### 1/5 — Datenschutz?!

*2026-08-26*

Die App lief jetzt einige Zeit im Hintergrund und ich muss sagen, sie will recht viel an verschiedene Server telefonieren.
In solch einer App speichere ich lieber keine so sensiblen Daten wie meine Finanzen.

**Developer response:** Different servers? It only calls iCloud and Forex data endpoints. Nothing else. Please do not post reviews which misguide others!

### 1/5 — Sync fails

*2026-04-04*

Stupid app tries to sync my phone’s data with iCloud — without my permission and without any way to cancel it — so the app fails at this point with no alternatives. This problem has existed at least since November 2025 when the first person wrote about it, but the developer apparently doesn’t care to fix it because it’s April 2026 at the time I’m writing this review.

**Developer response:** I have no support request from you. Had you contacted me, I would have told you to reboot the device and try, which fixes the issue. This is not an app issue.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-29*

Freezes in onboarding while syncing found data from iCloud. Ahhhhh, never used the app before, so I don’t have data to sync. Deleting

### 3/5 — Schon gut…

*2024-10-14*

… aber hat es auch verdient, noch nachgebessert zu werden. Die Sprachübersetzung ist nicht glücklich gemacht, denn nur halb übersetzt. Die Überschrift und Schlagworte sind zwar deutsch, der Rest und Texte verbleiben aber in der Originalsprache. Ansonsten scheint es recht flott zu laufen, Start und Optik machen einiges her, schnell und freundliches Design. Aber bedingt durch die mangelhafte Übersetzung muß es wieder vom Mac weichen.  Wenn ich in einer späteren Version von Verbesserungen diesbezüglich höre, versuche ich es gerne erneut. Deshalb hier erst mal nur gut gemeint 3* zumal der Preis ja auch nicht zum niedrigsten Segment gehört.

**Developer response:** Hallo, ich danke Ihnen für Ihre ehrliche und ausführliche Bewertung! Ich höre Sie über die Übersetzungen, etwas, das ständig dank der Rückmeldungen von Benutzern verbessert wird. Ich werde diese in einer der nächsten Versionen korrigieren lassen. Vielen Dank

### 1/5 — Syncs from iCloud forever

*2024-01-12*

It sat overnight, "syncing from iCloud". It never gets around to being usable.

### 5/5 — Great app for tracking expenses and budgeting

*2023-04-18*

Had some issues initially with the app crashing, but the developer is VERY responsive and had the issue resolved in less than 24 hours. The app is aesthetically pleasing to use, having a clean minimalist UI and complimented by powerful core functionality. I will update this review when I have had more of a chance to use it, but initial impressions are great. 5 Stars!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review, I appreciate you taking time to write one. Cheers

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2026.9.3 — 2026-09-17

Improvements
- Widgets update again as soon as you make a change in Pockity, so they are current by the time you return to the Home Screen.
- Pockity no longer repeats a small task five times a second while it is open, which saves battery.
- If a photo can't be added to an entry as an attachment, Pockity now tells you why. Before, nothing happened.

Fixes
- Fixed a crash when you picked an account or category after the entry editor said something was missing, such as "No Account Selected". The details you already entered are now kept, so fixing the missing item and saving works as expected.
- Fixed a crash that could happen when opening an attachment to preview it.
- Fixed a crash that could happen while Settings was open, if Pockity+ purchase information was updating in the background.

### 2026.9.2 — 2026-09-16

Fixes
- Fixed a crash that could happen right after moving a new entry to a different ledger, when that ledger had only just been created.
- Fixed a crash that could happen right after starting a reimbursement entry, when its ledger had not finished loading.
- Entries, accounts, and categories that were deleted or changed on another device no longer crash the app when something opens them before the screen has caught up.

