### 3/5 — Great App

*2024-09-21, version 5.6.1*

This is a great app and been using it for years now. I was relying on it for all my financial plannings and visibility. But lately due to not being able to pull data from Capitec, it’s becoming difficult to open this app as its not longer accurate for me.

### 3/5 — New update is awful

*2023-04-28, version 5.0.1*

Loves this app so much until the new update, its no longer easy to use, its uglier, login is more tedious,it is definitely not an upgrade.

### 3/5 — New Update great but some steps in wrong direction

*2020-11-25, version 3.0.2*

The new update is a welcome improvement but the removed gestures and replaced it with a way out there back button

It was fast swiping between months and swiping back on transactions and categories etc now it’s all hard tap actions which too all the intuitiveness the app had away

### 4/5 — Potential 5 star but it needs a little bit more..

*2019-11-03, version 2.10.14*

I love the app, it’s come a long way and it’s got even more potential.

Their Nudge feature needs to be more prominent and if it could render charts based off your habits it would give some nice insights into your lifestyle.

Another nice feature would be to give you “nudges” when you’re about to buy a coffee or fast food and instead prompts you to put that spend away into the savings instead. If you make it easy to do those things it would be a game changer.

### 3/5 — Amazing app, but no iPad support...

*2019-04-01, version 2.10.1*

It’s a lovely app that would normally get a 5 star review from me, but without iPad support (over 5 years since this app launched!) i’m sadly giving it a 3-star review until iPad support launches,

### 5/5 — I’m blown away

*2018-11-14, version 2.8.35*

What a great app. I’m still learning to use it. But so far, it’s fluid, seems well thought out, user friendly... makes these tough money matters enjoyable to navigate. And it’s just perfect timing for me personally. Well done. I’ll be recommending to everyone I know. 😃😃

### 5/5 — Best South African App!

*2018-09-04, version 2.8.35*

Best South African app period! Completely change the way you think about money with this app and the best part of it is that it's free!

### 5/5 — One of my top 5 most used apps

*2018-07-20, version 2.8.33*

I remember the skepticism that this app was greeted with when it first came out, by users, the banks and even some in the press. And it was all to do with the fact that you have to login to financial institutions within the app, thus the fear that info this would be misused by the developer. Well, it’s a few years on and not one data breach via this app and/or site. I just wanted to express my gratitude to the team that seems to work tirelessly to ensure that we as its users have all the support we need. My only gripe would be that there’s yet to be an iPad-compatible version of the app. But otherwise, onwards and upwards!

### 5/5 — 22Seven Brilliance

*2018-04-19, version 2.8.27*

Awesome budgeting tool. Love the way I get to see expenditure to the cent! Well done!

### 5/5 — Amazing insight into my finances

*2016-11-29, version 2.8.12*

This app is superb. It picked up when I was double charged - saved me money, and has amazing insight into my spending habits. The support team is the best in SA, hands down. Love it.

### 2/5 — Updated app won't even launch.

*2016-11-17, version 2.8.11*

Since the update, the app just opens and immediately crashes.

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2016-01-12, version 2.7.3*

It's one of my favorite apps to use. It let's me keep track of all my financial accounts in such a detailed manner. 
22seven is a Godsend! 👍🏾👌🏾😊

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2015-11-20, version 2.6.5*

Brilliant and easy to use. Perfect budget tool

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2015-09-21, version 2.6.3*

Every time an update comes out the settings get wiped. That means I need to sign in again, set up TouchID etc.

Either keep the existing config between upgrades or integrate with 1Password in the login dialog. Many other apps are doing so.

### 1/5 — Simply not working anymore

*2025-03-24, version 6.4.1*

Getting worse and worse

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2024-11-02*

I can’t login. I’ve tried resetting my password. This new brand is off to a terrible start.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Sorry to hear that all isn't working as it should. Please reach out to support@vault22.io so that we can get cracking on this issue.

