There is help!

I needed a lot of help. The help is so great and it’s free!!!

Disappointing Lack of iPhone Duo Optimization

I use this app every day, and it’s frustrating that it still hasn’t been properly optimized for the new iPhone Duo and its foldable display. For such a widely used app, I would expect better support for new devices, especially when it comes to full-screen functionality and taking advantage of the larger unfolded display.

It’s disappointing that users can’t fully enjoy the app on their new phones. I hope the developers take this seriously and prioritize releasing an optimized update as soon as possible. Until then, the lack of proper support significantly affects the overall experience.

Never got on line or called me or wasn’t on zoom

Very disappointing

Needs improvement but great app

The main thing I think is needed is a visible “Note” area at the top of each month. Rather than trying to remember why you budgeted extra in certain categories it’d be great if you could have some room to write “fair, anniversary, property taxes due, etc.”

Phone Bill?

I have the free version and I can’t find where to add the phone bill. No option to put dates on bills that I can figure out either. I’m trying to get out of debt so I can’t justify the price tag on the premium version.

If you get a subscription through your employer get ready to be frustrated

I got this as an app package available from my employer. My employer spends money every quarter per person subscriptions but every time they update the app the subscription goes please contact support your subscriptions have lapsed. Since they update the app so much I am always having issues. I had to unsubscribe because it was such a time suck to troubleshoot.

Robbing from people trying to get back on track is immoral

Charging $80 a year for people already struggling is insane while bragging about his 650 million dollar office in Tennessee on the podcast. I would pay $4 a month for this but not anything more than that. Sad to see this new update. I won’t be using Ramsey anymore

Nice & easy

I’ve been using the app for several months now in place of a spreadsheet. Easy to use. One suggestion I have is to allow us to choose a different start date for the planning month. I get paid once a month on the 20th of every month, so that’s really when my budget resets - not on the 1st of each month. Makes it a little trickier. Otherwise, great! Thanks!

Great Organizer

Have used for years and have had very few issues with it. Appreciate the ability to make the plans flexible by creating different categories and tracking lines.

Is there a chance that a different budget style format would become available? My wife and I are paid every two weeks and the app feels like it’s set up for a house that gets paid once a month.

Great app

I love this app , the peace of mind factor and seeing when I can move funds over using paycheck planning is super valuable.

I just wish that for paychecks there were an option to say paychecks are every two weeks and set a start date and let the system determine when funds will be ready exactly , right now I leave it as 1st and 15th but that’s not accurate it’s more of paychecks come in every 2 fridays, but can’t choose that as an option, please add. Thanks!

Banking Connectivity Issue

I am currently utilizing the trial period and have found the app to be significantly problematic - I have link by banking, via Plaid, and it does NOT update transactions. I have manually entered transactions for days, and find this absurd, considering this is part of the “paid” function (and I’ve paid considering you MUST enter payment info to obtain trial period). Further, there is not a “delete” option for any line item you may have entered correctly; users aren’t able to relocate budget lines between categories - overall, this app seems highly non user friendly and if this functionality doesn’t improve over the course of the next week, I’ll be cancelling.

So frustrated

I’ve used this app for 5 years with only a hiccup here and there. However, today it suddenly gives me a blank green screen. I tried every recommended fix and nothing works. I’m extremely frustrated because even though o can still access my budget on my MacBook, that’s not how I use it. I use the app on my iPhone. It won’t let me log in to the website on my phone. It goes straight to the app which again, is a blank green screen. I use it on the go and don’t carry my MacBook everywhere I go.

Update: the issue is fixed for the most part. It still occasionally goes blank but I’m able to log out and log back in and it works fine. It’s annoying if I’m in a hurry but not a deal breaker considering how useful this app actually is.

Developer Fixed the issue! Thanks. Works great now!

10/9 Update! Issue resolved!

I haven’t used this in a while, thought I would try again. Entered everything for the moth. Took a couple hours. Then when I went back in to review and add a transaction, it would not open past a green blank screen. I contacted the AI help. They said it was on my end, funny, I don’t have issues with any of my apps. But I deleted the app and it reloaded. Then used it and it now crashed again.

Another dream would be a chart every month to see cash flow, but I see I need to pay for that. I get it….., but it isn’t in the budget. It’s still super helpful without a printout!

Great Budget App.

This is a very good budget ad. I really like the interface and how easy it is to use. It is something very simple and very powerful at the same time. Some things I would like to see in the app, even if I have to pay a little bit more: new notifications when a budget category goes beyond my expenses limit, new notifications when new transaction hit the app, ability to categorize pending spending transactions, ability to create rules to cancel a transaction like when moving money from checking to savings account and vice versa. (This is to avoid so many duplicates.)

This one is a maybe: in the home tab, create the ability to track net worth; so we can connect our investment accounts, and then we can track how we are doing.

Love it, wish it had subtotals

I switched from YNAB to EveryDollar a few years ago, and I love it. Simple, worth paying for the auto transactions. The only thing I miss from YNAB is being able to see the subtotals of each budget category (housing, transportation, etc.). I like seeing the percentage in the budget summary, but seeing the subtotals as I give each dollar its job would be nice, too.

Change

I have loved this app for 6 years now. I religiously moved my widgets to the budget item every day. With 4 kids and a busy house, this helped me stay on top of my budget. Well just this summer they switched to plaid to connect to your bank instead of connecting directly. It goes through a third party and plaid is a mess. It misses some of my purchases especially over the weekends. They are delayed even though it say in my bank that it’s been processed. It’s made me totally miscalculate my budget to the point of dropping negative because well you make an EveryDollar budget so if you over spend on one item without knowing you’re screwed. Bring back the old way please. I’ve been looking at other apps. I’m looking at you Dave Ramsey

Refresh still doesn’t work

For the past few months, I always see a number in my app like I have to resolve a transaction. The number is always wrong. It always has two extra “transactions “ that are not there when I actually open the app. This is a thing all day long. Very annoying to see that red number and nothing to actually resolve. Please fix this! My phone and my app are at the latest update.

Difficult to cancel

I attempted to cancel the introductory subscription several times before I was charged for a full year. This app does NOT show under Apple subscriptions. The help feature on the website directs me back to Apple to
cancel! It’s a HUGE contradiction for an app that’s advertised to help
with fiscal responsibility to actually be a subscription trap. Do better, Dave Ramsey!!!!!!

It Really Does Work

At first I thought it was complicated. After a couple of weeks using Eveydollar, I got the hang of it. I would like to see fireworks when I pay off a debt item.

The best!

This app is phenomenal!
