FaithFi: Faith & Finance

A while back my favorite money management app we had used for over 15 years was discontinued. I searched and couldn’t find anything comparable until I saw an online thread someone talking about FaithFi. I was skeptical that a faith based app would have the functionality I needed for an envelope-concept budget management system. FaithFi proved me SO wrong. It has surpassed my expectations, and any functionalities previously missing have been installed. It may not be compatible with some financial institutions, and I had one credit card with Synchrony that only updated once a month on the app, but synchrony got their act together eventually and I couldn’t be happier. There are coaching articles and short podcasts to encourage people wanting to steward their money better. It is the best money management app out there and the pricing is beyond reasonable! Thanks FaithFi, keep up the good work!

The FaithFi App is beautiful and looks and is organized better than EveryDollar. The main issue I’m having is the transactions are not importing. I’ve tried everything I know to do with glitching apps. I also tried the “App Support” link and it’s down. There’s no real way to report a problem within the app. Not sure what the issue is but this is the 14 day trial. I’ll give it a few days to correct itself or I’ll sadly have to move on. iPhone 12 Pro iOS 17.0.3 Update: The problem I described above is from me not fully understanding how FaithFi goes and gets imports. Other apps I’ve used would go and grab all transactions from that particular month. FaithFi only downloads from the start date you specify or the default which is the date you do the first import. The first day I downloaded there were no transactions so it appeared to me that FaithFi didn’t do the import. Maybe there should be a prompt to ask the user from what date they would like the import to start.

I trust MoneyWise and was excited to learn about this app to help manage my finances electronically. I signed up for the free trial offer to check out the benefits of the paid version. The interface is clean and easy to navigate and I had no difficulty connecting to my external institutions. Having the feed automatically upload is so helpful, as money moves fast in and out of these accounts. I am pleased to be able to easily add custom envelopes however I read that the free version has 75 options for envelopes (but with no customization), and I would love to see that benefit added to the paid subscription (18 envelopes). One more suggestion — A button for “add new envelope” when you long press into an unassigned transaction would be such a time saver. Otherwise excited to get started with a biblically sound plan for the providence God has provided. Thank you!
