   Won’t download. Trying even with restarting the phone

   Unable to update on my old IPad. I have used this app daily for at least 7 years and am unable to update now as I am required to do to view my Budget. It states I must. I don’t have the latest operating system due to lack of memory. My grandchildren’s pictures will not be deleted to allow that upgrade. I do not need or want all the new Ramsey tips so hadn’t upgraded previously and was able to use the old version. I have been fully debt free for years and am sorry I can’t continue to utilize the simple old form and free version of Every Dollar. I listen to the Ramsey show daily and wanted to continue using my budget and referring to older months and years. Not a good change for long time listeners.

   App WAS Near Perfect. I split transactions a lot, and now you can’t why did you ruin the app with this update??? Gotta cancel cause it’s unusable now.

   UPDATE PROBLEM. The new app does not work for my iPhone. Now I am not able to access my account on Every Dollar. I am not HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

   Cost to use. Cost to use

   Forced survey?. Let me enter in this item real quick… what is this survey? How do I get out of it? … I can’t? A loop until I answer? What if I don’t want to tell you what my hopes and dreams are so that they can be marketed back to me? What if I’m PAYING YOU $100 A YEAR to be a quick and convenient way to manage my money and all of your now “features” are just getting in the way of it? Stop.

   What Happened?. Oh no! What happened? In the latest update, I can’t type in my income received. Can’t get the numbers to type in accurately. I’m punching them on my phone but it’s only recognizing some numbers and not letting me get past a $50 increment. It’s so odd. I've used this app to budget for a while now and never had any issues. Please fix. 🙏

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Can’t login. Payed $80 a year for an app that I can’t log into

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not a streamlined experience. The whole point of budgeting at your fingertips is convenience and quick access. I am usually using this when I need to quickly input my expenses and move on. Half the time I’m having to log back in because it’s booted me out and now it tries to make me take this personalize your experience survey before I can even log in. We are researching other options at this point.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Time to go. Latest update caused over 100 duplicate transactions that I am unwilling to go back and fix. I’m done with the lazy testing before deploying updates. Also, I was forced to answer questions before getting to my budget…literally no way to opt out. This app has lost its way. Deleting and moving on after 10 years.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Updating my review of your recent Updates. 1) I would rather NOT have “Merchant” pre-filled in with an editable “category”—instead of leaving it blank for a manual fill-in 2) PLEASE revert/UPDATE EVERYDOLLAR TO—Taping the top of the app TO BRING the user back to the top—the INCOME level of the app. All other apps will do it, EVERYDOLLAR USED TO DO IT, but not in your latest surge of updates! :-( 3) My bad, could have been a fluke when updating, please disregard!— Now ALL THE BOTTOM TABS are GONE! 😮🙄😵‍💫

12. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    New update leading to errors. The new update ruined the remaining to spend category. Now if you go over budget by say $500, it will tell you that you have $500 left to spend, not that you are $500 over

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Update sucks. Before the update it could track income and spending. Now it won’t track any income and doesn’t accurately reflect my budget anymore. It just shows what’s spent making it look like I have way less than what’s actually there. It’s not as helpful if I can’t also track what’s coming into my budget so I can actually get a real picture of my money.

14. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Glitch central. Looks like it would be a great app to use unfortunately I can’t even get through the sign on process without a glitching. Tried everything with no luck.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Constant Issues. I’ve been dealing with constant issues on this app for 5 months. It’s a shame because it used to work so well and now it is unusable. Ongoing connection issues and the biggest challenge is duplicate transactions which are extremely time consuming to go sort through. All customer support tells you to do is switch to Plaid, then back to Mastercard Connect, then back to Plaid.

    Background App Refresh….. I’ve submitted several feature requests on the need for background app refresh. I have 19 transactions to allocate and do not see that I have them via a badge notification until I OPEN THE APP?! Badges are the life blood of adoption in this distracting world. Let’s go!! This has to be a baseline functionality.. once it’s added I’ll bump the app review back to a 5/5.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Reconnecting to bank EVERYTIME. We have a subscription to the app and have to reconnect it every time we open the app. This app makes it easier to track finances but it’s not worth it having to reconnect it every time.

18. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Several serious flaws. 1. Can batch transaction labeling. Need to use an LLM on this anyway, because I am constantly labeling a ton of slightly different transactions 2. Foreign Transactions sometimes don’t appear for a day or two. Meaning the app is not an up to date representation of my money. 3. Renaming / editing goals is buggy

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not worth the money. Doesn’t communicate with Affirm, Klarna or many other accounts. Have to manually enter a lot of things and if you are married and want to both budget, not possible. I’m sure this would work great for someone that is single that has accounts that communicate with the app. Not worth paying for.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Subscription. I subscribed and the premium features are not working. I deleted the app and reinstalled and it didn’t work. I hope I can get a refund.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Worthless. I paid for a year subscription because I thought this would help me get a handle on budgeting. I was wrong, and there’s no way to know ahead of time. I have 2 banks, 1 of which doesn’t work with this app. There’s supposed to be a way where I can manually add in transactions from that bank into the app to show my budget, but 1) I don’t pay for an app to not do what most other apps WILL do for the same amount of money. 2) it doesn’t support Cash App at all. So again, more manually entering transactions which doesn’t work properly. I am trying to follow the whole Ramsey method. They preach selling stuff to help pay down debt. What do 90% of people want to pay for things you’re trying to sell want to use for money transfer? Cash App. So I ended up just using a pad to track everything and wasting my money and time trying to figure out this app. Save yourself a lot of headaches and probably some money too. Look into other apps before you buy this one.

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Overpriced. Makes a budgeting app but charges you $17 month for premium.

23. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Cant even log in. Downloaded app, wont even let me log in. Keeps directing me to the Safari app and tells me it wont do it cuz the page has been redirected too many times. And i already have an account so idk why it just wont let me log in.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Transactions not uploading. Transactions aren’t uploading. I’ve tried updating the app and contacting customer service, nothing seems to work. I regret getting this subscription for this useless app

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Disappointed. Spent a lot of time creating my budget and learning app. A few days later I open the app and all of the information is gone! I refuse to start over again. Waste of my time.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Free version doesn't do anything. I previously started with the free version. It will not allow me to update my planned income now. I've done it multiple times, there is no save function and it reverts to my previous entries. Worthless waste of time

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Declining accuracy. Accuracy inconvenience is declining over and over again now I have used this app for years and bought for several family members transactions don’t sync until 9 at night the day of posting to your account. You no longer budget in the morning unless you want to be a day late.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Requires more input than I expected. We can’t keep up with all the reconciliations and payoffs on our credit accounts… was hoping to just reset our account so we could use it since we were automatically charged for another year…. It is just miserable to try to keep up with for us and we have tried to get it accurate so it might be worth the money we spent on the app again… I am beyond frustrated with the app but the customer service was a very nice lady that genuinely tried to help us get our money back since it just renewed the subscription again, but I have an iPhone so it was not possible even though we went through all the guidance from the wonderful customer service lady… I have finally cancelled the subscription over $80 from renewing again but we are having to eat another year of the very messed up app account… will just have to give up on the hope of a refund of the $80.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Wasted my time saving my entire budget twice. I just downloaded this app on a new iPhone and spent a good amount of time filling out my expenses and budget for this app to not save it the first time and then the second time, not show correct calculations. So frustrating

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Learning Curve. The learning curve on this is atrocious, learn to budget without this app and save your money.
