2 transactions daily? I used to be a long term user. yeah..... not paying 12 dollars a month to get around that limit
app used to be great, now there's a pay wall and I can't even login/sign up for a new account
Overall awful app. Very inconsistent in logging the data, periodically loses sync or doubles entries, interface is uninspiring. Been a paying member for 5-6 years but enough is enough. I vibe coded a replacement in under 2 hours from start to finish.
Been using since the app was free, gladly paid the monthly fee when they went that route. But that income hasn't made the product better, I constantly have issues where my account doesn't renew properly, even after paying the fee, which stops me from entering any new transactions. Their support takes days to answer, it's a huge pain. I deleted my account and data today and moved to Quicken Simplifi because Dollarbird can't get it together anymore.
app is always crashing and never updates
The current options to change the income type are set so high until it conflicts with the Pixels toolbar. This makes it impossible to use. Bad UX design.
recent update jams expense, income, and balance tab up in the info bar where it can't be selected
Edit: They limited the transactions to 3 so you can't even set up a monthly budget anymore. The app is basically useless for adding basic bills. it'll take at least week for someone to figure out a budget with rent, electric bill, and more. Old review: I like it. Easy app to see how much money I'll have by the end of the month, and keeps me on track.
It stopped working have to continuously be refreshing for transactions to load. New transactions won't sync. I have paid for the year yet it is still telling me to subscribe to a plan.
I keep trying to subscribe to the one that allows me to add unlimited transactions and the subscribe button isn't working
Bug still exists and keeps multiplying the txns over 100 times. It's wasting my time. The support is non existent. Takes days to reply. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. GO FIND ANOTHER APPS THAT WORKS AND YOU WILL HAVE SUPPORT WHENEVER NEEDED. I have just cancelled my subscription.
At some point app became unreliable and entries started getting lost randomly. Forcing sync doesn't seem to work, and some unsynced items simply disappear after a bit causing balance to be off. Have verified it's an app issue and not me by documenting entries, which begins to defeat the purpose.
Loved this app, but now with transaction limits. Doesn't update when I put things in for later. Useless. Still a year later decided to try and use this snd it's absolutely junk.
I have used this app for many years and prefer the old version dc classic which has now stopped working for me and I had to move to the pro I can not get used to it and would happily pay for the old one back
Horrible hice 3 entradas y me pidió susbcribcion. No recomiendo
Paid subscription plan??? Nope. Loved it when it was free. Delete
How convenient...when you try to delete completely your account it says "No internet connection"....and here I am posting this BAD review. I used to love this app. Now, so many updates that make imposible to use it.
After using this ap for years, it stopped working and now I'm being kicked off because I need to pay $40. Thanks for the warning!
After using this successfully for a few years it has recently become completely unusable. Transactions don't appear, random balances of minus 45k!!!! Crashing continually. Having relied on this for budgeting and knowing what is coming up it has somewhat left me in the dark. Uninstall and reinstall made no difference and this is the paid version!!!!!
What wrong with you, think twice about your customers .
You seriously think I'm going to pay a subscription to be able to add more than three payments a day?
Used this app for years - even paid for the "pro" version when it came out - but now they've suddenly started requiring a monthly payment with no warning. I'll find a new app to use.
The update is awful. Nothing syncs anymore. And there is a new limit on adding transactions. Bring back the old version that actually worked.
Edit: I haven't used this app in a while, but was very disappointed to see that I was limited further to what I could do. I used to be able to have one calendar and add as many transactions as possible. Now it limits me to 3. What a shame, I like this app too. Moving on to a different app now.
Changed the app, takes forever to troubleshoot. I no longer reccomend it.
Daily user for years. Suddenly, they add limited transactions per day. Now it's useless for me. Not recommend for now.
Requires you to sign into their servers (I'll host my own financial information, not you) and they don't offer lifetime subscriptions ($40 per year and that doesn't even unlock everything?).
