### 2/5 — Can’t connect accounts

*2026-02-17, version 3.3.9*

The accounts say they’re connected from the bank’s side, but they don’t show up. There’s no way to fix it. I’ve created an entirely new account—same results. I want this to work. It just DOESN’T.

### 2/5 — Cannot connect chase cards

*2026-02-14, version 3.3.9*

This app used to be nice but at some point now none of my credit cards will connect. In particular, Chase Bank is no longer an option to connect for a bank whatsoever. given that Chase is the issue are for several Rewards credit cards this means I can’t connect my United or my sapphire or cards. As a result, the app is now useless - it poorly tracks points from Airlines which I normally do manually myself anyway and offers up a bunch articles that are mostly ads.

I did like the feature that let me see which card was best for transactions, so if the ability to connect to Chase returns, this would dramatically change my rating

### 1/5 — Why is it still broken?

*2026-02-08, version 3.3.9*

The year is 2026. Technology is very advanced. We even have AI. How is it that this app is still broken for months?  Read the reviews. Read people’s comments. So much potential and so little improvement.

### 3/5 — Rather buggy atm

*2026-02-05, version 3.3.9*

I’d love to update my rewards balance, maybe if the button would work I could.

### 1/5 — Account gone

*2026-02-05, version 3.3.9*

I went back to the app after not opening for 6-8 months and my account is completely gone. I thought no big deal, it’s easy enough to reset up my credit cards but now the app isn’t responsive when adding any new account.  I’ve hit a dead end and it’s frustrating cuz I used to really like the app.

### 3/5 — What happened? Will you ever fix it?

*2026-01-10, version 3.3.9*

Like others, my app is no longer working. I cannot add cards and many pages go to a blank screen. Super disappointing.

### 1/5 — could not sync anything

*2025-12-21, version 3.3.9*

Bank failed to sync. Rewards programs failed to sync. Gave up after an hour.

### 1/5 — Nevermind

*2025-12-14, version 3.3.9*

Reviews are horrible and all I see are "we are sorry", going to another points app.

### 1/5 — Broken for far too long

*2025-12-09, version 3.3.9*

This was a nice app, especially for keeping track of my points.

Personal points tracking hasn’t worked for most of 2025. 

But the app still has allll my data for all the credit card point programs. So they get my personal financial data, but don’t give anything in return.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-11-18, version 3.3.9*

Took multiple tries to login using my apple account, in the end I had to use the Facebook login, dash board does not load. When adding a card or loyalty program the app does not load anything. App might need a full redesign
