PocketGuard App Review

Has helped me a lot
I have had the app about 6 or 7 months and have really liked it. I’m an accountant and someone who checks my bank accounts every morning and my goal was to pay off my credit card debt. I’ve done that now and this has helped me do it. I always was someone who used to use excel or paper budgets but my issue was I would lose track because I didn’t want to carry my budget with me. I paid for the premium and I have a few different banks, a few incomes, and I love that you can edit the transactions. I noticed at couple months ago some of the bills were glitching a little but they updated it really soon after that and it has gone back to normal which has shown me that although there are sometimes little bugs they are prompt to fix them. I will continue to use this and do recommend it to people who are wanting to get more serious about managing money.

The BEST budgeting app out there
Can I just start off by saying I downloaded and tried using so many budgeting apps. I did lots of research to find the best rated apps and tried them all. I found this app and I will never look back! I needed a budgeting app that would track my spending, track my savings goals, and clearly show me where I was going over. This app does it all. I also do a lot of transferring money from one account to another, I’ve had trouble tracking this on other apps. PocketGuard let’s you easily hide transfers so they don’t confuse your budget. Same goes for credit card payments or other random charges I don’t want counted towards my spending or savings goals. The app also gives you a breakdown of your month with pie charts and statistics. It also lays out all the information I need in a clear way that makes it easy to understand. My husband and I both love this app and plan on using it for many years to come.

Great customer support through 3rd party frustrations
I've been a customer of PocketGuard for over a year. Integration with American Express, via a third party connector, has been an issue. However, from my experience with Mint and other personal finance apps, that's normal. AmEx seems difficult to work with; at least their API. The difference with PocketGuard is that their customer service continues to push for stability of the connector and provides amazing customer support communication along the way. I felt valued and informed throughout, and eventually the issue was resolved. I always like to know that my voice is heard when I have a problem, and with PocketGuard, it is.

I searched for a long time to find a replacement for another app, but I am very satisfied with this one. The simplicity of the app is remarkable. Keep up the good work PocketGuard team

The hard part of tracking finances is that there are unexpected things every month for our family. I love how this is flexible and gives you all of your committed money for the month at a glance on one screen.
