Horrible update
I’ve been using Wally for a few years now and have appreciated it, until now! With the update I don’t think I lost transactions, but I did loose all of my notes in the transactions. I actually used those & referred to some of them monthly. I now only have my prior merchants A-B. All of the others are gone. I have to “add” a merchant almost every time because it doesn’t remember the “new” merchants I add. I’m not sure how many Safeway merchants have been added. I don’t want to add my bank accounts, I want to track my individual expenditures monthly. I can log into my bank accounts to see my balances. I also don’t trust the AI to not track me, not keep my bank info, ect. If you check the reviews, the only good ones are from years ago. I’m having problems similar to those who have written recent reviews. I don’t find any of the “update” notes to be true. At this point the app seems to be ruined.

Small app that used to be useful
I use this app to track my kids’ expenses and credits. For awhile it was a blast, and it was a huge improvement over a spreadsheet I was using. But over time the app has been changed so much and then went from small handy app to something else. The features that I use became less accessible, as the developer shifts visual elements around, and now the balance, the thing I need the most, is way lower on the list than ChatGPT (that I can not care less about), so as the product I like it as it was two years ago, not as it is now. It is still free and somewhat useful, but this morning I entered two transactions and they did not registered, which moved it to a category of app I will not use

Ongoing bugs and looks like things just got worse.
So, I’ve been using this app for about 3 years now and it seems the more the app had updates the more bugs I faced, however I’m at a breaking point with the most recent update. Seeing a new welcome screen and an entire remodel of the app would’ve made me think the Wally team finally squashed most of the bugs I faced, and yeah, there’s a smoother session. HOWEVER, upon re logging back in, somehow all of my information never loaded as if there was a gap in the data from a time period im unaware of. On top of that, the annoyance of being logged back out every other session is a nuisance. Now the worst thing? The fact the new update is so confusing. I can’t easily select my sub category without fighting with the menus and I used to have the default payment method up, now it resets to one I rarely use each time. But the fact I had transactions reappear that I deleted months ago is also confusing. This is how I’ve chosen to budget but I can’t keep going this route if the app is going to be an inconvenience .

Major flaws
I loved this app in the beginning as it was so great to see all my accounts in one place and set my budgets. BUT, the app is tracking each pending payment and then again when it hits, meaning my budget gets hit twice! It’s really flawed, and totally defeats the purpose of using this app. It also tracks every little 1 aed verification transaction. On top of that, it keeps getting locked out of my HSBC account and doesn’t pick up my HSBC credit cards - only my bank accounts. I have sent in feedback over the last couple of months, and never got a response. Disappointing as I see the potential!

Needs a lot more improvement
So the app does what it says.
However, it constantly has an issue with the connection to your bank (I had synced to Emirates NBD in UAE) you need to keep reconnecting every once in a while.
Been using it for about 4 months and given the constant need to reconnect, your tracking is not up to date as expected. Furthermore, when it syncs your accounts it always has a 3 day lag. Ie: what you spent today will appear on the tracker 3 days later.
Can’t say I would recommend this app
