Slow, freezes
The solution seeker
I have been using this app for a while now. Then I decided to upgrade to the subscription. At that moment the app begun to freeze, Unable to work on it for days. Useless unfortunately because I think this could be a great app. Customer service not useful at all. Been asking for help over a week now and no real resolution has even made available to me
Finally Got My Finances Under Control!!
--Limitless--
I’ve tried dozens of apps to get my family finances under control, and this one finally worked. My wife and I love it! We’ve been using the free version for about 3 weeks, and we’ve already managed to cut over $500 in spending that we didn’t need. And we’re finally feeling like our finances are getting under control. To the developers — thank you so much for making this app!
Great app - with some bank issues
lillyandmillie
I think this app is great overall. Compared to other budgeting tools this is the best one I’ve used. I would even consider upgrading to the subscription, but I have serious problems with how it connects to my bank. My bank requires MFA to connect and so I am constantly needing to re-authorize in order to link the account. First, the notifications are annoying because I’m reminded of the issue multiple times a day. Second, I never had this issue when I was using Mint or another app for budgeting. I don’t know if this is a bug, but this is very frustrating because I like the app a lot in every other aspect. I think MFA is important, but I would rather have to do that to log into the app, and not have that be the cause of not syncing between the app and my bank.
Would be great, if it worked.

A simple and easy to use app to make it easy to manage my money? Sounds too good to be true. Yet I decided to give this app a try. And at first it was working great! Then all of a sudden, it stopped syncing data from both of my bank accounts. I’ve tried to get it working, but I keep getting an error message. If this can’t be fixed soon, I’ll have to delete the app and look for something else.
Potential but expensive
DelsusX
Way too expensive for this tool/app. Big paywalls and no way to see what actual benefit these added tools bring behind the wall. I can get other subs for way less and your competition will crush you. Wish it was different but I won’t be the sucker paying these fees to help manage my finances. Very ironic.
Unknown product identifier

It has some cool features. Especially ones that I need to pay for. But I can’t because it complains of unknown product identifier. So basically it’s useless.
Good, but some hiccups
Mr. Wright's Wife
This app is great to help with budgeting and seeing the bottom line on the amount of money you have across accounts. Everything was working great except after a few days some accounts repeatedly aren’t syncing or are behind several days. Otherwise it’s a great setup and easy to use, but accuracy is lost with accounts not syncing right.
Need Help ?

This app looks like exactly what I want out of a budget tracker (I need that ‘ACTUAL money available after bills’ snapshot in my face so I don’t forget what I actually have to spend, not just what my account balance is) But it’s getting stuck when I try to link my bank account! ? I can search my bank, it comes up and I login in and then it’s forever loading. I want this to work I’ve been scouring other apps and nothing seems like it will help me that’s a free app. ? Customer service perhaps? Help!
It had so much potential…

What attracted me to this app was that it would tell you how much money you have left over after all your expenses were paid. I had hoped this would be the one and only budgeting app I would ever need. Well where do I start? First off, while it automatically updates my chase bank info, it doesn’t automatically update my Navy FCU. I have request a code, then wait for this app to let me enter the code which takes at least a minute. Once it has the code then it takes about 20 seconds or more to update. All other apps continue to sync whereas PocketGuard gets amnesia. This is a big fail which the company really needs to work on. The second issue I have is the app predicting how much and when my next paycheck will be. I get paid by the law firm on the 15th and 30th of every month but if the day falls on a weekend then I’m paid on the Friday or Monday. You can’t program the app to adjust for this. Second, hours paid changes depending how many days are in a month. I.E. 30 vs 31st vs 28. While my hours are consistent, the payout varies according to the calendar. Simply put, some pay periods have one extra day or less a day or even. This app doesn’t account for those variations or allow to to program that algorithm. In comparison to Mint, Experian, NerdWallet, and WalletHub, PocketGuard ranks in the bottom of my list. So far down the list in that when I’m done with this review, I will delete it and not recommend it to anyone.
