Was Excited
I was excited to use this as I watch Caleb a lot. Every time I try to connect my bank, nothing happens. Super frustrating!
I can’t reset my password
I liked the app when I downloaded it a year ago and decided to pay full price and redownload it today. Problem is, when I hit reset password and type the code in, the “continue” button in green at the bottom doesn’t work. I’ve attempted this twice with 2 different codes but the continue button does not work. So, I have no access to the app. I’ll change this review to 5 stars if it’s fixed but that’s a pretty broken feature for an app that’s supposed to track sensitive financial information. Changing a password is basic… :(

Caleb=🐐
I got this app because of Financial Audit. I like knowing that Caleb has been in the trenches of debt, and knows how it is. I thought I was good at budgeting through my notes app, but once I typed everything out, and saw how much I was actually spending, I was surprised.
My only complaint would be that you have to manually set your own budget. I’d rather it be automatic/ AI, and it budgets based off income, what’s important to you (I.e, paying more on credit card debt, etc.) rather than you having to set your own budget. It’d be nice if it could do its own layout, and then maybe the user adjusts as needed?
Regardless, great app. Really shines a light on where my money goes, and how to budget down to the dollar to make it count.

This is NOT free
I was caught off guard to find that this is a paid subscription app, AFTER having connected my bank accounts. I had seen this advertised as free. It’s very shady to connect banks THEN ask what payment I would like to choose. 🫣
Connecting bank
I wanted to try to use this app for budgeting for my future but it won’t let me connect to my bank and kinda disappointed with that and it wants me to pay for the app even though I can’t connect my bank to the app I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but not happy about it
Can’t Connect my Bank Account
I downloaded this app intending to use it to help me with my spending, and see where I can make adjustments to help get out of debt and start saving. Currently I can’t get the app to work.
Tried because of Caleb Hammer
I listen to a ton of financial audit while driving for work, with his baked in adds, it finally got to me to give it a shot. Let me say, I am very disappointed.
Issues I have:
1. Extremely inflated income estimation that seems to come from nowhere, I made sure to go through and check all items labeled as income and yet it was calculating about 230% of my actual monthly income.
2. When sorting activity you can't click into the purchase to see what account it was from, when you have multiple accounts and some used solely by your partner or others, you don't always know what a charge is for, but if I could click to see what account, it would help me figure it out faster
3. No insights based on estimated income, in the pie chart section, I could put whatever I want in each section, so I could budget $1,000 for everything without it telling me that I'm over my monthly income that I manually put in. Should subtract from the income and show you how much you have left to distribute, and offer AI insights of where to put more money.
4. Too many options for categories, when Caleb does his budget he pretty much has housing, debt payments, TP fund, groceries, utilities/bills, fuel, and fun/misc money the app is preloaded with SOO many tags, it's so cumbersome and then your having to create your own and delete out others.
5. The app is not intuitive, I was searching Google trying to find instructions to use it and ended up finding someone's YouTube series just to get a basic understanding. Things you would think would be simple like on the home tab, it shows "income" and "fixed-spending" one would think you could click those to modify or view where it's coming from, but no such luck.
6. The insights are confusing and can be unhelpful, it's labeling my mortgage as an unusual purchase even though there's 2 years history and all are categorized yet still "unusual purchase"
7. When you are in the insights tab, and inside of each category, it gives you a bar graph of previous months. Can you click to the previous months to see transactions? No. Can you click the down arrow next to "this month" to see other months? No.
This app has a LOT of potential! I love the auto syncing to the accounts, being able to connect my bank and credit and other all in one spot is awesome! But due to my experience I have actually canceled my subscription and I am not even out of the 3 day free trial yet. I am not saying I wouldn't come back but would need to see updates and fixes in order to do so. Between my experience and thinking about spending $100 a year on this app, I will go back and spend an hour on my spreadsheet to re-organize and use that.
Love Financial Audit, just disappointed that the app is clunky, cumbersome, and overall not an enjoyable experience. I hope improvements are made at which point I will be back!

User issues
When going through the activity page to assign each transaction to wants,needs, savings. You have to click the category you want it in like 5-7 times before it actually puts it in there. It does not do it every time, it’s every other time or more. I’ve tried closing app out and that doesn’t seem to fix the issue. It does it very frequently. Other than that perfect app.

Waste of money
I paid the anual version just to face constant syncing issues that support blamed on my banks (before they stopped replying). I just wonder how come the same banks don’t have the same issues with rocket money? 🤔 even the budgeting tool from Bank of America was more useful than Dollarwise! Total disappointment.

Very upset
First I’m upset because I’m would like to try and find a good budgeting app to help get out of debt and get my money under control. But you only get a 2-3 day trial? And then you got to pay. That doesn’t even give me enough time to build a budget. But then I learn Caleb is out here dragging Veterans and VA “disability”. 1 it’s compensation for serving this country we live in and getting used and abused by the US Government. It’s not the same as Civilian Disability. 2 there are different levels of VA compensation and one of them is about unemployability of the service member. Screw you Caleb, I don’t even want to try you dumb app and I hope you loose followers. You’re not even good at what you do! You just harass and abuse the people on your show….

Does Not Work
Connected to my bank account multiple times for it to not pull any information from it and constantly prompt me to connect it. WHILE STATING IT WAS CONNECTED. Did not show me anything useful or helpful. Did not properly import anything as it is advertised to. Very lame.
Ugh
I’m really wanting to enjoy this app. I downloaded it and submitted and accepted all of my bank accounts and credit cards. Then when I’m in the app it says I have to reconnect my information for accounts. Okay sure… did that for the main home page. Go to insights page and activity page and I have to do it again???? Why do I have to relog my information to connect it over and over again????

None Functionally App
Unfortunately after attempting to utilize this application, I was unfortunately met with significant lag, which hindered my ability to access the finical assistance or other advertised features. Regrettably, none of my financial information, including my spending, bills, or other relevant data, was displayed, rendering the application largely ineffective and a waste of time.

Don’t waste your time, terrible app
I downloaded the app March 2025, it wasn’t good so I deleted it. After watching financial audit 3 times a week and them talking about how it’s improved I downloaded it again and paid for the year membership. It’s still terrible, I’ve added my accounts 3 times and after each time I add them and go back to home page and the app won’t accept any of my accounts,
I’m prompted with “connect your first account”

Solid App - Lack of security a concern
It’s a solid budgeting app with a simple GUI. However, no MFA enforcement on the account itself and no Face ID for when the app opens is a huge concern. I know you can enable Face ID as a user but security should be prioritized as a financial data company.
Doesn’t work very well
I had the app for one day and came across issues such as it was double counting transactions, counted my husband’s paycheck as spending, flagged our mortgage payments as “high spending”. Couldn’t fix these errors. Wasn’t intuitive to use either in the UI design. Wouldn’t recommend.
Don’t waste your time
The app layout kinda sucks, it doesn’t break down spending well at all you have to manually do everything. On top of that you get zero access to the app unless you pay first. Ironic an app that’s suppose to help you budget and track your spending requires you to pay before getting to check the app out.

Love it.
I learned about this app through Financial audit, I love you it lets you itemized the purchases from “ needs and wants” I saved over $700
Last month just by learning about my small purchases that were adding up.

Don’t waste your time
Buggy AI built app that doesn’t let you cancel the subscription in the app. Says it sends you a login link to your email to cancel it but never does. Scummy and scammy.
Awesome sauce
Great app. Very easy to link bank info, and see where I can improve.