### 2026.9.1 — 2026-09-14

Improvements
- Smart Add Expense now saves a draft in the currency that was actually charged. A message such as "USD 10.62 spent, available limit INR 998" used to land in the wrong currency.
- Smart Add Expense recognises messages for your recurring items. When the amount and currency match and the item's name or card appears in the message, the draft takes the recurring item's title, category, and account, and is linked to it. Nothing is added twice if that day's entry already exists.
- Widgets are now fully translated in all 22 supported languages, including their names, descriptions, and configuration prompts.
- Siri and Shortcuts phrases now work in Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Malay, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
- Dozens of labels that always appeared in English are now translated: the Shortcuts action names such as Smart Add Expense and Check Budget, the Move to Account and Move to Category prompts, the shared ledger messages, the JSON import and export rows, and the receipt scanning progress text.
- Filled in the remaining English leftovers in Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Korean, from account types and settings to the Cash Flow and Biggest Spend card titles.
- After you have saved a few entries, Pockity may ask once whether you would like to rate it. It never asks more than once per version.

Fixes
- Fixed a crash on iOS 27 on the home screen's Cash Flow, Budget Left, and spending chart cards.
- Fixed a crash while merging an imported backup into an existing ledger when a category had sub-categories.
- Fixed placeholders that showed as raw text in Japanese, Korean, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu, such as delete confirmations, date ranges, and "x of y" counts.
- Fixed the German plural for entry counts.
- The receipt-privacy setting now shows in Hindi and Kannada instead of English.

### 2026.9.0 — 2026-09-13

New
- Budget Rings on the Categories screen. Each card shows a ring that fills as you use your weekly or monthly budget, with what is left and the days remaining. It turns red when you go over. Turn it on from the ••• menu.
- Create, rename, recolor, and delete tags right in the entry editor. Tap the Tags row, then use + or press and hold a tag.
- Press and hold a Recurring card to edit it, add an entry from it, or delete it. You can now also change its title, amount, currency, category, account, and place.
- Scan or attach a receipt straight from an entry's details sheet.
- Ask for your expenses in your own words. Natural language search now works with Siri and Spotlight.
- 13 more languages: Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Malay, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
- A new app icon.

Improvements
- Redesigned home screen cards. Budget Left shifts from blue to orange as your spending runs ahead of the month, Income fills as you near your target, Cash Flow reads like a ledger, and Upcoming leads with when your next bill is due.
- Cards no longer vanish on a quiet week. They show a calm "Nothing due soon" or "All caught up" instead.
- Sizes, spacing, and cards now scale with your text size, so layouts stay balanced whether you read big or small.
- A refreshed entry editor, with softer cards, a bigger amount field, and smooth transitions between Expense, Transfer, and Income.
- Receipt scanning is faster and more reliable, and now uses Private Cloud Compute first when it is available.
- Smart Add Expense suggests a category for each draft.
- Search finds more relevant matches, and shows a "Searching…" indicator while it works.
- Siri can tell an expense, a transfer, and a reimbursement apart when you refer to one on screen.
- Recurring expenses, notifications, and currency rates now run more reliably around app launch.
- VoiceOver reads the Budget Left and Cash Flow cards as one clear sentence.

Fixes
- Totals such as "Spent Today", in the app and on your widgets, could stay at an older figure after you added an expense or after a change synced in. They now update as soon as the change arrives.
- Smart Add Expense drafts landed in the early hours of the morning. Each draft now uses the time from the message, in your own time zone.
- Fixed crashes when you opened a reimbursement or transfer to edit it, and when you chose an account or category right after you moved a new entry to another ledger.
- Fixed a recurring expense being added twice when it came due while another device was syncing.
- Fixed contact details missing or wrong on entries in shared ledgers.
- Fixed the keyboard closing when you switched between Expense, Transfer, and Income.
- Fixed the wrong "Total available" in the entry editor, and content that collided with its buttons.
- Fixed Smart Add missing a currency, cutting short a place typed after "@", dropping words from a title, and ignoring what you typed right after you opened New Entry.
- Fixed New Entry refusing to save with a title error, and "Save" on the discard prompt doing nothing when no amount was entered.
- Fixed garbled PDF thumbnails, and multi-page PDFs losing every page after the first.

### 2026.7.5 — 2026-07-13

- Added a "Reset Sync" context menu option to the sync status titlebar for users stuck on syncing.
- Improved logging for iCloud sync related errors.
