  1. 5/5Pls Fix Bug

    loving the app so far BUT my account disconnects after a day. i have to reconnect it bc my data unsyncs after a day. bc of this, all my labels for each transition i manually update are deleted and i have redo everything… everyday… again.. 🥲 (i will gladly update my rating once the app progresses. it’s new so i understand its a wip.) this is my first budgeting app; previously i tracked with only pen/paper and then my notes app but the math has finally gotten to me after years of doing this. Finical audit has given me the reality check i needed and now Caleb is my inner voice whenever im about to make a “bad” finical decision lol. thanks for the app Caleb and team! i can’t wait to see it grow. 😊) update: for each category can we please see just those transitions labeled instead of ALL under activity. similar to what was done under budget please create separate tabs for spending, monthly, top categories instead of being on the main screen leading to activity. also needs to update in real time, temporarily does but then i have to disconnect and reconnect and go back to the endless cycle of relabeling

  2. 3/5Feature Suggestion

    What’s missing from most apps in my opinion is that ability to have a set income and automatically remove my recurring expenses from it. For example, I work in the military and my biweekly income are always the same, $1150 the first check (15th of month) and $1230 the second check (30th). From the 1st of the month to the 15th I have to pay my phone bill, internet, and renters insurance which never change so I deal with that with my second check of the month. My first check I’ll use to pay my auto loan and car insurance. Then I pay $140 in groceries weekly. The only thing that changes is my gas. So either I can tell the app how much I make monthly or biweekly and add these budgets then I can see how much money I’m getting left over with for the month instead of seeing whatever is left in my bank account because it will keep going up from saving money (ofc I have a savings but my wife puts most of her check in there). I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself correctly and how it can be incorporated in the app to help me but I’m sure there’s many of us with kind of the same simulation, especially us military people! We have to budget extremely hard lol. Of course I love Caleb and I love this idea of the app but being simple doesn’t mean it to lack features. It can be complex but intuitive, that’s what makes it simple. Hope you guys take this into real consideration!

  3. 1/5Really bad and suspicious!! Positive reviews are the owners followers that he begs to

    Okay so I don’t know anything about this guy, I downloaded the app to manage my budget. Well first thing is they want my money. Okay I don’t give it to them, and I decided to use the free version. Well, it is buggy and it doesn’t have a good user design. It literally feels like the cookie cutter apps from china you can find here. People are calling it clean design but it is because there is nothing in it!! It is an adapted excel sheet to look like an app. Then I started reading the reviews and there is no way people are loving this app that much, I mean is basic, boring and a without any afterthought on the layout. You have to go through so many menus just to make changes. Anyway, I realized this guy is a YouTuber that makes money insulting people for their spending?! And that he begs for 5 star reviews to his fan base. So I will take this recommendations with a grain of salt, in fact take the whole pound of salt because they are inflated. Anyway, reading the term of services doesn’t say how are they doing to take care of my data if I connect my bank account and it also mentions they can banned me??from an app?? Anyway, I wouldn’t connect my bank account if my life depended on it. God knows who company are they selling your data. The way this guy behaves in his show is repugnant and I wouldn’t trust my bank account to him. Be careful and ask questions! Who is the third part access g to your data and what are their dudes safeguards to protect it. Anyway, I’ll keep looking for a better app.

  4. 1/5Wanted to love it

    I downloaded this app because I love the show and figured I’d love the app. I had trouble with the bank sync. I reached out to support and didn’t hear back. I tried again and the bank accounts were syncing correctly, but I couldn’t get the activity to sync. Since the app is limited to phone or iPad only, I couldn’t find another way to upload activity. If I could access with my laptop I could probably upload with a csv file to at least get it started. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get everything started and have run into roadblocks at every turn. I reached out again via email and no response. I decided to go ahead and try to set up the budget despite the inability to load bank activity, hoping the issue would resolve. Made a typo while setting up a custom category, and was unable to edit the category name to correct the user error. I’m sure the app has great potential. Maybe I will try again another time if I don’t find another one I like to use. I also acknowledge that part of my issues could be due to user error and the fact that the app is new to me, but the lack of email response is a big turn off considering I signed up for the annual plan with a 30 day trial. I’ve been spinning my wheels to get started and didn’t want to run out of time and further delay getting started with the budget. Thanks anyway.

  5. 1/5Awful

    What was the point of purchasing the DollarWise premium upgrade if now all transactions are being duplicated because for some reason the app has duplicated all saved accounts??? And then I try to write a specific review on here because NO ONE on this app’s team moderates the “chat” which is really just a user forum, where users have been detailing these complaints for at almost 60 days now; guess what, for some reason my rating was saved but my review got deleted. I can’t even begin to explain how incredibly disappointing and counterproductive this app has been to trying to create a budget and track spending habits. This is awful. I would like a refund for my buy-in to the DollarWise premium annual subscription. Shame on Caleb Hammer and his team for spending so much time hounding users with emails pushing for a new annual payment for this newer version of the app. Shame on Caleb Hammer for spending so much time making veritable movie trailers promoting this app. Maybe instead of filming yourself being kidnapped by ninjas or whatever, you should actually sit down and exercise some oversight with your development team. This app does not work and is not useful. I am frankly disgusted in myself and Caleb Hammer for buying into the Caleb Hammer pyramid scheme. This app is little more than a representation of those ad games that never actually come with the app. Bait and switch at best, ethical failing and laundering scheme at worst. Do better. Do not use this app.

    Safe to Spend - How much money you can spend and stay on track. This is the whole reason you download a budgeting app in the first place. When you open the app, one of the first things you see is your Safe to Spend number, so you always know how much guilt-free spending you have left. Swipe to Review - It’s like a dating app for your money (minus the ghosting.) When it’s time to categorize your spending, just swipe to put your purchases into Needs, Wants, or Debt/Savings. Enhanced Categories - Most apps overwhelm you with too many categories or force you to make your own. We made it simple with 12 core categories to minimize confusion and overwhelm. 50/30/20 Display - Dollarwise is based around the 50/30/20 budgeting system, and automatically builds your budget around Needs, Wants, and Debt/Saving. So even if you’ve never budgeted, you can take control. AI-Enhanced Insights - Our new insights engine analyzes transaction patterns and generates personalized financial observations, without guilt. No loud alerts or flashing red stop signs. Just actionable insights you can use to improve your life. Dollarwise can let you know where you’ve been double-charged, where you’re spending a lot, and even gives you encouragement when you hit savings streaks and other wins. Improved Time Horizons (coming soon) - How annoying is it when an app forces you to budget by month instead of paycheck? One of our first planned updates is the ability to adjust your budget timeline to fit your pay schedule. Because you don’t fit into a box, and neither should your budget. (More coming soon.)
