Buddy: Money & Budget Planner

Half baked product, too many bugs, irritating, promoted options mission, missing options to make it usable, customer service ignoring all email .. so unusable trash .. I deleted it

When i tried to change name of exist care goriva after 5th category got po uo upgrade to paid.

I’ve tried Mint YNAB Goodbudget and Truebill - and this is by far the best one. Definitely worth the lifetime premium. It’s the same cost as six months of You Need a Budget for unlimited premium features. I love how much control you have over the additions and set up. It really gives a clear picture of your situation. I’ve already gotten set up to get out of debt seven years early! I am very pleased with this purchase. Some might not like the manual input but it actually helps me to track my overall costs. Great for those with variable incomes and changing monthly costs. I don’t use the partner features, but it seems like an amazing feature as well. The manual aspect really allows you to do everything with your goals in mind. Highly recommend.

I don’t like that I can’t add all my bills (card)

I have been trying for a week to get two accounts to link and it appears only one will sync at a time to the budget There is sometimes a three day lag and it makes it hard to reconcile

It feels like an abandoned building. It said it’d give you a week free trial but the prompts kept pulling me to subscribe — the reviews were so good I thought, okay. I’ll bite. Like a dumb fish on a hook! I so want my 50 bucks back! Knew it sucked in seconds. First it links with major banks only. (Or so it claims) Figured it’d at least link with my Apple Card? Nope. Exact same list of banks in both checking and credit cards. Floats my Apps above which was cool but gives no renewal data on those. So I see what I have but no idea when the renewal dates are and no way to scrape that info. I mean I can go into each App I own to see if I want to renew on my own but then what’s be the point of this App? I think it’s a dead App. The interface is garish. Purple? It feels like a beta version that in no way is ready for prime time? Kids’ thesis product I wonder?

UPDATE THE SELLER SAYS HE REPLIEA WITHIN 1 DAY AND THAT IS A LIE I HAVE PROVIDED THE SAME SUGGESTIONS AND REPORTED SEVERAL BUGS HE NEVER CARE TO FIX HE IS THE WORST DEVELOPER AND HE CONSTANTLY SAYS LIES HE WAS PRETTY UNIQUE AT DESTROYING AN APP THAT ONCE WAS NICE AND NOT ANYMORE I HAVE SHARE MY FEEDBACK SEVERAL TIMES AND THE FEW TIMES HE REPLIED HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO FIX THE THRUTH IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 year AND HE NEVER FIXED IT THE BIGGEST LIER EVER SEEN AS DEVELOPER 1. The developer never answers and doesn’t care about customer feedback 2. Recurrent expenses you have to click manually for every upcoming month That is not useful and a waste of time 3. There is a scrolling horrible animation 4. Developer destroyed the app several years ago and he never care to fix it

I downloaded this app and started the free trial. I did not like how this app was laid out. I canceled the subscription. I didn’t open the app again. Come to find out, it didn’t take the cancellation. So it charged me for an entire year. I tried to contact Apple for a refund immediately after getting the charge alert. They would not refund it. I went ahead and synced my accounts because I’m not going to pay for an app and just not use it. It is the worst budgeting app I’ve ever used. I really do not understand the good reviews. It has categories, but it never puts charges into the correct category, and you have to manually adjust every single one. Nearly every single time. Forbid you have a credit card. It doesn’t seem to understand how it works. It’ll say you’re going “over budget” for ANYTHING to do with a credit card. Whether making a payment or using the card for a purchase. We just paid off our cc debt this past month and it says we are way over budget because of this, even though we are not, it was planned and set. I have had to re enter my card information 2 or 3 different times at this point because it keeps saying they’re not synced. Learn from me. If you just WANT to try the trial, do it, but make sure it actually cancels before the first payment day. Because they auto set it to annual payments. Whether it was my internet that day, or whatever else it may be for the reason it didn’t cancel. But if Apple gives me the confirmation of the app being canceled, I expect them to stand by that. 😒

As above.

Enjoyed using the app and considering signing up to the subscription. Reached out three times trying to get some time sensitive support but still haven’t heard back. Worried that if I ever subscribed and have some issue with the app or data, will I ever be able to get support help? This happened to another accounting app that I used for two years and had to switch because of the data issue that couldn’t get resolved. Worried that it’ll happen to this app as well.