### 1/5 — Worst update

*2023-04-22*

I think the new update is not nice.
Design is not iOS, it’s too congested and font is terrible. It’s also too buggy. Some functionalities that were on the old design are no longer available here on the new design. Ill prefer the old one than this one. I wish I can go back.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We are grateful you took the time to leave us some feedback. If you would like to set up a chat with the product team to chat in further detail, you can email thesvens@22seven.com

### 1/5 — What the hell is going on now?

*2015-11-06, version 2.6.5*

What’s up with the new feature? It is so confusing. Please bring back the money in and out bars. What are you guys smoking over there?

### 1/5 — This app does not work!!

*2015-07-12, version 2.6.0*

Tried linking accounts, does not work!

### 1/5 — Seriously

*2013-12-29, version 1.4*

So we must just trust the developer with our bank login!?!?! No thanks.

### 1/5 — Pay to save! What?

*2013-12-22, version 1.4*

Not a bad app, but at $2.99 per month a waste of time. There are better once off apps. Old Mutual ripping off its customers again.

### 1/5 — Crash :(

*2013-09-01, version 1.3*

Can't login just crashes

### 2/5 — Great Service - Bad App

*2020-01-19*

I love 22 Seven. But unfortunately have to use most of the services on the website. 

Over time this app became pretty much useless. It cannot updates accounts that requires OTP reliably and crashes often. 

Also, it is very slow to analyse anything and applying filters take an age to apply. 

Stick to the website, the app is frustrating. 

22Seven says that they are working on a new app, but that is now more than 2 years coming, so don’t hold your breath.

### 2/5 — Good app can't cover for a bad service

*2019-02-21, version 2.9.2*

The 22.7 service is buggy and that just makes the app look buggy too.

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2024-12-11, version 6.0.3*

I’ve had a look at many of the international budgeting apps and nothing compares! I love the user friendly interface and being able to categorize my expenses, it makes budgeting so easy.

### 5/5 — Game changer for your finances!

*2022-07-19*

This app is brilliant and actually life changing in terms of clearly seeing where your money is going and helping stick to your budget.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this great review!

### 5/5 — A great app (and service) that’s continually improving

*2022-07-13, version 3.6.6*

I use 22Seven daily and don’t honestly know how I’d get along without it. The app isn’t perfect but it’s very, very good and getting gradually better all the time. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Brilliant and easy

*2022-04-17, version 3.6.5*

I’ve been using this app since 2015 and I look at it everyday. It quickly became my ‘go to’ for checking account balances, transactions and budgets.
 I’ve never had any security breach with regards to linking my bank accounts. The app is completely safe. I can hardly believe it’s free. 

There is no better way to track spending of small amounts and things like bank fees and charges and what you’re paying in interest if you have debt. It’s a great motivator to reduce debt when you can see exactly what the interest is costing you. 

You can even create your own categories if need and break them down any way you want to. 
This app shows me what my real spending and saving actually looks like. I couldn’t live without it.

### 5/5 — From 20Twenty to 22Seven

*2021-08-28, version 3.5.9*

Back in 2001 when I got my 20Twenty card delivered in the most amazing packaging from a company that delivered exquisite service & respect, I didn’t even know that I would never have a problem with the card or miscellaneous hidden charges right up until they closed down. Now, the creators of that brilliant pre-Facebook era online card company ask me to let them use technology to evaluate my spending habits & automagically classify my expenses and watch for double-charges as well as see all my wealth across banks in one spot… there is really no way I can say no.

### 5/5 — Financially irresponsible not to have this

*2020-08-30, version 2.10.22*

I thought I was organized with my budget in excel but the level of financial visibility this app gives you is incredibly useful. My credit cards are actually going down now and I can’t imagine not using 22Seven at this point.

### 5/5 — Fuz

*2020-04-14, version 2.10.20*

Budget
Cut spending
Know exactly where your money is going.

### 5/5 — Great way to track your budget

*2019-07-12, version 2.10.7*

Good support for multiple banks, and also reward programmes, investments and loyalty cards. App is fast and fun to use, with essentially the same functionality as the website

### 5/5 — It works.

*2019-04-26*

This app works seemlessly. It is great money management tool.  It is safe and secure. It is even better than world class. I live overseas and this is not available for the local banks in the country I live in. South Africans are lucky to have this.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2019-03-21, version 2.10.0*

Completely amazed by how user friendly and brilliant this is
