NerdWallet: Manage Your Money

I tried this app for budgeting but you cannot add multiple accounts with different logins at the same bank. Because my husband and I both have our own bank accounts and credit card accounts with different logins that we share, I can’t add all of our accounts to view in this app. This means all of the insights and budgets are wrong. I previously used Mint.com RIP where this was possible. Otherwise, I like the interface, and the insights would be useful for a single person.

I use the app primarily to track my credit score and net worth. The accounts I have keep unlinking. Just relinked them last night and this morning they are unlinked again. When they are linked they have about a 24 hour lag that completely messes up the numbers. Makes it almost useless for tracking net worth unfortunately. Sad because this app has the potential to be wonderful.

I used to use Mint, the best in finance management. After mint was closed I switched to credit karma. This is a nightmare app, nothing good but it’s free. It’s getting worse and worse so I wanted to switch again. Then I found this Nerdwallet. Much neater. But the first issue I met was that u cannot add more than one account from the same financial institution. That’s so bad. The second issue I encountered was that many financial institutions cannot add in such as Apple so you cannot get the full image of your finances.

It would not verify my identity and I couldn’t get my credit score which is the whole premise of the app. Was really disappointed because I wanted an app that I could compare with Credit Karma but instead they can’t suggest cards that would be good for me like CK can.

Too much noise with points, credit report, etc rather than budget and spending.

Would love to see dark mode and apple passkey support

It work well but it very limited do to lack of categories

Nerd Wallet is extremely delayed with updates. Several times other sites update fairly quicker and Nerd Wallet can take up to 2 weeks from your score original update.

I can’t even dig into the app to see if it’ll really work for me because the iPad version seems to not support a landscape layout. Very frustrating and silly limitation.

I looked at a few auto quote options on nerd wallet, and the next morning woke up to 5 or 6 voicemails from different companies that I have never heard from and never applied for. These companies weren't even listed as loan options. This is different from other sites like Credit karma who let you look at options without giving your info to other folks. So beware!
