### 1/5 — Schifo

*2026-06-22, version 4.0.1*

Non va

### 2/5 — Account Balances

*2026-02-09, version 4.0.1*

Determining account balances from within an account is not user friendly. I would like to see the balance after each transaction to aid in money management.

Additionally, I don’t see the ability to transfer funds between accounts in this app. Very poor app in my opinion.

### 5/5 — Great program and app

*2026-01-14, version 4.0.1*

I’ve been using Buxfer for 6 years. It allows me to do multi currencies and track spending with automatic downloads from most banks. The app allows me to check expenses or input cash spending easily in the go. A good tool to use with the main program.

### 1/5 — syncing issues not being fixed for several months

*2025-11-28, version 4.0.1*

syncing issues not being fixed for several months

### 5/5 — Happy user for over 5 years

*2025-11-18, version 4.0.1*

I’ve been consistently using Buxfer for the past 5 years and it has massively helped me to build my budget and keep my expenses under control. It also provides a nice aggregated view of all my assets which helps me to better manage my investments and plan for my not-that-far retirement.

### 1/5 — Good app, but bank sync didn’t work for months

*2025-11-13, version 4.0.1*

The CIBC sync was broken for over six months, and the main feature I paid for was unusable. Support couldn’t offer any compensation or extension. Disappointing experience for a paid subscription.

### 1/5 — Garbage!!!

*2025-10-26, version 4.0.1*

Whoever codes this please go eat excrement immediately

### 1/5 — SCAM!!!

*2025-10-08, version 4.0.1*

There is no way to cancel your membership in the app or online (says to go to settings then membership yet all you can do is upgrade your plan). I’ve reached out multiple times to try and cancel it and have not received a response. Don’t waste your money as you’ll have to go directly to your cc company.

### 1/5 — Can’t get on

*2025-10-07, version 4.0.1*

Would be nice if the security questions actually made sense. Literally I click the photos with stuff in them and it doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Sync issues

*2025-09-21, version 4.0.1*

I couldn’t get the app to link to my schools first credit union
