November 2, 2026

Thanks for using Buddy! This update adds a small home screen widget that shows what's left of your income, lets you reorder categories by dragging, and makes recurring transactions and budget syncing more reliable. We've also fixed lots of small things. Some new screens are rolling out gradually, so you may see them soon.

User reviews

Doesn’t work with Scotia or BMO

Been using this app for a long time and payed for it. App used to work good even auto categorizing accurately enough however:
-BMO always disconnects after every few days.
-duplicate transactions with multiple accounts is a little overwhelming.

-banks no longer syncing data since late August.
At this point the app is useless 1 star until fixed

Amazing app!

Love this app to organise my finances. If you take the time to organise and personalise your categories, it’s fantastic and super helpful. The manual act of putting in expenditure (as mine isn’t connect to my bank) makes you more mindful of your spending. Would highly recommend to everyone!

Doesn’t support Canadian banks

Looks like a great tool and I was so excited to use it. But because of new 2FA rules it wouldn’t allow me to connect any of my Canadian banks to the app. I tried to reach out to their team and no response about suggestions. Even if I could upload my transactions weekly that’d still make this app useable for me
