PocketSmith Sidekick

The app is much better now.

The app can be improved by allowing users to set custom periods. I get paid fortnightly so the app is pretty much useless as it only shows me data for a whole month. That being said, the webpage works really well on a phone browser so I might just stick with that for now until the app gets better.

I can’t use google to login to pocketsmith in the app. Only works for username password logins

It’s strange that an app called pocketsmith has an app without a usable level of functionality. You need a desktop size computer to access basic features. Needs to at least have the feature set of Toshl on the app. The rest you don’t need to access more than monthly, so that’s fine on desktop. Also, can’t create a budget for different combinations of expenses. Each individual expense type has its own budget. Has access to a great range of banks in Australia and has people actively working on the software, so would change in a minute if you could do the basics on the app or even phone sized web.

As previously mentioned the website is great but the app needs substantial work if they want to be a contender with any of the larger app developers. Again a lot of the websites functionality is missing here with the app particularly with sorting options, you can’t select individual or multiple banks to view if you are someone who does have multiple accounts this is frustrating. The website also isn’t ideally formatted for Mobile view so you should be using it on a desktop or tablet.

As a paying PocketSmith user I expect a better mobile app from PocketSmith. This app is very basic and limited.

The app is a really quick and easy way to categorise all the transactions that are automatically imported. It also gives you a quick reference to how you are going against your budgets. I find I use this everyday, then check the web for the deeper dive

I signed up on the desktop web version and used my Google account to do I pay a subscription to use the Service and unfortunately via the app. There is no Google sign in option only username and password therefore I am unable to use the app which is very frustrating.

No option to sign in with Google as Identity Provider. I’ve got an account that I created using my gmail but I can’t use that account to sign in on mobile. However it works on my desktop.

Had used Pocketbook for years this is SO much better. great customer service and really a perfect tool for anyone who has many bank accounts. Has simplified our reporting for Business Activity statements across the various businesses and I can quickly see what is paid. what isn't. The Dashboards are great.
