Why is this app breaking? ### 3/5 — lost all my information *2026-07-10, version 6.6.5* With the New Update I lost all my information and previous inputs. That a total bummer! Really disappointed ### 3/5 — Ridiculously slow *2026-06-26, version 6.6.5* Loved the app for years but since last update it is ridiculously slow. Takes at least 30 secs to move from one transaction to the next. Some bug fixes required I think. ### 4/5 — Loved it but data was deleted *2026-06-25, version 6.6.5* I had an issue with my data being deleted, as others have noted with the recent update, but the data has now been restored. I am updating my review to four stars because I have used and loved this app for many years, but I still say beware. It might be a good idea to back up your data somewhere (they allow you to export data in excel sheets). ### 3/5 — Best app for personal or business *2026-06-17, version 6.6.5* I tried many apps to monitor my expense but nothing like this app ,my advice to you just use this app ...! This was my review before But now if I want to write a transaction I have to wait or turn again because it getting freezing all time Please update it and develop it better ### 3/5 — Data loss with latest update *2026-06-11, version 6.6.5* The app was updated last week and the data loss occurred. I have been seeing this from past few updates consistently. The app is great and would be better if this can be avoided ### 2/5 — Latest update restored data but.. *2026-03-09, version 6.6.4* The latest update restored my data. I was really happy to see 10 years of data restored. As I was entering my expenses from the last 2 months I noticed another bug, the window to enter the amount is not complete. The “0” “.” And enter is not visible, which makes this version totally useless. Hopefully this gets fixed soon ### 3/5 — Not as good as it used to be *2026-03-08, version 6.6.4* This is my go to and I’m Worried it is going to crash and all my bills are organized on thee app for the last ten years ### 2/5 — What’s happened… *2026-02-24, version 6.6.4* I’ve been happily using this app for a number of years without any problems. Since the last update everything has gone strangely wrong and is no longer accurate. My balances have changed and I can’t see where the problem is.. ### 1/5 — All data lost. *2026-02-23, version 6.6.4* A decade of data lost in a single update. No response from customer service. Try at your own risk. I’m switching to excel. ### 1/5 — So sad *2026-02-13, version 6.6.4* I have recently been asked to update and lost all of my information - years of banking. Please help me. ### 1/5 — Avoid this app - All data lost *2026-02-13, version 6.6.4* Updated the app and now 7 years of my accounting data has been lost. No data was synced over to the updated version, I’ve contacted app/technical support but they’re not very helpful or able to advise of any possible solutions in recovering my data. If you value your data please avoid this app and look for better alternative, I wish I had. This has been an extremely stressful situation which shouldn’t have occurred in the first place if the Pocket Expense app functioned as it was intended. ### 1/5 — Lost all data, useless customer support *2026-02-08* I have been using this app religiously for the past 6 years, to manage my budget and capital on all my different accounts. Then i updated my iphone to ios26 and all the account numbers have changed! The app has become unusable and all my history was lost! Contacted support and while they “promised” to be prioritizing the issues, 3 weeks later no news. So disappointed to have to delete the app and lose 6 years of daily records. I also have the premium lifetime subscription. All lost! Do not invest your time in this app! ### 1/5 — Worst “update” ever *2026-02-05, version 6.6.4* Again part 21 🫠. Almost no update without drama or loss of data. ### 1/5 — Didn’t save anything!!! *2026-02-03, version 6.6.3* I’m sooooo frustrated that this app did not save my expense info TWICE when I had to move data’s on iPhones! What the hell??!!! It’s so frustrating. I need the info for my taxes later. Now I have to do things the hard way and find all my expenses again. Thanks a lot. I’m using a different app from now on. USELESS. ### 1/5 — Lost data *2026-01-29, version 6.6.3* Recent update caused me to lose data. I’ve been using this app for 6 years and now all My data is messed up. Please help!!! Update now the app keeps crashing on me. Please help fix! ### 1/5 — 🚨 !!!!SCAM!!!! 🚨 *2026-01-19, version 6.6.3* This app is scam. There is no support and if you lose data there is no chance to recover. AVOID!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This App Has Made The Wrong Changes *2026-08-06, version 6.6.5* 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. ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2026-07-29, version 6.6.5* App would be great if I didn’t have to shut it down every 2 seconds because of annoying ads ### 1/5 — Great idea, but… *2026-07-29, version 6.6.5* 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. ### 1/5 — I bought lifetime but they keep taking it away! *2026-07-17, version 6.6.5* 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!!! ### 1/5 — Glitchy & Slow *2026-07-03, version 6.6.5* App used to be decent and worked well. Now it constantly freezes and double counts bills giving you bad information that you have go through to find when it counts twice. It doesn’t restore well from backups and loses a lot of data when restoring from backups when changing phones. ### 1/5 — Online Syncing Destroyed the App *2026-06-24, version 6.6.5* 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 optiont 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. ### 1/5 — 9 years of Data Wiped by Update / No Support Reply *2026-06-19, version 6.6.5* Be aware!!!!! Do not install the latest update!!!! I really do enjoy this app and have been using it faithfully since 2017. After the wipeout, 2 emails have been sent, but no response yet. * I will update this review if the support team helps me recover the history ### 1/5 — Data Disappeared *2026-04-19, version 6.6.4* Have been using this app for years and suddenly all recent data was lost! ### 1/5 — Crashes every time I use it. *2026-02-27, version 6.6.4* As many others already noted, I lost years worth of data last year. Because I want to keep an eye on my checking and savings accounts, I decided to keep using Pocket Expense and just did a balancing adjustment to start fresh. I haven’t lost all my data yet (fingers crossed), but the app crashes after every entry I make. I make an entry, wait for it to clear, scroll up, and it crashes. I then open the app again to make a new entry and wait for it to crash again. Thankfully it accepts the entries, but I have to wait for the crash after every single entry. It is becoming unusable, and I may finally move on even though I purchased the lifetime subscription. ### 1/5 — Update needs work *2026-02-25, version 6.6.4* Loved this app before the update - freezes, tap icons are slow, and crashes. I even emailed the developer about it and did not receive a reply. Actively looking for a new app at this point unless a fix is made soon. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple & Powerful *2026-07-21* 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. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2026-03-18* However facing issues.. when opening the app says its update your data and please don’t leave.. and then it’s stuck at 98%… doesn’t get beyond that.. hope the issue will be resolved soon. Even closing and opening or even switching off the phone doesn’t change this.. sync doesn’t work ### 5/5 — Great app; despite Dec scare *2026-02-03, version 6.6.3* People commenting Dec 2025 about the app deleting years of data following an update are correct. However, developers fixed it and got data back. I’ve used the app for years, it’s really great. ### 5/5 — newest update broke the app *2026-01-14, version 6.6.3* UPDATE 1/14: deleted the app, kept the data, reinstalled the app, and logged back in and my data is back! nothing works and stopped at 98%. and deleting and reinstalling the app gets it to 96% before stalling. ### 5/5 — Repaired *2025-12-19, version 6.6.3* Thank you for fixing the app! After a few weeks of down time, the developer has fixed it. Highly recommend this app - been using it for years now! ### 5/5 — Looks like the 98% bug is now fixed! *2025-12-17, version 6.6.3* Good stuff! ### 5/5 — Possible 98% fix *2025-12-17, version 6.6.3* Myself, like so many others, we’re stuck on the “Syncing your data. Please don’t leave screen only for it to get stuck at 98%. And rendering the app unusable. Here’s what fixed my issue. Settings>General>iPhone Storage and selected the Expense app. Then I clicked Offload App. It keeps your data, but removes the app. Then I reinstalled it while on the same screen by selecting Reinstall App. Opened the app and everything was there. When I initially opened the app, I got the Syncing screen again. But it quickly cleared and everything is working great. ### 5/5 — Data restored *2025-12-17, version 6.6.3* All my data is back after the update, thanks for the fixes! ### 5/5 — Working again *2025-12-17, version 6.6.3* App was stuck at 98% after last update but it’s back working again. Thanks for fixing it ### 5/5 — Recent update full of bugs *2025-12-15, version 6.6.2* Generally a 5⭐️ app for me, and one I use so often that it made sense to get the paid version. However, the recent update is absolute trash. Buttons don’t work on tap, interface freezes, and somehow my account balances are not what they used to be (or I’ve made a massive mistake somewhere 😳). I’m looking forward to an update for the update. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
