### 1/5 — Upgrade phone and now cannot get data or support

*2022-03-24, version 6.1.4*

I recently upgraded my phone.  When I opened the app on the new phone I am presented a login screen.  My old phone did not come up with a login screen.  The login screen has no selection for forgot email or password.  

I figured I would contact support via email to get some assistance.  The support email bounced as the email address appears to no longer be valid.  

I have a few years of entered data that I currently cannot access.  Cannot log in, cannot get support, cannot get to my data.  Ugh!

Hopefully they contact me and help me get my data at which time I would update my recurve.  Ideally they also fix their support email address.

### 2/5 — Only cosmetic changes

*2021-12-06, version 6.1.4*

The recent cosmetic update is not making the app better... I still prefer the older version. These recent changes are really not necessary, i am still not used to it and am sad that some useful functions and reporting are gone! I think the developers should make the data more transparent and include easy to use and clear back up function

### 3/5 — Totally disappointed

*2021-12-05, version 6.1.4*

I have been using this app for 4+ years today i log out my account and try logging back in and I am not getting through. Could someone tell me how to tell with this? I just don’t believe i lost all my data

### 1/5 — Great app but..

*2021-03-24, version 6.1.4*

I’ve been using this app for 5 years, all my transactions, budgets, every financial plan is recorded. I never had any issue with this app before but recently I moved to new iPhone and this app asked me to sign in which I did, I’m not able to login to the app, saying that the server is not found, don’t have an option to reset the password or don’t have contact details for app. Common seriously the developers don’t respond, BHI technology don’t respond, should I lose my years worth of data!! That’s annoying atleast I’d be happy to retrieve the data. 

Moving to better app!!

### 3/5 — Great app but not working on iOS 14.x

*2021-01-15, version 6.1.4*

This app for served me for many years! Recently since I updated my phone to iOS 14.x, the app gives me “the network connection was lost” error when trying to login. I tried sending email to their support team but no response. Please try fixing this, I’ve very important transaction data I lost access to...

### 3/5 — Why not answering?

*2020-10-12, version 6.1.4*

I used the app. and it was working perfect, but after I changed my phone, I was surprised that I can’t not log in, and also I can’t create a new account and all my records and expenses disappeared, I tried to contact customer service to inquire, but they don’t respond to me as if they are ignoring me

### 1/5 — No Longer Great!

*2020-07-29, version 6.1.4*

I’ve been using this for over 7 years. Everything works great and I was able to sync and transfer data across all my phone upgrades. I just restored my phone yesterday and when I tried to login, it says there’s no account associated with my email! 

Tried using Twitter and FB Messenger to contact them since their site doesn’t have their contact info. No help at all!

Years of data ALL LOST!

### 1/5 — App developers, are you there???

*2020-07-11, version 6.1.4*

We have used this app for 5 years with, you guessed it, 5 years of financial data stored in your app. Now it all of the sudden doesn’t recognize my account and says server not found. I looked at your new app, but it does not recognize me either. So I’m just supposed to LOSE 5 years worth of data? I backed it up to a PDF (I did so periodically because I’m not a moron) and obviously have access to it in the original accounts, but why did I pay for this app if you simply abandon your customers??? No response with email and I have no idea how/who else to contact. I want to continue using this app, but I especially want to regain access to my 5 years of financial data!

### 2/5 — Best Budget App, But...

*2020-01-05, version 6.1.4*

Current edit - No syncing and password reset does not work - so good luck when upgrading devices. Seems the developers aren’t interested in longevity or customer support. Searching for a new app. Extremely disappointed after using it for a long time.

PREVIOUS - I have used Pocket Expense Pro for over 6 years. It’s intuitive, has everything for budget tracking you need, and has a good interface, without all the extra nonsense. I tried some of the other apps before the developer fixed the syncing issues, and could not find another app that was satisfactory in creating a budget, able to manage multiple accounts, and was customizable to fit a common sense approach to budgeting. You can set a budget, track all your accounts, transfer money between budget areas and accounts as needed. This app was essential for me in getting my finances straight, and staying on track for over 6 years. The developer seems to have fixed any outstanding issues that arose in the spring of 2018. I have no trouble syncing with multiple devices. Get it, use it, get your house in order!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync & it’s buggy

*2019-12-17, version 6.1.4*

Exactly what the title says: this app didn’t sync my expense history. Just upgraded my phone in December 2019 and found out that the files backed up was only up to September 2017! That’s over 2 years worth of data is gone!! I always had the “Auto Sync” feature On, but somehow it still didn’t do a complete backup. Very disappointing especially when you have paid the full price of this app! And don’t let me get started with the developer... their customer service is no where to be found! So if you need a budgeting app to take care your finances and you don’t need syncing option nor customer service, then this is the app. If you need the last two mentioned, then you may need to look somewhere else because when these “glitches” happen, you’re the one at loss. Also there are bugs on the app too! Even after selected a “Default account” and “Default category” the app would still selected something else on its own; and it would change from time to time. Very odd!
