Great for Canadians except CIBC
Hello team, I love this app, as my RBC bank accounts syncs seamlessly. It's CIBC (Costco Mastercard) that I have to continuously manually sync them, as it says sync issues. If this can be resolved, I'd be a 5 star for me.

Great UI, functionality, etc. Would be great, but won't connect to my Canadian credit union account. It did connect to my Canadian bank. I would have kept the app & paid for it if it worked with my credit union. Still looking for an alternative to Mint :(

No More "In My Pocket"
I'm really disappointed that you got rid of the "in my pocket" feature. I stuck with this app, despite its shortcomings and frustrations, due to the in my pocket feature, which as far as I know was unique to this app. Now I have no reason to continue using it and I will look for a new one. No, the "leftover" feature is NOT the same.

Keeps locking me out of my bank
PocketGuard has acknowledged that an issue with their data provider is causing a sync problem with one of my banks. This started more than a week ago. The impact of this issue is that the bank is locking me out every single day due to failed login attempts. The app does not provide an option to delete banks. After asking support how to delete the back and getting no acknowledgement of the question, I discovered on my own that you can log in to the website through a browser to delete banks. However, the delete option is grayed out on the bank with the sync issue. Tech support just tells me they're working on it, no ETA, they'll let me know when they learn something, but does not acknowledge my question any deleting that bank so I stop getting locked out while they work on it. This is completely unacceptable. I generally like the app, but it's not worth being locked out by banks.

Will not connect to RBC
This is the second issue I've had with a similar app. It will not sync to RBC. Maybe it works better for people in the US, but will not work in Canada.

Not user friendly
I want to like this app! I paid the $75 so I plan on using it but it is not user friendly. I've had several questions and contacted them but no one ever gets back to you. I'm frustrated. I'm not saying don't get it.. just be aware it might be hard to figure out.

The latest update running on Android 14 is buggy and crashes often. It also doesn't prominently display how much money I have left anymore. Otherwise solid budget tracking app

Wants a subscription to cancel my subscription also wants subscription to show my expenses even after linking bank account would rather use a money manager app and do it all manually instead of this garbage
PocketGuard Budget, Bill, Debt - Product Description
PG - PocketGuard is a free budgeting app for people who want to be on top of their money. Personal finance made simple by smart algorithms, which means budgeting with PocketGuard is so easy that you don't have to spend your entire life crunching numbers. We take care of all the routines like expense tracking and bill monitoring so you can clearly focus on money management operations.

Always know what's in your pocket!
Basically, a budget is a difference between income and expenses. If it's positive - you're doing well. In any other case, the budget is unbalanced and needs attention. This is where the "IN MY POCKET" feature takes action. How much disposable income do you have after paying your bills, saving for your goals, and setting aside enough money for needs and wants? PocketGuard budgeting app does those calculations for you! Always know the actual safe-to-spend amount so you can fit your monthly budget.  

Comprehensive analytics!
Budget and expense tracking are just a part of the story. If you wanna do money management the right way you need to learn from the data you track. PocketGuard free budgeting app provides you with various reports to let you see personal finances from different angles. Learn about your spending habits, make necessary adjustments, optimize your monthly budget.

Bill tracker and subscription manager!
You can use PocketGuard as a bill organizer. Once you connect bank accounts the app starts working as a finance tracker. All your bills and subscriptions will be identified automatically and included in your monthly budget. The bill organizer will help you never miss the due date again.

Do you want to lower your bills? Of course, you do! PocketGuard bill organizer gives you an easy way to negotiate better rates with your provider. So you can optimize your budget by cutting costs on services you use. PocketGuard subscription manager will help you to find subscriptions you might have forgotten about. This is another money management trick - stop paying for services you no longer need.  

Set and reach your financial goals!
Goals are a key concept of budgeting. As was mentioned before, expense tracking is just a part of the story. Personal finance is made of goals. Let's say you want to spend less on shopping or to save more for vacation. These are financial goals. PocketGuard budget app gives you all the necessary tools to set them properly.

Set up your debt-payoff plan!
Nobody's perfect and almost anyone has debt to pay off. The question is: do you have a plan? Connect all your credit and loan accounts and we'll show you the way to a debt-free future. Our smart algorithm calculates the most profitable debt repayment strategy so you'll save hundreds or even thousands by paying less in interest!

BANK-LEVEL SECURITY
We use the same 256-bit SSL encryption as all major banks to ensure your sensitive information is safe and sound. The PocketGuard app also uses PIN code and biometrics, like Touch ID & Face ID, as an additional security layer.
