New version fails to download transactions
YouTellMeWhatNickname
Looks like they’ve made this basic free version really bad to pressure users into the paid model. Problem is the user experience is so bad as a result I’m tempted to delete the app completely. All the things I found useful from the old app gone. This is a Fail. Paid model would make more sense if the functionality was truly something I could test and then additional payment would be if I wanted to add more than 2 or 3 accounts and have increased insight and ability to add specific categories. Etc
App works terribly

I set up one card and once I tried to to add other cards it just says “categorizing transactions” for so long. If I can’t upload cards than what’s the point
Disappointing

Well, despite every other complains registered here, I made the mistake of buying this app after trying for some hours the free version and realizing “it wasn’t so buggy and glitchy as the others said”. I missed some of the “premium” features and decide to spend some money to get them. Worst mistake. As soon as you get premium access, I don’t know if this is due to their authentication system or anything else, but the app start to behave glitchy and buggy. I can’t really set a group to share budgets with my GF, the sync system is awful, so many glitches, delays makes the system just not usable. I’m glad I didn’t sync any of my bank / credit card accounts. As many others registered I also tried to contact the developer to feedback them about my complains (atleast 3 different times) and never heard anything back from them. They’re making some money, but despite the good idea behind the app, the amount of bugs and the lack of support make me doubt about the app future.
Unusable, no customer service

I paid to use the app and I have waited 3 days for everything from my bank to sync properly. It shows transactions for $0 for almost all of them. Cannot use the app if it doesn’t have the correct information. Reached out through chat multiple times for a refund with no response.
great concept, bad UX

this app has all the right ideas for budgeting needs but it’s pretty hard to navigate the app. it’s also hard to customize the budgeting categories because everything is automatically fed into a category even though it’s in the wrong one. differentiating personal accounts from joint account is also all very jumbled up. the tagging system is hard to automate and customize. there really should be a free week trial before paying for a subscription
Great idea, bad execution

I started using Wally long time ago, like 4 or 5 years ago, and it was great. I stopped using it because manually typing every expense was a pain. Fast forward to 2021 and I re-downloaded it and I was impressed, great UI, Plaid integration so you don’t need to manually input your expenses and it was very smooth. I paid for it but after opening another bank account with the same bank it just stopped working, my accounts were duplicated, I removed them then linked them again but now it just doesn’t update my expenses, but it does update my totals. I contacted support and I never received a reply. Don’t buy it for now, it’s because of people like me that they can keep tricking users into paying for the app.
Completely Inaccurate

The only thing i like about this app is UI. The basic functionality of analyzing transactions is completely off. First off, transactions made on current day are marked as prior day’s transactions. Secondly, transactions do not balance out - for example - if i have transferred $20 from one account to the other... (both accounts linked to the same bank in the app) recent spending shows $20 instead of $0. - transfer out: - $20 - transfer in: +20 - recent spending should be $0 not - $20
Doesn’t sync

Quit syncing and I can’t get it to work with my accounts again and I am paying for premium.
No response from dev

My review has been deleted somehow, I’m new to apple could have been me. I’ll keep it simple this time. It looks good, feels ok, if you could mass adjust mislabeled categories and configure the auto cataloging it would be better. There is no manual sync and the days do not even match when you spent the money. After the most recent update it no longer syncs. Really want to like this and initially I was pleased enough to get the lifetime pass but until this gets manual syncing, fixes auto syncing, and lets you set up filters to catalog your transactions. This app is a pass.
