The app is so slow and sluggish that it is frustrating to use
The nonsense app doesn't load after survey Every comment here saying this app is good is either payed or AI
not powerful enough to my liking, user experience is subpar, so is the UI. not worth the money
Introducing the useless feature of the Magic AI Scan is one thing - but implementing it so that it covers the labels list and deteriorates the usability of the app is another level of incompetency
No widgets support. No option in the app to customise home screen. Timeline is the default home screen. Previous version's home screen with some graph widgets and recent transactions was better. Premium subscription is extremely over priced compared to any other finance management app in India
App got completely destroyed in the last update. What about basic ui/ux tests before updae release!!?? Please fix the app asap.
on the latest update the navigation is broken, the icons too big and the deeplink from bank websote is not working as before. Stuck in a white web screen
everything seems to be good before. but now everything is forced and subscription is too high for our market. found better free app.
I'm also changing my rating from 5 stars to 1. Ever since the update, the app opens to my very first transactions from 2016 instead of the current date. It's a huge hassle to scroll through years of data just to log a new transaction. It was perfect before, but now it' s barely usable., Another annoying thing that happened since the update is that in appearance instead of changing from dark to light depending on the setting of the phone it stayed in light mode.
2 Apr 2026: when open the app, it will go to the month of very beginning of my record, not the current month and now cannot delete any record!
[Edit: Uh oh - major bug, it keeps defaulting to the earliest date ~2016 of entries everyone I open the app, and now the edit page is too big I can't delete expenses because it's covered by my notification bar. Help!] This is a handy app to keep track of your transactions and I can recommend. Credit where it's due, the developer has done a good job in debugging and maintaining this app.
it's great but they just pushed a bug where the main screen goes back to Jan 2021 for some reason
I have been using this app since 2015. The latest version has several issues. The app takes too long to load, and every time I open it, the timeline resets to 2015. Data entry is slow and not smooth. If the network fluctuates during saving, the app gets stuck on a loading screen and does not recover. I have to force close and reopen it. These issues affect usability and need improvement, especially in performance and network handling.
it worked when I liked my bank for about 3 days and then it never updated even after trying to resync my accounts. What a waste of money! Don't buy!
still buggy. still stuck in a boot up loop, even though I reinstalled. lost all my data previously. quite ridiculous
Doesn't work at all. first of all it tried to upsell me on the sub after I started the trial for yearly (bug) can't add bank account, I am asked to fill out a form and then get an error about first name and last name, there is no name field in the form.
App is stuck on a damn boot loop. In 2026 we are having these problems. Unbelievable.
basic feature under in app purchase
requires a subscription to sync a single bank account
soooo buggy these days!! can't even open the app. keep crashing
this app is ridiculous! you have to subscribe first in order to create multiple wallets. imagine someone who is out of budget and wants to find out which expenses is more ( cash or bank or something ), they have to subscribe first in order to find out, and subsciption is another expenses. ridiculous app!
I can't even create a new wallet, it keeps showing buy a plan and it's very annoying, i couldn't even use it properly before being bombarded by the pop up.
2 problems no way to add a refund back into the budget and I gave up on the app, as accounts needs manual sync/refreshing every day.
tried signing up app just glitches amd flashes like crazy
Can't even connect one account So I downloaded this app created an account and tried to connect my first bank account.I went through the motions logged in authorized selected all accounts.Click next and it took me to a download screen to download the Spendee app. Apparently this is a deep blink redirect error and i've gone through the process three times and cannot even connect one account Not Sure about the developers of this app. I'm on an S23.
I can't login to the latest version. It keeps looping on Facebook sign in
good
After about 4 years since the big update, Spendee is still super slow and sluggish.
I have used this application since 2015 and have always been happy with its features and usability. Lately, however, it is disappointing to see its performance degrading. The UI is no longer responsive, and the latency between a click and an action is growing. I originally assumed this was due to my old phone, but I am experiencing similar lags even on a brand-new flagship device. I would much rather see the team focus on optimization than adding 'trendy' AI features.
My bank is not listed, how can i connect my bank account
Jeden z nejkrásnějších, co jsem kdy viděl. Funkčnost ještě okomentuji. Jen tak dál! Edit po 11 letech: rok od roku je to horší - chápu, že si nějak chcete (musíte?) vydělat na provoz a ještě chcete mit zisk, ale podmiňovat export všech dat za víc než rok zpátky pořízením premium? Cmon! Rovněž bugy typu zobrazení nejstaršího měsíce při startu appky bez možnosti nastavit, jako vážně? Na každej pád to asi nebudou úplně nejlepší motivatory (vydírání) pro pořízení premia...
Lots of bugs in the 5.6.0 version. Opening the app shows me the oldest transactions. I have to scroll all the way to 2026 to see my recent transactions. And opening Spending Overview from the past months shows me my spending overview of the current month.
Dear team, can you please stop with these full screen (unskippable) ads on app start? This is getting out of hand.
was looking for a free option. disappointed you can't use the app without committing to a paid subscription. looked like it had a lot to offer otherwise, but uninstall I go.
after last update the home screen scrolls back to the first month instead of the last one. the app still lags insanely, adding duplicates for the new transactions from time to time and freezing randomly on different screens, buttons and inputs.
Title: Annoying navigation bug I’m dropping my rating from 5 stars to 2. Ever since the update, the app opens to my very first transactions from 2021 instead of the current date. It’s a huge hassle to scroll through years of data just to log a new transaction. It was perfect before, but now it's barely usable.
It did not show most major NZ trading banks as available to link up so it was not usable for me. It only showed BNZ, Cooperative and Kiwibank.
I was using this app for a few months no issues but recently the app kept crashing with constant blinking and I had to uninstall and install the app.
most complicated The fact that the first wallet you see is fixed in one currency (GBP) and you cannot change that currency and it wont reflect even if you changed the preferred currency in the main settings of the app multiple wallets for 1 account and multiple budgets for 1 wallet. no real informative videos like YNAB just short non verbal youtube videos + sparse blog articles no option to copy and paste a transaction. i this is different from recurring payments amts can differ for 1 item
A few basic features are missing: splitting transactions (if I buy something and it includes, for example, a gift, I want to separate it into a gift category-I can't do this, which is especially important for transactions synced with my bank account).There's no way to mark unimportant transactions. The AI scanning feature, added just for the sake of AI, makes no sense; it doesn't divide into categories or anything. It's not worth buying premium : bank sync do not divide into category-all other
why i am only limited to one money wallet and one budget, these service are just simple calculater , you don't need to hide it behind a monthly subscription