Used this app for years, was great. Now they are forcing premium subscription, I don't want to have to pay for what I was doing for free for years. Well now I need to find another app that does it just as well as dollarbird without the paid subscription
I've used this app for years, and recommended it to everyone. Now with the limits in place, I'll find a new app.
The developers of this app are absolute morons and have no understanding of how to win over their customers. I've been a user for over 5 years approximately and, like a lot of the other reviewers, have been a huge advocate for this app. I've been such an advocate of this app that all my ex-girlfriends use it. Now that they have severely limited the capabilities of the app and have gone to a subscription service I no longer advocate for it and I see their ratings and fan base is dropping.
Used to be free
I didn't like the sudden pay wall that just appeared without notice. Completely disrupted the daily use which stopped me from using it. Will not be recommending anymore.
I wasn't happy to the limits imposed but since I really need this app I paid for the yearly plan. However, the app is not working correctly, it constantly shows no internet connection not being able to enter new data. This affects the efficiency of the app and the main reason of why I need it. Please fix this.
This app used to be perfect for an easy way to balance my checking account and manually entering my bills and spending in a nice calendar format. This new subscription system is rediculous, I don't need multiple calenders or users. There should be a one time charge for a single user vs a subscription for multiple users and cloud connectivity.
Paid for the app and money has been deducted but it's not offering me the premium version and keeps glitching. So disappointed
Been using it for a while now but very disappointed with DB as there are limits no for daily transaction. I've told my friends that this app is really helpful but with this new update I'm really disappointed. Looks like I'm gonna search for a new app. Thanks DB for your service.
EXTREMELY disappointed in their new limits! I've been using DB for YEARS to keep my budget in check and recommend it to everyone. Suddenly, and without warning, they've changed their free model so that users are limited to an unreasonable 3 transactions a day unless you want to pay $10/mo. They don't even offer a lifetime option. How is an app that's supposed to help me control my spending going to start asking me for money? Very, very disappointed in y'all, Dollarbird. I'll be switching apps!
worst app ever why you have limited the transactions !!!!!!!!
New update has put limit on daily transactions, and forces you to subscribe, which is a big disappointment ...
This was an amazing app! Key word being was. As of this week they decided to limit entry of transactions to just three per day without having a paid subscription. What an absolute joke!
Amazing and simple app until they started limiting daily entries. I would have been happy to do a once off purchase to unlock the ability to add more entries, but definitely not worth ~$60AUD a year. It's a simple (and sometimes buggy) app, you're better off spending your money on a more fully fledged alternative that has a once off payment of <$10AUD for premium.
It was all perfect, until today, you require me to subscribe to keep adding transactions because I reached the maximum daily amount, but I added only 3. You should say that when the app is being installed, not now that I have a couple months of data 🙄
I have been using dollar bird to organize my finances for YEARS and have recommended it to plenty of people in that time, alot of whom have opted for the paid version. Now I'm limited to 3 transactions per day? All because it doesn't seem cost effective for me to pay for more than one calender and user since that's all I need? I get you need to be competitive but why nerf the free version to the point where it's hardly usable?
This app was fantastic. Now they started to charge to insert your transactions. How can you do it again without charge?
It was a nice app until they started to limit your daily entries. I was using it to show a projected financial outlook after a few weeks. Now they have decided to limit free users daily entries. I'm not paying $9 a month to have 20 users and 3 calendars. I only need one. Very disappointed.
Trash
Used to be an exceptional budgeting tool for households. Now unfortunately moving to a 'paid' model.
I loved this app. Use it constantly, and it's been infinitely helpful. Tell me why, though, they just announced the subscription is going up $5 a month (basically doubling it), and ever since that moment the app has run like absolute trash? Am I meant to be paying more for a shittier app? and $5 increase almost doubles the current monthly fee. If you're gonna increase the fee, you have to at least maintain current service level. Preferably do better, but certainly don't make it run worse. Jesus.
Ohh yeah. After trying it for a day, you can only enter 3 transactions for the day. 😩
