Quicken Simplifi: Budget Smart

After using the app for a few months it can no longer calculate my income after bills, the app even proudly displays incorrect math, stating 4,000- 1600 = 912.56. Concerning that a company who only does finance software can’t do subtraction correctly

Spending plan in the app shows amounts correctly - available spending in the widget is wrong and shows an amount 3x the available spending in the app. Hasn’t been updating for a few months now.

App is riddled with UI/UX bugs especially with swiping items. I only picked this app because it was the cheapest that offered the MINIMUM functionality that I am looking for (and barely at that). They also just increased their prices as seen on their website so I will not be renewing. They need to spend a hefty investment on fixing up the app if they want to stay competitive. Also it’s weird how splitting a transaction doesn’t treat each new transaction as their own in the sense that I can’t tag, flag, or add different notes to the individual new transactions, it just effects the “parent” transaction which then effects every split transaction

Why when I open the app does it ask to track me across other apps and websites? Quicken says this is “to personalize your experience.” I guess this means to sell my personal data or advertise to me? So disgusted I’m leaving Simplifi and finding another app.

My bank accounts are with Barclays and i was unable to use the app for what i wanted to because i could not link to my bank. wasted $36

All was going well. I was even impressed this time around. So, I was ready to print some reports just to find out you can’t print reports! So, I headed over to the “community” to add my vote for report printing. I came to find out that it’s been on the request list for 4 years! I just done get it. Simplifi can’t print reports, Quicken Classic Deluxe has no running budget, also requested a long time ago. Quicken-you’re out of touch with your customers. No wonder people like me can’t use your services.

It will not connect to my bank (a top 30 bank) or it does and then continues to disconnect so I cannot do my budget. Customer service unhelpful and even when bank was connected, it’s confusing and again customer service wasn’t helpful. There was no way to get a refund or assistance.

This app is kind of trash. I’ll give it to stars because at least it doesn’t crash. The web app is better. On this app: - I have no way to drill down on reports and look at sub categories.. this is infuriating, what’s the point of having sub categories if I can’t see them in a report? - I can’t select/modify multiple transactions at once on the iPad… What’s the point of a big screen if I can’t make use of it? - the swipe left/right transaction feature is not useful. It feels like they just did it so that they could say “me too” on swipe features. - it should be easier to pick specific months for reports and it should stay the same as I look at different reports. Right now I have to jump through a whole bunch of hoops to look at my September expenses in different reports. If this is the way it’s going to be I’m definitely not renewing

It’s honestly not that great and I miss Mint so much. I got a deal on the first year but I will not be continuing. Too many things just don’t function the way I want, and it’s not worth the price tag to me.

Had reset connection to bank 3 times (with 4 hours between) and it STILL Couldn’t link it to my bank properly MISSING my rent payment, so I made a support appointment. The dude told me to log out. Then I couldn’t log in! Wasn’t receiving emails and it wouldn’t recognize my password. Then he told me I had to call in 4 hours to see if I can find a way to get into my account. He tells me Wells Fargo is having issues w them… thats my only bank account so this app is useless. Why would I want to wait 4 hours for updated info? Why isn’t the connection automatic so I know how much money I have and can categorize and spend? Everything is in accurate in my reports. This turned me off to budgeting completely.
