They trick you into selecting a “trial” instead of making it obvious that you can start a free account. I cancelled my account to try and start again and now it’s not allowing me to open an account. What a waste of time

I switched to PocketGuard like a lot of people when mint was integrated with credit karma and they didn’t offer budgeting anymore which was my primary use for it. PocketGuard works really well and is user friendly. I wish there was an option for quarterly, bi-monthly, or annual budgets. I have a few and it can be frustrating to get an accurate depiction of my finances and monthly spending. Hopefully that’s something that is in development.

The latest update has made the app buggy and slow. My categorizations keep getting reset!

The Apple Watch app isn’t allowing me to see In My Pocket, just Budgets. This is not what the screenshots show. Otherwise, the iPhone app itself is quite good.

Tried many budgeting apps, this is the best. Intuitive and does what i need. I’m retired and mind my budget with this app and will probably use it till I die.

I don’t get all of the good reviews, this app is one of the worst. The UI is from the 90s, all features require a subscription, and those features aren’t actually that good. Lastly, they way they connect your data means that Plaid is taking your information and selling it. See the $58 million settlement for Plaid. I’ve requested a refund, through Apple and their customer service.

Disappointed that it doesn’t synch with Apple Pay like Monarch does. Would consider switching back if it did. Synchs with all the other bank accounts and loans nicely.

I’ve been pleased with the user interface as a recovering Mint user trying to move on. I can’t give PocketGuard 5 stars though because it’s missing some obvious features. They seem like possible easy fixes so maybe there’s hope! Pros: Mint Import, split transactions, manual cash transactions, nice monthly trends, Web access, Wise account connects (using Plaid link). One time purchase (find in iOS for $80), shared user for Budgeting. Cons: auto categorization is poor - most of my transactions have to be manually changed (supposedly it will learn tho as I creat rules. The worst part is that there are NO SuBCATEGORIES?! The graphs are nice, but you’ll need a lot of custom categories or just general overview with no subcategories, seems like an odd miss for a tracking app. Also no multi Currency (unlike Wallet and Spendee), rollover budgeting still in roadmap, no iPad oriented App (unlike Buddy and Wallet). Accounts are sometime not updated - it seems like it does not have manual refresh for all accounts?

All the budgeting plan charge you monthly. This is not a free app. Don’t even bother downloading.

My biggest problem with Pocket guard is that when I go to check my accounts, I can’t view them all on one page, I have to scroll down to see them all so I end up writing them down on paper which kinda negates the advantage of having them listed on an app. Secondly, I can’t check my latest transactions in each account. The transactions are listed but it is not easy to see which account they were made from or what category they might belong to. Thirdly, I find it would be more helpful to have my accounts listed in ranked order from greatest to least. Fourth, the option to log out should be on the main screen, or at least at the top of the drop down menu. I miss Mint.
