Spendee Budget & Money Tracker

Anna Murray

One of the best apps I've seen so far that connects to Irish banks! Being able to automatically load and sort transactions is key. Graphs are pretty and the articles offer good advice. I wish the budget feature were a little more sophisticated - you can set budgets for categories but they don't interact with each other or your total income - there's no way to set savings goals and easily tweak your budgets accordingly (eg with a slide bar), you still need to work that out yourself.

Spendee is far and away the best budget app for our purposes. It syncs quickly to the cloud so my wife and I can share transactions. It's easy to use. It allows creating "wallets" for when you just want to track some transactions without scraping data from your bank account. This is extremely useful for us, because credit card transactions often take days or even weeks to be registered as complete. This way we can get those points and make sure we don't spend too much!

Biggest plus with this app is the biweekly budgeting. Some major down falls though. 1. If you set up budgets in Android you can't see them in iOS. 2. People you share wallets with can't see your actions in the wallet and you can't see theirs so it ends up being pointless 3. Can't change categories on "pending" transactions so they end up effecting the wrong budgets. 4 you can't set up your biweekly income. 5. Can't leave notes on credit card transactions. 6. Bank syncing is awful in android. You have to exit the app without closing it and reenter it several minutes later for it to show it did anything. All these fixed would make for an outstanding app. Mint would have you beat if they had a bi-weekly budgeting option.

I've been using this app for about three years and continue to be pleased with it. So much so that I actually paid for it after using the free version for most of that time. Customer service has been helpful and quick and the customizeable categories are super handy for running a small business and tracking categories for tax purposes. Becaude most transactions are in cash I hand enter all my data except for a few reoccurring expenses and it's pretty simple. User interface is mostly intuitive.

I used this app for a while, it was great, I got a subscription. Then it stopped working and could no longer access my info at all. I stopped using it for a year due to this flaw and now I am being charged again. I went to cancel and the help center had "we can't help you 🤷‍♂️" (complete with shrug emoji). I ended up finding and cancelling it. I still do not recommend an app that is inconsistent like this. I really wish it was useable though.

No subcategories and it's difficult to track refunds. Returns considered income and so it's hard to see true expense when there may be a return associated. Problem solved if categories weren't locked into income and expense but instead just listed as a simple category then it can show true expenses. Otherwise auto bank sync is very useful and it's not a bad app. Just maybe not for me.

I have been using this app for 1.5 yrs to track my household expenses. And I love it. However lately I've noticed a glitch that it will show the last couple days transactions in the next month, throwing off my whole budget. Example, it showed December 31 st transactions in the month of January..it will keep the date as December but adds into both December and January

I love this app....when it works. It is buggy and I get the "something went wrong" error message a whole lot. I also have had it double the auto pay on various days, which is a huge problem if you don't catch it. I keep deleting and downloading it again to clear the error message. It works, for now.

I NEVER leave reviews, but the new update compelled me to come write one. I hate everything about the update. I've used spendee for years and now the app is so difficult to use and takes forever to find things that used to be so easy to see. To this day I still don't know where they moved the setting to turn on fingerprint verification for security. Also, every time I add a transaction now the app buffers for 5EVER. I now regret getting the lifetime subscription, such a waste of a good app!
