I started using this app in mid-January 2013 and was very excited to have such a robust and easy to use finance-tracking app in my pocket. There are a few small interface elements that can be improved, but its a four star app, as far as features and ease-of-use go.
I use the app every day and now rely quite heavily on it. Ive found it to be unexpectedly useful for looking up transactions by searching. When did we last go to the movies? Search for "Entertainment" and skim the results to find the last movie night. Or did I pay back Jon last month? Do a search for Jon and see.
The interface was clearly designed by someone who intended to use it himself; buttons and interface elements are where I expect to find them, more or less. The feature set is exactly what I want. It doesnt integrate with bank websites or anything fancy like that, and I like it this way.
Unfortunately, the app seems to no longer be under active development. The last update was in 2013 to make the screen fill the "new" iPhone 5s taller display. Since then the app has started to become less and less reliable, possibly due to library incompatibilities introduced with each iOS update. I still use the app and truly dread having to find a replacement, but I think that Ill need to at some point, unless the developer releases a bug fix update soon.
Im torn about what star rating to give. Four seems appropriate for the feature set and interface but the increased crashing and need to restore my data from a sync backup lately makes me lean more toward two stars, or even one. I just dont want to discourage people from trying it and giving the developer reason to keep working on it.
