App went downhill

So I have used this app for over 12 years recording every transaction across dozens of accounts so I have a lot of data, like 12,000 records. There was an update some time back that ever since has created problems. The app lost all the data, then it was fixed mostly. Now every once in awhile it breaks again where a bunch of stuff gets messed up causing me to have to spend time going through and fixing all historical transactions it messed up, thankfully I have duplicated transactions in excel but it’s manual time and effort only for it to break again! Not only that, but it’s gotten very sluggish when trying to do anything. What happened to this app? It used to be great and I purchased the lifetime premium but now it’s nearly unusable and I’m afraid I’ll have to start over somewhere else. App updates are also rare, like maybe once a year if that. Anyways the app use to be 5 stars a few years ago now it’s not. Hope somebody wakes up soon to fix it

Data lost

Been using since 2017, now that the app is updated, i lost my data for the past 4 months it just disappeared. I contacted the email several times but no response at all. They dont have any socmed too :( please help

Lagging recently

I’ve used this app for years also and is the hub of all my budgeting. However, recently it has been lagging a lot. I often have to close and reopen it in order to use it, or wait for 10-15 seconds or so for it to catch up. Is it because I have too much data or just needs updating?

Online Syncing Destroyed the App

The online/data connection required is ruining the app. Constant bugs and performance issues due to poor syncing and terrible data ingestion/server management.
To fix this app it NEEDS an option to go back to fully LOCAL / OFFLINE data. The syncing totally breaks and resets all my bills with old bills, resets any edited items, un-clears thousands of items. It also makes the app unbearably laggy, which was not an issue before when it fully used local data.

It seems like it usually happens when you open the app with a shoddy connection. But not consistently. Pure garbage and felt like the online features just randomly slop-coded in.

Deleted Info

Definitely issues related to deleted information after updates. Have not received a response from the support team yet

Quality decline

I’ve used this app for years and recently it has started lagging to the point where I can’t even use it. Pretty bummed as this has been my financial tracking go to for awhile.

Lost 3 years of data after update

After updating the application today, I suffered a catastrophic data loss and have lost all my records from the past three years. My data history now abruptly cuts off on November 8, 2023. I am completely devastated and distressed by this situation, as these records are extremely important to me. Please help me restore all my missing data as soon as possible.

Lots of Data Gone

When I click on the application it’s freezes then kicks me out. So many years of information gone! I have also moved on to different app.

Deletes info

I've used for years and all of a sudden it is deleting all kinds of data. Has happen twice already. Complete waste of time!

Lost everything

Did the update and everything I had saved and tracked for years is gone now. Do not update. Do not download.

Recently Lagging

I have purchased the lifetime subscription and I have been using this for years but it has been lagging and crashing so frequently this year. Please fix this as soon as possible thank you

Degrading over time

Been using this app for a couple of years, mostly happily for basic recording of transactions, but not necessarily balancing all my accounts, etc. However, recently whenever I open the app and try to type in values or notes it’s very slow and will take 10 seconds to process a word I type. Why is this app breaking?

This App Has Made The Wrong Changes

I have religiously used this app for over 10 years. I built my financial life around it. It used to be amazing, but something changed.

The amount of adds (some even stating my phone has a virus) has gotten out of hand. There are also new glitches appearing. Today is August 6th 2026, when I logged onto my app I now have a mile long list of past due bills from 2023. This happens every few months. I thought they would address it but they haven’t. My favorite app is now a nuisance and will likely be deleted.

Used to be good

APP keeps on crashing and shutting itself down

Annoying ads

App would be great if I didn’t have to shut it down every 2 seconds because of annoying ads

Great idea, but…

I loved the app. It is simple to use and kept me on track with my money but this is the second time that an update has deleted my history of transactions. The first time it happened, I was told that there is no fix but that it won’t happen again. Well it happened again. Sorry but there’s better options.

Simple & Powerful

I am using this app for many years and it almost fulfil all my requirement. A great app with friendly UI and easy to use. What I am missing is multiple currency option for additional accounts. Its a must needed feature and the developers should work on this to make this app complete.

I bought lifetime but they keep taking it away!

I bought lifetime, why do you keep taking it away when you update the app! Please help, it’s a good app if they would stop taking away my lifetime that I bought!!!

lost all my information

With the New Update I lost all my information and previous inputs. That a total bummer! Really disappointed
