but this doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone.  The entries don’t always synchronise.  The online version is quite good but the app is pretty poor tbh.

### 4/5 — It just works

*2021-06-28*

I’ve tried a few personal financial applications. This one has a great user interface. Being a UK written app it does not support my bank here in Australia. That will be very welcome if it ever happens down the track. In the meantime using the he product’s import facility will suffice. The YouTube tutorials are not perfect but are useful as an introduction. I love the BankTree’s multi platform synch facility. Once set up ‘it just works’.

### 2/5 — Really needs some basic functionality adding

*2020-05-28, version 2.0.20*

While this works and syncs well with the Online cloud version it is lacking in some basic functionality. The ability to reconcile a transaction (without having to go to a pc) for starters. Adding a new category or payee is clunky and counter intuitive (why not save a new payee as you type the transaction in instead of having to go to + when you find out it doesn’t already exist, then make sure you put focus in the right box then confirm then go back to the transaction?)  - so long winded. This app could really complement BankTree Online with a bit of thought

### 4/5 — So Easy

*2020-05-15, version 2.0.20*

It’s so easy to keep track of finances...Online takes control so if you started on phone or tablet then go to do merge the online takes control and wipes all that you’ve done.. however I find it great to keep control on my iPad..

### 1/5 — Difficult to import.

*2020-04-06, version 2.0.20*

Been using BankTree 2 on PC for many years and use it religiously every day. Bought the premium version of this iPad app to allow me to use it on the go but it just won’t import the backup file from my pc using Google Drive or DropBox, also tried emailing the backup file and saving to my iPad to import from there but no joy. Then looked to see if there was a upgraded p.c. version but this costs £35.00. Tried the free trial to see if it was worth upgrading but it completely messed up all the account values on my p.c. when importing my backup file. Moral of the story, if starting from scratch it’s probably okay but if like me you need to import older files then don’t waste your time. Thank fully it’s only £4.99 down the drain.

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2019-06-24, version 2.0.20*

One of the best apps. I use this with BankTree online - both work very well for me.
