Dollarwise: Budget & Tracking

This app is not good. I love Finacial audit and I finally decided to try the app. It doesn’t look anything like advertised and all of the metrics are buggy it gave me transactions that aren’t in any of my connected bank accounts. It doesn’t allow you to legit see anything. Caleb says “thousands of people love” this app it’s not possible

So I downloaded this app to see how it worked and gave the three day trial a go. However after digging around I found that another financial service I use has a built in budget feature that’s simple enough to use. Whenever I went to unsubscribe from the plan before I get charged they sent an email to an address that I recognize, but did not list when subscribing and did not use it in any way when making the account. In short I can’t login to change my subscription since it’s being sent to an email that I don’t have access to. This email was only listed under my personal contact in my address book (it has since been updated) but it isn’t used on my Apple ID or anything else I used for this app.

I emailed support to try and resolve this issue, but they haven’t responded. It’s been three days, so now I guess I get to contact my credit card company to try and prevent them charging me…

What a joke.

I sometimes have all my cash that on Apple Cash or put money aside onto Apple Cash to know what I can spend at times, but would love to have also a report on what I spent on Apple Cash

I want to love it but it has sooo many issues it doesn’t record my transactions correctly and or save my categories correctly or takes super long to reflect.

I think that Caleb and his team have done a fantastic job with this app. It looks and works so much better than the original version I tried when it was still the Simpler Budget app. So why the one star?

Simply, I cannot connect my Apple Card to this app, which is something I can do with the premium version of their competitor Monarch (which costs the same annually).

This may not be a dealbreaker for some, but for my wife and I it is. We use our Apple Card basically as our debit card. Everything except out mortgage routes through it, and then we just pay it off once or twice a month, tracking all our expenses from there because it tracks it more accurately than my bank statements. That said, with it unable to connect to Dollarwise, the app just confuses it as debt payments, which isn't what it is.

It makes the app impossible to track my budget on, and while I think the app itself is great, and I want to switch and support the Hammer team, this is a deal breaker for me. I hope to check back in another year as my Monarch annual renews, and find that integration added.

Seems like a nice app but as soon as I tried to sign up I realized there was no way to add my Apple Card. I’m able to do so with Monarch so I’ll be sticking with that. This app really only works for traditional bank accounts

The app was great until this latest update. Now it’s no longer a great budgeting tool. It wasn’t broke but they tried to fix it. I wish I could get my money back.

I log in at least once a week to see if anything is new. Not really, it still asks me to categorize the same transactions I’ve already categorized for months. The app is just broken. It’s not worth the money. You get nothing from this but a headache. It’s telling me I’m safe to spend $900 when I have over 10k debt and nothing shows my total debt broken down. Really bad concept. I feel like they focused on the swipe right/swipe left concept for categorizing and forgot the point of the app.

This is the best app I’ve found so far to track my spending and help budget… HOWEVER… there are some bugs that I hope they work out like custom categories for spending doesn’t save and a couple jitters in some menus love the app tho!!!

This app does NOT work. I do not recommend this app in its current state. It’s essentially useless.

big fan but it would not work and I wanted to try it out before I payed for it

Love this app! Really helps me see where all my money is going, what to cut back on and really help me get my finances in order! Well worth $10/month for all the insight it gives on a daily basis!

New version of this app has been a game changer!! I love that it follows swiping like dating apps. Swipe right for good (need). Swipe left for bad (want) and swipe down for super (savings).

What I would LOVE to see is categories Caleb actually uses on his podcast. “TP fund” or “taquitos/energy drinks” to keep track of those tiny transactions and see how much they actually come to.

Not easy to use at all. Doesn’t create a budget. I sent multiple emails to their “Support” and got no replies. I sent an email to the SAME support email address to cancel, and they canceled/refunded my membership no problem. Crazy to think they didn’t want to explain their super difficult app, so they didn’t respond…but I ask to cancel, and they respond within a day to let me know it’s refunded and I should see the reversal in 8-10 days. TO THE EXACT SAME EMAIL ADDRESS!!! The app is not worth it whatsoever. Awful customer support.
