### 5/5 — Best Budgeting App

*2026-06-23*

Simple and thorough. Easy to use. The best budgeting app for all my use cases. It’s not flashy but it’s solid and well-supported. One of the most useful apps on my phone.

### 5/5 — The ONLY Canadian Alternative

*2026-05-09*

I love this app, this is truly the only true budgeting app that has worked properly with synchronization with Canadian financial institution. I can’t believe I didn’t find this years ago, I wish they would market it outside of Word of Mouth a bit, I truly feel like this app could of saved me so much money then, hopefully it’s not too late 😅

### 3/5 — Great but..

*2026-04-29*

I have been having issues with the rule. Rules doesn’t work consistently and for some reason, new rules are created automatically even when I turned off the rule preferences setting. Sometimes, I have to spend more time fixing the transactions…

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for flagging this! Happy to confirm that the app had since been significantly updated and the reported bug has been fixed. If you’re still experiencing any issues, please reach out to us at support@lunchmoney.app and we’ll be happy to help!

### 1/5 — Subscription Fail

*2026-03-12*

I purchased an annual subscription through the App Store but 3 months into the subscription Lunch Money shows no active subscription.  The developer is unresponsive and I can’t get a refund through the App Store.  Maybe a monthly subscription would have worked but the annual does not.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for writing in and sorry to hear this happened. We offer a variety of different support channels and dedicated support team that is always available to help! If you're still having trouble, could you please reach out to us at support@lunchmoney.app so we can assist? Thank you!

### 3/5 — Income moved to spending?

*2026-01-30*

I love this app but since the last update, income was moved to spending!! Can you fix that?

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words, and for reaching out about this! With the migration to the v2 API, the mobile app now displays debits as positive and credits as negative as the default. While the web app includes a toggle for this display setting, user preferences are not yet fully reflected in the mobile app. We’re actively working to bring this into alignment and this should be resolved soon in an upcoming update. Thanks for the continued patience in the meantime!

### 1/5 — Sync issues, unusable product, absolutely atrocious customer support

*2026-01-02*

This product worked well until I started using wealth simple. My wealth simple accounts would constantly disconnect, and it’s always a hassle to reconnect. What’s more ridiculous is recently it started to report all the debit transactions as credits and I have to manually correct all of them. Like what?…
And every time I reach out to customer support the script is just to blame Plaid. Guess what? Monarch money seems to work just fine and they also use Plaid.
The lack of attention to this product breaking bug seems crazy to me given how popular WealthSimple is in Canada. 
Sad because I really liked this product initially but now it’s completely unusable.

**Developer response:** Thanks for writing in and sorry to hear about your experience!

Canadian bank connections are particularly prone to bank syncing issues today, as many of Canada’s major banks, including Wealthsimple, are still operating on older authentication methods while awaiting final open banking and OAuth regulatory guidance.

The Wealthsimple integration via Plaid has a number of known issues officially recognized by Plaid, and our support team actively escalates all reported issues to validate these issues and show user impact to help with fix prioritization.

If you’re open to it, please email us at support@lunchmoney.app with more details and I’d be happy to take another look at what you’re experiencing!

### 5/5 — Reallllly good

*2025-12-21*

Have been using this app for almost a year and really love it. I use it for expense and income tracking, but there are other features like budgeting that are likely very useful as well. I’d give it 6 stars if I could!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind feedback! It truly means a lot to us and we're so glad to hear you're a fan! 💛

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2025-12-17*

I’m genuinely impressed by how streamlined, simple, and minimalist this app is. It clearly knows its role: a lightweight, on-the-go companion rather than a bloated all-in-one solution. The heavy lifting is sensibly left to the web interface on a proper desktop screen, and that focus is exactly what I’m looking for

**Developer response:** We love this! Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad you’re enjoying the app’s design and that it fits so well into your workflow. It truly means a lot to hear. 💛

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-17*

Great app. Sometimes the banks accounts don’t update but overall love it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to many financial institutions

*2025-12-08*

Most of these apps use Plaid to connect to their financial institutions and that company does not connect to online banks like NEO or EQ.  It doesnt even connect to Royal Bank.

**Developer response:** Hi there! While Neo Financial is not currently supported for automatic syncing via Plaid, I can confirm that EQ Bank and RBC Royal Bank (Canada) should be available to connect! If you're still having trouble, please reach out at support@lunchmoney.app and we’d be happy to assist. :)
