Inconsistent

The app used to be good but now it constantly struggles to pull recent transactions and will show transactions from years ago until it is refreshed multiple times. I frequently have to sign out of the app and sign back in to fix it.
Transactions Disappear

For the last month all the transactions will disappear then a day or two later they will just reappear. It’s been doing this for a month or two. About to give up on the app.
I used to love it

Honestly I’m so sick of the updates. Every time I log in there’s an update, which is fine except it cancels connection to my banks and then it takes me forever to reconnect . And even after the reconnect the data isn’t updated so now I’ve invested hours into something that should make my life easier but is inoperable. All my data is incorrect, everything I’ve paid can’t find, all my income not tracked. I’m bummed because it didn’t used to have these issues. But now every month I remember I’m annoyed by this app because it doesn’t work when I need it.
Charged me for a subscription i didn’t ask for

I downloaded the app, tried it out for free, let it look at my spending, then deleted it 10 minutes later. I never requested a subscription because I was comparing apps. Later, while reviewing my finances, I saw a charge for the app after I had deleted it, so I had to download it again, but it said I have no active subscription. The AI chat support said to simply request a refund from Apple, but I shouldn’t have to do that for a faulty charge.This seems very sketchy.then answered my review stating that i probably did a free trial and forgot to cancel. If that were true then there woukd ve an active subscription. The apo says no active subscription and i know that i did not do a free trial. It was not worth a free trail just from looking around the app for a few minutes. Im not askinf for a refund because it was just $12. I am warning other users not to put their bank info in this app. I see many other 1 star reviews saying the same thing so its not an isolated incident.
Great App

PockerGuard is easy to use and a simple way to track expenses
Mind blowing

I’ve found this to be an extremely helpful budgeting and expense tracking app ever since purchasing it a couple years ago. Definitely worth the month. But the most recent update with the Insights tab has actually blown me away! Somehow this visual representation and the ability to slice and dice info in different ways takes this app to a whole new level. Amazing and wonderful. Definitely helpful and worthwhile for anyone who wants insight into their finances.
The frickin new 5.20.1 update

Let’s go!! Finally, PocketGuard is getting with the times and giving us more analysis tools in the app. I’ve been using this app faithfully for over a year and it’s been sooo simple. Almost too simple. Since I’ve had it, in order to really analyze data I’ve had to export it to excel and make charts and stuff from there. Glad the goons who made this app are figuring out how to code this thing better. Probably with Claude lol. Now just stop locking months when they’re done. If people are too dumb to not mess up their finances after the months over, that’s not your problem. But it’s annoying the heck out of the rest of us. Keep adding cool gadgets, fellas.
The Decline of an App

By VIZ_321
I’ve been using this app for the past few years and it has gotten worse with each update. Removing the ability to easily compare spending among categories between the current and past months was the final straw. To make matters worse, the insight section that replaced it is unintuitive and isn’t even completed. Why release an update when 2/3 of the tools aren’t even completed? It’s sad to see a great app slowly decline and become unusable.
Update makes it unusable

By Baxinator1
This used to be such an amazing tool. I was easily able to see what I was spending in each category and compare month to month. With the newest update, every time I click on the breakdown of categories, the app forces closes. There’s no way for me to tell what I’m spending in each category. I also can’t compare categories month to month.
August 2026 update

Huge downgrade in UI. Went from a simple budgeting tool to an over analytical version.
I subscribe to the KISS method. This recent update will make me cancel the subscription and get a different app.
