I can’t even view the apps features to see if it’s what I need. ### 2/5 — Didn't work right *2024-05-09, version 1.5.13* I tried to use the app but it was too controlling. The recipes idea seemed great, until you try adding ingredients and you can't type your own. Kimchi, Schnitzel, Napoli Sauce etc. Also looking for a place to track bills, this didn't seem to have a comfortable option with the planner glitching when I tried using it. Has potential, but not for me. ### 3/5 — Wish I could rate higher *2024-04-08, version 1.5.13* Downloaded the app when it was first released and I loved it, I deleted it after a time as I felt we had control of our budget and day to day running of our home. Recently I tried to redownload it but the app does not seem to start up, I’ve tried restarting my phone and removing/re adding the app several times to no avail. Sadly I will have to use a different app ### 4/5 — Cool *2024-04-06, version 1.5.13* Super app j'adore le disign, seul bémol, il n'y a pas en langue française ### 3/5 — Looks great, but falls short *2023-10-20* App looks amazing, but would a more user friendly way of reorganising cleaning tasks - for example, we do groceries on a Saturday, this app has “put groceries away” on a Monday but to change it, I can’t just move it, I have to remove it and readd it. I would also like the option to “bulk remove” tasks that don’t need doing - we don’t have an ensuite. The app stops working after every second task you remove… causing a restart of the app. The pastel is a little harsh - a dark option would be great, or the option to change themes. Still so many ways it could be improved, especially for the price paid **Developer response:** Hey lovely, Sorry to hear you're having issues! Please flick support@picketfeds.com an email so we can troubleshoot it for you as you should be able to drag and drop everything :) xx ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-10-13, version 1.5.10* All this is missing is a calendar to set my work days , birthdays (set to yearly reminders) reoccurring and appointments etc … other than that amazing app! One of the best iv come across. Just without the features iv stated im stick flicking between apps and wouldn’t want to miss things. ### 2/5 — Frustrating to use *2023-06-18, version 1.5.8* I don’t love the updates, it’s frustrating to use. The meal section doesn’t clearly show what is in each day. I think it needs to be simplified and easier to visually see. ### 4/5 — Super glitchy lately *2023-06-16* It started out great but lately when you open the app it defaults to the subscription screen and won’t let you access the app unless you select one. I paid for the annual subscription and it waited a month before upgrading and I got charged the monthly fee again. So it’s starting to feel a little dodgy. Such a shame because it was a really handy app when it worked properly and I didn’t feel ripped off. **Developer response:** Our apologies, this is a glitch we are working on fixing at the moment. If you can please email support@picketfeds.com, we will set you up with some free access for the inconvenience while we work on it :) xx ### 3/5 — Almost 5 *2023-06-12, version 1.5.8* I really wanted to love this, saved up and all to purchase year. It constantly freezes/ crashes and doesn’t keep me signed in. Notifications also don’t work (had a tech friend see if this was my phones doing but said no). Would easily be 5 stars if these things can be fixed. Please advise if you guys are working on fixing these things. ### 3/5 — Resubscribe request constant *2023-05-25* I use to have this app and deleted it, I’ve recently jumped back on board as were wanting to tighten our finances. I loved the app previously but this time it’s more hassle than it seems worth. Everytime I open the app it asks me to subscribe to an annual or monthly subscription, which I’ve already done and when I reselect that subscription it tells me so. I also wish we had the option to view our luxuries budget in fortnightly increments rather than monthly, like select from a calendar the period we wish to view and work within. Hopefully teething errors as the overall potential is great and I’m excited to be able to use it without the constant start up issues and options to personalise **Developer response:** Hey lovely, Our apologies, this is a glitch we are working on fixing at the moment. If you can please email support@picketfeds.com, we will set you up with some free access for the inconvenience while we work on it :) xx ### 3/5 — confused *2023-01-15, version 1.4.16* i’m unable to even use the app without purchasing a subscription? app looks like it has potential but not letting me use it without buying a subscription. ### 3/5 — Love it but being having issues *2022-11-11, version 1.4.12* I love this app but since signing up for year subscription i’ve been having issues. Cant access my expenses at all. Once i click on it, the page goes grey. Ive tried deleting the app and installing it again and it won’t work. I also dont want to delete the account and having to enter it all back again. ### 4/5 — Very handy :) *2022-11-01* I mainly use this app for the budgeting aspect and I really love most things about it. The one issue I’ve been having is that my salary is different every fortnight. I underestimate as the help screen says to do, but then when I want to add in “extra pay” it copies this amount across to every month and can’t be individually edited. For example if I get paid an extra $250 one fortnight, then another $100 the next, that’s $350 extra I have for luxuries that month (yay!). However this will again be different the following month and if I go back and edit it, it changes my tracker from the previous months and doesn’t save how much I overspent or underspent then. Hope that makes sense. I’ve tried swiping left to track income items individually but this still doesn’t help me as you still can’t edit each individual month tracker. **Developer response:** Hey lovely, If you're using the underestimation method, you're better off adding the extra you're paid into your luxuries as a negative each month. So this will bump up your luxuries only for that month but keep your total income amount the same and as the estimated figure. You can then choose what you'd like to do with the excess luxuries - be it spend it or put it in savings etc :). Feel free to flick me an email or a DM if you have any other questions or would like me to explain it a little bit further with a few screen records! support@picketfeds.com xx ### 4/5 — Great app but buggy *2022-10-21* I really LOVE this app. It makes it so easy to keep everything organised. But the bugs drive me insane. Entering new recipes often takes multiple attempts because when I add a new ingredient, it somehow erases the ingredients I’ve previously entered. Sometimes when I’m tracking expenses, after about five entries, an error pops up saying discard or save (even when you haven’t clicked out of it) and I have to click out of everything. It also takes a while to load sometimes. But other than that, the concept is great and it does make life easier! **Developer response:** Hey lovely, Thanks so much for the review and glad to hear you're loving the app but really sorry about the issues you're having! We are aware of the new recipe addition issue since the latest update and it has been fixed now (pending Apple update). I will have the devs look into the other things you've reported asap. If you'd like to send an email to support@picketfeds.com, I can keep you updated on the progress because I have no method of getting in contact with you through this review xx ### 3/5 — What happened to reminders? *2022-09-18, version 1.4.10* I loved this app and then you updated it 3 days ago and now I can’t find my reminders??? Where did they go why did you remove them? ### 4/5 — Good features *2022-08-04, version 1.3.17* Pretty good app, I already had ways of recording/tracking all the functions but it’s great to have it consolidated. Biggest annoyance is how slow it is to launch, puts me off often and I turn to Notes instead. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2022-03-28, version 1.3.16* This is the app that I need in my life. Unfortunately it’s buggy. Tried numerous times to add dinners to the meals section and they would just disappear. Emu planner seems to be the section that needs te most work. No way of adding your own recipe list to add to the cart. Disappointing. Help is virtually not there. Needs a tutorial when you open the app to show you what it can do but you get nothing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Clunky *2025-07-16* This is very clunky to use. Not intuitive and set out badly. You can’t change days easily with deleting and rewriting. If you can it’s impossible to find out how. ### 1/5 — 60€ par mois et pas de version gratuite… *2025-01-18, version 1.5.24* L’application à l’air jolie mais c’est en la téléchargeant qu’on découvre le prix, 60€ par mois, et il n’y a pas de version gratuite, si on ne paye pas on est bloqués sur l’écran d’accueil, bref une arnaque ### 1/5 — Incorrectly charged *2023-12-27, version 1.5.13* There was an option for a 7 day free trial when I joined, I canceled the subscription within the free trial however was still charged for it. ### 1/5 — Won’t allow access unless you subscribe *2023-07-28, version 1.5.8* I downloaded this app. You can only use it if you subscribe. ### 1/5 — Nothing but a homepage?? *2022-11-14, version 1.4.12* I just downloaded this app super excited, but when I login, there’s only what I’m assuming is the homepage and there’s no other buttons to press aside from logout, terms and conditions and finally the subscription options…are there any free parts to it or do I have to pay/free trial to use this app ?? ### 1/5 — Misleading *2022-11-09, version 1.4.12* Not free, not worth downloading ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-03-28, version 1.3.16* Literally, I’m gonna use the tiktok line : It’s so bad I want to give you a zero but that’s not possible so i give you a one. It lets you log on with a email and pass your FULL name and immediately asks for money otherwise you can’t use it! It’s £3.00 a month aka 36 pound a year! ITS A DEFINITE NO FROM ME! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-05-11, version 1.1.6* You can’t use the app without paying. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-03-13, version 1.1.5* Have removed and re downloaded but non of the buttons work ### 1/5 — So - *2021-02-16, version 1.1.2* I can’t get in because there is the fence thing blocking the ‘sign up’ button, so I can’t get in, I’m really annoyed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing service *2024-08-16* I have recently acquired the complete guide and app, the customer service I have received due to my own errors has been amazing. The app has been so easy to input all me information to start my budgeting and simple to navigate. I was recommended to Picket by a family member and I will definitely be recommending it myself. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-08-30* This app has by far more detail than any other budgeting and organising app I’ve seen. It’s very affordable and the support that comes with it is exemplary. I couldn’t recommend this higher- but better yet it was designed by an absolutely delightful young Australian family who share their lives and organisational tips on social media, sell a guide to budgeting and organising and an extensive guide to buying property and managing your money/income. So happy to have come across all of these user friendly items! **Developer response:** We are so happy to hear you're finding it helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review :) x ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-01-10, version 1.4.16* Has everything I need in one ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2022-09-26, version 1.4.10* Great app to help organize your life and budget accordingly. Also helps with those mind blanks when meal planning ### 5/5 — Love love love *2022-09-26, version 1.4.10* Love the app, new update is great I absolutely love having everything in the same place, helps me stay organised. New recipes are great too ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2022-04-11, version 1.3.16* If I could marry an app, this would be it. Just started using it and it has changed my life. Everything is so much easier to organise, and the budget tool… getting me to face some hard truths about my takeaway consumption 😂 I never leave reviews but this one needed to be done ### 5/5 — This is NOT a FREE app *2022-01-02, version 1.3.7* Only 5-star or else this gets buried but be aware that this app is only free to download NOT FREE TO USE I mean it looked nice in pictures and I’m sure it is but was pointless for me to download it to my phone only to find out that you have to pay to subscribe to be able to access/use any part of the app first :( ### 5/5 — Invented for busy people *2021-11-09* This app is amazing! I originally got it because I was not able to track my money well. Now, I feel like I can really see my money coming in/ going out and it really helps! I also love the option to add tasks and meal ideas!! It’s an overall useful app!!! Highly recommend, especially for someone who has a busy life/lifestyle! ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2021-10-25, version 1.2.4* This app has been such a fantastic tool for helping manage my household and finances. ### 5/5 — Super handy!! *2021-09-16, version 1.2.3* I really love how user friendly this is, also love that the creator is always looking at ways to improve the app. Very great app. Worth every cent ! I can’t wait for the upgrade coming with receipts being put in ! Exciteeeddd 😊🤭 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
