Not free
This app is not at all free. I spent twenty minutes adding my income and bills, hoping that it would be able to keep track of my due dates but no. All it does is give you your safe to spend money. For everything else you have to go pro and pay a subscription. Complete waste of time.
Almost perfect for ADHD!
Weekly is by far the best budgeting app I’ve ever found for my ADHD (and I have tried SO MANY.) the one missing piece is I need my safe to spend number to show up on my browser somehow so that I see it before I spend - from experience I know that I’m just not capable of remembering to look at that big, wonderful widget on my phone BEFORE I spend. A browser extension or Mac menu bar that showed the number constantly would be ideal. And I know it would be helpful to non-ADHDers too. Until then, it only gets me 1/4 of the way from the relief from overspending that I need.
Worst customer service or lack of
I thought this was a good app, and am about to delete it if no one reaches back to me, i have left three different questions in customer support WEEKS/ months ago, and these people still haven’t responded. Mind you I pay for the monthly subscription, don’t know if there is a number or not but if they don’t that makes it even worse
Unable to Load App
The app remains frozen on a loading screen that says “one moment, we are updating your data.”
I’ve e-mailed the developers about this and have not received any support or updates.

Beware
This app during sign up flow advertises “Try PRO Free for a Week” and then proceeds to actually bill you for a year immediately. I’m currently making a claim for a refund from Apple. Developer, do better. Don’t offer fake free trials.
Stuck trying to load
Stuck trying to login. Deleted and reinstalled it multiple times, turned off phone etc. still stuck.
Expensive and does not work
This is a very expensive subtraction for a app that claims certain features that does not work. This does not sync properly as it claims and you will be left with inaccurate numbers. There is no real use for this app and there’s nothing you can really do to adjust other expenses
I wish I could love this
I used this app this month and loved the ability to budget from my safe-to-spend category on a weekly basis.
Unfortunately, at the end of the month I noticed that I was in the red. I ran the numbers myself and found that my “safe to spend” category was much higher than it should have been. Now I need to find a new budgeting app.

Calculations are wrong
With a weekly paycheck - minus that weeks recurring bills money safe to spend are 3 times higher than what I actually have. What am I doing wrong?
Hate the memos!
While I think this is a useful budgeting app and I enjoy using, I absolutely despise the daily memos!! They are negative, sounds like they’re written by a teen who’s struggling to be creative, things like “oh joy, reminder that I’m broke again” or something alone the lines of “bruh, you’re haven’t logged anything, you sure your ok!?” It’s a f budgeting app, you don’t inspire people to make behavioral changes by negative talk and yelling th em they’re stupid. Change the narrative and focus of your memos to something positively inspiring and this would be a GREAT app. Right now these silly memos make it very mediocre. The app itself is solid, but the negative tone of the memos &reminders is appalling and juvenile.
