Honeydue: Couples Finance

I love this app! HOWEVER, I cannot have more than one custom category under the budget tab apparently. Because whenever I have two, click budget, and start to scroll the app closes. This is very annoying. Changed from two stars to one star because I have deleted ALL of my custom categories, hard reset my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled.....AND IT STILL CLOSES EVERY-TIME I TRY TO SCROLL DOWN UNDER THE BUDGET TAB. All of the other tabs work fine. I downloaded this app yesterday and it was working 100% fine. This is very annoying. Thank you very much for the response! I really do appreciate it. I love the way the app is set up. It really is the perfect app for budgeting. I even recommended it to my parents and friends. I am so happy that the issue was able to be resolved! 5 STARS!!!!!

My fiancé and I started using Honeydue to track our spending and stay on budget. The app’s functions are great - really helpful to see all the accounts laid out, all transactions, and track our spending by category. However, this app can be incredibly buggy, which makes it very annoying to work with. A great feature of the app is being able to create new budget categories (for example, Wedding or Pets) and move items into this categories to track spending. So, it’s incredibly frustrating that the app can never seem to figure out recategorizing items! I had to recategorize a Whole Foods charge three separate times - I’d make the change, see that it was moved to the correct category, and then log in later and see that it had reverted to the original (wrong) categorization. Other problems - sometimes the Transactions tab won’t load at all and changes you make do not show up automatically (you have the force quit the app and reopen). So much potential here if they just fix all the glitches!

I really like this app but it definitely has some room to develop. If it does so it will be a great app. It is really nice how well it syncs between my wife and I without having to use Dropbox or some other service. It is also well designed with a clean look. One of my dislikes is that the navigation can be a little clunky. For example, if I tap “bills” navigation when I am already under the bills, but not on the main screen, somewhere further in a sub-area, the app does nothing. I would like the app to take me back to the main screen without having to tap “back.” Second, when I add a new budget item there is no place to put how much I want to budget. This seems like an oversight and should be corrected. Third, on the main budget screen, and on each budget category, I would like to see not just how much I have spent, but also how much I have remaining to spend. This app is on a great track and I hope it continues to develop!

Been using this app for maybe 3 months now. I really enjoy this app, much better than I did Mint though there were things I liked better in Mint. Those things are now included in the most recent update. I had problems with the reminder dates for bills here and there. Noticed that if you were to go in and modify a date, the date picker automatically went a year ahead of the date you are actually trying to change. No biggie. But now after the new update and the features I enjoyed about Mint came about, all of my due dates are messed up. Everything marked as paid for the last month are now showing as past due and they are also showing due on incorrect days. Things that are due today are showing due three days later. No clue what happened but now I have to go through all my accounts to figure out correct due dates again and reset the due dates for each one over again.

I’m fairly new to this app. So far I’ve had mostly good experiences with it. I love the concept of being able to monitor various accounts involving both me and my spouse. I especially love that it’s free (at least for now). I do believe this can help any couple see where they can make financial improvements together, so it’s definitely worth trying out. I gave it only 4 stars instead of 5 because it seems to be very slow to update so our balances are rarely accurate. But then, we do our banking at a place that isn’t as common/popular as others; so I’m guessing that may have something to do with it. Also, I believe I have my notification preferences set up correctly and yet I never get any of the notifications I would like at all. Other than that room for improvement, I am enjoying the app and I look forward to what’s next.
