Great Concept, Half-Baked Execution
I really wanted to love Cashews, but it feels incomplete in too many critical areas. The app offers a manual categorization mode, but there's no way to actually edit your category list manually—a pretty glaring oversight. Basic functions like categorizing individual transactions (both current and future) simply don't work, and the transaction filter is equally unreliable.
I wasn't expecting a perfect 1:1 replacement for manual entry, but when the ML makes mistakes, correcting them is so cumbersome that it defeats the purpose of automation. The app fails at the fundamental stuff you'd expect to "just work" in a finance tracker. It's frustrating because the bones of a good app are here, but the lack of polish on essential features makes it more trouble than it's worth.
Until these basic functionalities are fixed, I can't recommend it.

An intuitive budgeting tool that doesn’t require handholding
Cashews is different. It summarizes the transactions across accounts seamlessly and doesn’t force me to repeatedly relabel transactions over and over. This is a great app and anyone interested in seeing a big picture view of their spending capacity and habits should give it a try.
Love the experience
Not worth your time

Told me to spend all my money in one month
Result of the analysis: the app tells me I can spend ALL my account money each month. Not even my salary, just my whole savings. Maybe I did something wrong, but it doesn’t seem that « smart ». ML doesn’t help if it’s misused… $6 lost, my first 1* review.

Hi Quentin123454321, We're sorry to hear that you’re having a bad experience with our app. Your feedback is important to us and has been noted. Our team will deploy updates to the Spendable calculation formula based on your feedback. It seems like Cashews showed you a high Spendable balance due to high bank account balance. We'd recommend excluding such accounts (savings, investment, retirement, etc.) from analysis. Hope to have you as a valued user in the future!
