Weekly: A Budget Planner

I desperately want to love this app but there’s one major issue and a few nits. The major issue … no Apple Card support. It’s my primary card so the budget is effectively useless without it. Nits … having to ignore cc payments seems like a hack. And plaid doesn’t support E*trade with 2FA. I suppose the later doesn’t matter as it doesn’t really do anything with investment accounts from what I can tell, but it could be more full featured.

Love the Weekly app—it’s now part of my whole financial tracking process on a biweekly pay period schedule. The one thing that would make this app even better is an integration with Apple Watch so I can add an expense (or income) from the watch via complication on the watch face.

While I think this is a useful budgeting app and I enjoy using, I absolutely despise the daily memos!! They are negative, sounds like they’re written by a teen who’s struggling to be creative, things like “oh joy, reminder that I’m broke again” or something alone the lines of “bruh, you’re haven’t logged anything, you sure your ok!?” It’s a f budgeting app, you don’t inspire people to make behavioral changes by negative talk and yelling th em they’re stupid. Change the narrative and focus of your memos to something positively inspiring and this would be a GREAT app. Right now these silly memos make it very mediocre. The app itself is solid, but the negative tone of the memos &reminders is appalling and juvenile.

As someone with ADHD, I’ve found tough times with prior budgeting apps. However, the way Weekly simplifies the budgeting process makes it the most effective and efficient budgeting app on the market. It’s been astounding on helping me to save money and control my impulse buying.

Not to be dramatic, but this app has been life-changing for my financial health. I’m slightly obsessed with budgeting so I’ve tried many apps and different systems. Nothing has helped bring me as much peace and financial cushion as the Weekly app. I love its minimalist aesthetic (widget of my dreams!), user friendliness, and the behavioral-psych approach that comes with a weekly budgeting system; there’s so much freedom and accountability in having a fresh start every week. I’m so thankful to the creators of this app. 🩵

I stumbled upon this app by accident one day. I have tested every budgeting app around and was using YNAB regularly but wanted something similar and easy to explain to my partner. I hadn’t ever heard of this app but decided to try it. It blew my mind by how good it was. It is super easy to set up. The team has thought of everything and made it easy to use. You can tell they’ve spent a LARGE amount of time thinking the right way to add every feature. The app is incredibly intuitive due to the thoughtfulness of the founders. Even more advanced things like adding tips to purchases and things, I assumed they wouldn’t work. Instead, they are a joy to use. Weekly will call out that a tip has been added and the purchase was adjusted. I had to reach out to support one time due to a bug. They responded several times in last than an hour and had my problem resolved. I have NEVER received this level of support for a product before. Highly highly recommend if you’re looking for your next budgeting app!!

Am a newbie . Still trying to understand how to use the app. The Discover account is the only one that is failing to sync. That’s my primary account. Any help on this ?

I do financial analysis for work and am more interested in budgeting than I should be. I’ve tried multiple budgeting methods and apps trying to find the best approach. Weekly is the best I’ve found so far. Of all the approaches we’ve tried, we’ve had the most success with saving money and not overspending since using Weekly.

I LOVE this app. It’s made managing our household finances so much easier, not to mention how easy tax time will be next year when I am able to categorize every purchase daily. It’s not cheap, but it really is worth the price. We use credit cards for everything to earn skymiles, this app is amazing to budget and track that spending and pay off that card every week.

I intentionally waited several months before writing a review in order to ensure I really used the app (or not). I’ve tried various budgeting apps over the years, including Mint, Quicken, MS Money, Excel, etc…, and they all have one thing in common… It’s hard to manage overly detailed budgets on a monthly basis, leading to lots of time wasted on setup and then giving up on it within a month or two. This is not the case with weekly. You get a simple weekly dashboard that tells you here is how much you can spend for the week, along with tracking to help you see how that value changes over the week. It doesn’t care how I spend my money, that I eat out too much or whatever, it just tells me how much money I have left to spend each week. The rest is up to me. That is hard to get used to at first, but it is way more approachable than trying to budget every little thing, and being wrong all the time. It’s been 4 months since I started using the app, and it’s probably the most used app I have now. Here are some pointers I learned: * Watch the video tutorial and really get a good understanding of what is recurring and what isn’t. I tried to rush into setting everything up and ultimately had to start over when I realized I was doing it wrong. Trust me, the time spent understanding how a weekly budget works is worth the investment. * I personally like to start my week on Mondays because I know that what I am spending on weekdays is usually must-haves, and it sets me up going into the weekend knowing what I can spend on nice-to-haves. * Keep enough cash in your accounts to deal with fluctuations in bills in spending. That’s easier than trying to figure out if there’s enough money to pay next week’s bills. Over time, it all averages out if you aren’t going over your weekly budget. * Lastly, this isn’t a retirement planner, investment modeler, balance sheet calculator, etc…. Appreciate this app for what it does really well, and use other tools for those types of things.
