Looks like a scam app

Tried to add my finance info and it keeps having problems logging in. So it made me think it’s a scam app, they ask you for ssn and accounts. I get it. But when it’s bouncing back it means someone in regulations put a plug on adding new stuff because money and info have been stoked and resold.
Bunch of screens that are useless. You see more ads than your actual info.
Tried to check my score it stayed on the same screen for 4 times and I gave up. Thanks, but NO. They lure you in by not asking for a subscription, but I’d rather pay a small fee and have a reliable dealer than shady app that does nothing.

I’m new to the app so let’s see how it goes ?

The Smart Money App

It’s a great Money App! Try it for yourself..

So buggy

Used to be a great app but (1) my Interactive Brokers won’t update (has been 7 days…), and there’s no clear way for me to delete it & re-add it and (2) I can’t delete certain accounts.

Convenient

Worst financial app out there

I never leave reviews but this one is an exception. This app is genuinely the biggest pile of garbage ever made by humanity. A random intern can come up with a better UX.

The user journey is a labyrinth, all screen space is occupied by 90% and 10% useful information. It’s as if the whole app was made by a team of 10 program managers all competing for scope.

U need to click like 7 different parts of the screen before u see any spending breakdown… this app has “news” section given more priority than your budget.

Additionally:
- It counts between account transfers as income.
- Breakdowns only go as far as a couple of months back
- Which Genius came up with the idea that I ever want to see all transactions as a list
- Have some shame showing “beta” features.
- Who needs their net worth on the first page? The same customer profile who requires this low iq needs/wants breakdown?

Unstable, resource hog

Phone turns into a hand warmer after launching and until it’s force quit. Unable to reliably switch between tabs or view accounts since the last couple updates.

Terrible update

Removed the only reason I downloaded this app. For a budgeting option. And then put in some garbage news stories and investment tab nobody asked for.

Edit: nice they added it back, too bad I moved on to rocket money

Why NerdWallet is good for everyone

I started with NerdWallet about five months ago was totally ignorant on investing and actually done some advisor investing and turned out that I profited $2000 in three months and I am so glad I chose

Introduced way too many bugs

Every time I take an action for 5 mins in the app, I get the little frog saying that something went wrong. The bugs are increasing. It’s becoming painful to use this app.

New budget layout is bad

I hate the new budget layout - so much so that I am going to look for another app or go back to manual tracking. I need to be able to zoom out across multiple months and years and see how my earning and spending trends across multiple periods with different granularity. Now I can only see spend for each month or YTD and it completely removed the income view.

It organized my finances

I was looking for something that could help me organize all my finances in one place and found this through social media

Great tracker of overall net-worth!

I use this app mainly to keep up with my overall net-worth. It takes awhile to update so it’s not completely accurate but, it’s not far off at all. I like it a lot but, it could be better!

“Ad free”

Basically since I started using it now it’s become a loan tracker. With ads and ads for loans, credit cards, and insurance. Tells me very little about my actual finances anymore.

Great

I love it

Makes Tracking and Monitoring Financials Easy

Overall this app makes tracking and monitoring my spending, income, debts and more so quick and easy. They’re able to integrate with so many companies, even local ones. There’s options to manually add accounts and debts, even if they’re not associated with a company, to see the overall picture. The only thing that I’d like changed is the option to manually add categories to the spending tracking, because it’s limited so many of my typical purchases have to be lumped together under categories that don’t fully match or under ‘other’ or ‘uncategorized’, so tracking the categories of where my money is being spent each month is somewhat incomplete and inconsistent. They don’t even have a category for credit cards so I have to lump those payments under loans, which is really a completely different thing. And things like buying gifts for people or spending for special occasions is different than shopping. More categories or the option to add my own additional categories for what I spent money on would be extremely helpful so I can get a full picture of what I actually am spending money on each month.
