PocketMoney

Iam paying the gold membership & still have adds very disappointing, otherwise a great app.

Completely rewritten and nothing like the original, only the icon is the same. The rest is a mess.

I’m in agreement with the majority of reviews here. Since it was “rewritten”, abysmal is not a low enough description of what the app has become. Have previously used it for a decade. Fortunate enough to have kept an old phone with the original version, and keeping the phone alive purely for this app. The available version is nothing more than a money grab from the new developer. The attitude towards users is also abysmal. Hopefully karma does its stuff.

App has taken a turn for the worst. A once paid app has turned “free”... with ads and a subscription model, but even worse, it’s not functional even more. Its sad to see what the original developer’s great work and vision (RIP Hardy) has turned to, the new owners obviously just don’t care and are milking Hardy’s legacy.

The previous version of the app was excellent and I used it to record both personal and business expenses for around 7 years. It backed up to iCloud and I was able to meet all legal obligations in regards record keeping for tax purposes. Then there was the forced upgrade. I cannot comment on the functionality because it is of no use to me. I cannot access my old backups, despite the assurances I should be able to. I now have to waste weeks, perhaps months, to re-record these expenses. If you use it now, there is no reason why you will not be in this position in a few years time. Fool me once ...

Update: I thought I should give it a go and decided to update to the new PocketMoney version. The update screwed up my balance and all transactions are now called just "transaction" with now reference to the vendor - I can't figure out how to export transactions in spreadsheet format and can't figure out how to show the budget. I deleted PocketMoney from my iPhone for good. I would give this app "zero" stars if I could. What a shame! Glad that I had a finance/budget backup app I'm going to use from now. In my view the developer breaches Apple's developer guideline as the new version of the app is not add-free for existing users and doesn't offer the same functionality without subscribing. 😢

I upgraded my iPad and was very unhappy to discover my PocketMoney app was not available - it had been removed from the Apple store and replaced by a new version. I bought and paid for this App previously, I own it and I want it back. I backed up my old iPad and was shocked to find that the App I had supposedly backed up was no longer available. The new App is a sad sad version of the previous one - functionality is extremely diminished. For instance I can’t even display the current balance of my accounts, only whatever future balance based on future entered transactions. This means I cannot enter future transactions and understand balance impacts easily. The layout is also very poor - smaller font is hard to read and colours make it even harder. Can I please have my old App back. I bought and paid for it - where is it? I will be reporting this to Apple.

Since money has become so tight during this awful Covid-19 period, my friends have been asking me how my financial affairs have been so controlled. I have showed several friends my Old version of PocketMoney and they have all agreed what a fantastic app it used to be. I am so pleased I have your previous version, as this update is rubbish. Is there a chance you could release it under another name as you would have many new customers?

I used to like this app but not it’s just a nightmare to use - the new update is not user friendly!!! There is no way to change the settings - the balance is hard to see with white numbers against a light green highlight...
