Spendee Money & Budget Planner

I tried out a bunch of different apps to meet my needs. I just needed a simple app where I could add recurring expenses along with other one off expenses and see how much money I have left to spend for the month. This does that and more. Love the design and the user experience. My only suggestion would be to let users pay a one time fee of 2-3 dollars for every member they want to share their wallet with. I don’t really need any of the other premium features. Really an excellent app though! Another suggestion would be to allow users the ability to see the amount of money they will have left to spend for future months instead of waiting for the month to end before I get to see the current month. This will allow users to prepare for upcoming recurring expense and purchases.

Edited review: I’m downgrading this to 1 star. Spent a couple hours customizing this app when I first downloaded so different expenses would be categorized the way I want them. Despite this, when I just updated a weeks worth of new transactions from my bank accounts, they didn’t take the new categories and just defaulted to the way the app started off. Which means I have to recategorize every expense. Kind of pointless. Would take less time to manually enter every transaction to an excel spreadsheet than manually changing every category. Thanks for wasting my time, Spendee!!! Initial review: Spent a couple hours setting up my account. So far it’s buggy but I’ve gotten it to do what I need. A few specifics: —took some time to figure out how to use. No clear instructions I could find. Could be there but hidden. —crashes multiple times (iPhone 6s with up to date iOS) —the whole interface isn’t intuitive. There’s no main menu you can return to that lets you start over and get your bearings. —while they allow you to customize categorization (which some competitors I’ve tried lack), its a very clunky. I’m hoping the app will recognize how I recategorize expenses upon future bill importing and updates. If not, I’ll close account. Hopefully they’ll work some of these kinks out soon. Otherwise it does what I need, which is record expenses so I can look back month to month and see where my money is going.

My husband and I have been using Spendee for almost two years now and we loved it. We are premium members and have referred our friends to this app for their budget needs. I hate budgeting and loved this app and it’s simplicity. However the last 4 updates they have released it has completely undone our accounts to the point that it has rendered the app useless to us. We have not been able to add anything to our wallet via the app or online for 3 weeks. We have contacted the support every other day for 3 weeks with little to no support or movement toward a solution. I urge you Spendee to focus on making the app work for your customers and improving the customer support. 3 weeks with very little response and help is completely unacceptable. We desperately want to stay with Spendee but you are actively forcing our hand to change. I look forward to your prompt response here since email doesn’t seem to be the way to get your attention.

I have been using Spendee for years. I enter each transaction by hand and I’m fine with that method and not connecting my bank account. My issue comes with the recurring payments that keep shifting dates. I like to double check and review all my transactions from time to time and compare them with receipts I have, but then I have to remind myself to change all the dates for my recurring bills as well. It’s highly obnoxious as I don’t have a clear idea of my monthly spending until I have done so. I was going to switch to the ‘every 4 weeks’ setting, but I know that will still cause my dates to be wrong. Please work on fixing this as many people would like to use that functionality for monthly payments (something virtually every person has).

I used to love this app. I first downloaded it when you didn’t need a premium subscription to connect your bank. It was so easy to use and by far the best budget app I had used. I upgraded to the “plus” subscription for multiple wallets. Then after a few months I would try to sync my transactions and it kept telling me “cannot connect right now please try again later”. So I tried again later, over and over, for a month. Nothing ever happened. Then I realized I needed to upgrade to premium just to connect my bank accounts. I was annoyed but said “you know what sure let’s do it”. However my plus subscription lasts until July, and when I tried to upgrade to the premium it won’t let me. It’s telling me to wait until my plus subscription is over just to upgrade to premium. How annoying, not even going to bother redownloading the app once my plus subscription is over.
