CountAbout

I switched from Quicken and Count About is so much better and the price is right!

After actual YEARS of searching, I think I have finally found the perfect budgeting app for me! It is extremely customizable, which is exactly what I wanted. Also, the [optional] subscription is very reasonably priced. Finally, it has worked seamlessly, so far. Any issues I’ve encountered have been easy to figure out. I am thrilled!

Finally got fed up with the escalating price increase of Quicken and went looking for a more affordable option that still gives me transaction downloads. (And all of my years of Quicken data imported simply and cleanly.) CountAbout does that with full SaaS/cloud access via the web and a mobile app! You do give up traditional bank account reconciliation, but they have a helpful reconciliation summary in the upper right hand corner. Finally, it does NOT play nice with the Apple Card. I am continually having to "fix access", plus the transactions don't download even when it appears it is "fixed".

First I have to type my password in every time to login. Face ID does not seem to be enabled. In addition the biometrics they ask you to enable never works. Please fix these so I can continue to use and pay for the app.

Simple platform that helps me keep track of all my business expenses. I’d like a little bit more customization and features, but it gets the job done!

With the many bugs and ever increasing subscription cost of Quicken, I have searched for a long time for a replacement that suited my needs. I finally found CountAbout and while not perfect (what is?), it is darn close. It synchs with my chosen banks and accounts smoothly, something Quicken would not always do, and I was able to import my QIF files in minutes and accurately. I am able to synch across my windows laptop and iPhone and the app works very well. I can enter transactions manually and CountAbout does a great job matching them when doing a later download. The price is fair and as long as they keep it that way, I am delighted.

There’s plenty to like about this app—being able to import Quicken info when switching over, having all of your financial info at your fingertips, and an intuitive arrangement of the app—but if you can’t download information from your financial institution, it’s useless. Support is lacking. It’s been about 10 days since I first contacted them about the problem. They responded right away, but since the initial attempt to fix it—nothing. To add insult, I received an email today offering a discount (good for 3 days only) on the premium subscription which allows downloading from my bank. I would gladly PAY for this option. I’m trying to be patient, but they are not impressing this new customer!

Very easy to use, great product for a great price!

I keep getting ..it wants me to scan a qr code for a passkey? When I scan it with my android phone, it says no passkeys available. Plus, I cannot even enter my password, won't let me. Help please

I wrote a bad review when the update came out. In this latest update you have fixed many of the issues. So happy because I was not looking forward to finding something new. Thanks again for listening!
