BuyBye - Save Money

We all know the app is blocked by the $30/year subscription, which is silly coming from an app that should help you save money. Turns out the developer(s) couldn’t care less to understand the frustration behind the subscription, so they copy and paste a response to send you to their website. To no one’s surprise the website doesn’t work either. I put in my hourly rate, birthday, and how much I want to save. Every time I press submit, it tells me to fill in “purchase price” even with “$650” entered into the text box. Since this app is useless, here’s how to calculate yourself. Hourly x hours per pay period = gross (not net) paycheck. Salary calculators for taxes are FREE online if you search for it. Your end number is how much you receive per paycheck and if you’re smarter that the developers, you can easily calculate how many paychecks it’ll take because “days of work” doesn’t matter if you get paid biweekly.

The immediate “gives us feedback” when i havent even used the app yet was sketchy. And then it asked me a yes or no question which then gave me the same resolution regardless of which answer i pick. Then you have to pay after doing all that just to get help. Granted its only $30 annual, but the point of the app is to help “SAVE” money. So why add on an extra $30 apple bill!?

I love the concept, but when I saw the charge for the app I used the app to see if I should pay it….not worth it. So I cancelled and deleted the app. You can VERY easily use an AI model and a properly written prompt to do this for free. Just fyi.
