Pocket Expense 6

Love this app. Have been using for several years. After this last update it has been terrible. I woke up to the app saying updating and syncing which I never seen before. I then waited for about an hour and turned my phone to stay on so it wouldn’t time out. After that still no change. I then decided to whip out my old tablet and downloaded the app and logged in to my account on that device. And to my surprise it showed transactions from 2021. But no other transaction on my checking account. Then I close the app I try to load the app on my iPhone again and still stuck at 98%. I then deleted the app and redownloaded it. Logged into my account and was shocked to see the most recent transaction on my account was from January 2025 but was only my monthly bank check fee. Then I logged out on tablet and back in and same thing I now had some transactions from 2023 as well as one transaction for every month until January 2025 all my $1 monthly bank fee charges. This is totally unacceptable and it’s terrible. I track and plan money a month out to ensure if anything happens I had a buffer that my wife or anyone could see and manage if needed. It also helped me plan upcoming trips and helped to manage my money. I need a backup from a few weeks ago that can get combined into the transactions I will be making now to fix this. I may end up just leaving this app entirely. I loved it so much that I paid to remove the ads as well. But now something like this makes me not even want to use it anymore.

I tried other budget programs.....Microsoft, Quicken, Mint....for me, this is by far the easiest. I can create categories and subcategories, delete the pre-filled categories I do not need. I can create recurring payments on a calendar to remind me of upcoming payments. I can add accounts easily. I can also do a budget for however many months in advance I need to in order to predict my future cash flow and expenses. I have within each item enter into the bank account to record notes such as balance left. I like that you can use a password or fingerprint to get into it so no one can just open the program and view your financial status. My only real issue is that when you add accounts, it only allows for a certain number to be added and to be able to view in the column. I have yet to figure out how to be able to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to chose as it has not let me so far. But that is minor to me. I like that I can view a graph of just where my biggest spending is going and adjust accordingly. Overall, I have been using this program steadily for four years now and have decided to not change to a different program. Plus, upgrading cost very little and it was well worth it to get all the features. Definitely recommend this for anyone who want less complications for maintaining financial situation.

I have the pro version and I’ve been using for years and I love this app. That said there are still always things to improve. With the new update there is a lot to like but I wish the accounts button was on the left switched with the settings. Also I would prefer a button on the bottom right to go straight to accounts instead of having the bills icon as I rarely use it. Because I have investments I usually update the total value about every other day or so manually. I am fine doing it manually but the only way to do it is to change the beginning acct value. Otherwise I’d have to created incomes and expenses for the acct but would mess with my incomes/expenses due to it being a no cash change. Please make a function specific for investments to add appreciation or depreciation so that I can have a continuous and accurate net worth over time without affecting income/expense. I would also like to add when you do updates it sometimes messes up my acct values and idk why. Maybe it’s some way I imputed transactions years ago. Can you also add a category called Account Reconciliation. Also please correct the issue when entering transactions it is in lowercase
