Love it.
I learned about this app through Financial audit, I love you it lets you itemized the purchases from “ needs and wants” I saved over $700 Last month just by learning about my small purchases that were adding up.
Connecting bank
I wanted to try to use this app for budgeting for my future but it won’t let me connect to my bank and kinda disappointed with that and it wants me to pay for the app even though I can’t connect my bank to the app I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but not happy about it
User issues
When going through the activity page to assign each transaction to wants,needs, savings. You have to click the category you want it in like 5-7 times before it actually puts it in there. It does not do it every time, it’s every other time or more. I’ve tried closing app out and that doesn’t seem to fix the issue. It does it very frequently. Other than that perfect app.
Tried because of Caleb Hammer
I listen to a ton of financial audit while driving for work, with his baked in adds, it finally got to me to give it a shot. Let me say, I am very disappointed. Issues I have: 1. Extremely inflated income estimation that seems to come from nowhere, I made sure to go through and check all items labeled as income and yet it was calculating about 230% of my actual monthly income. 2. When sorting activity you can't click into the purchase to see what account it was from, when you have multiple accounts and some used solely by your partner or others, you don't always know what a charge is for, but if I could click to see what account, it would help me figure it out faster 3. No insights based on estimated income, in the pie chart section, I could put whatever I want in each section, so I could budget $1,000 for everything without it telling me that I'm over my monthly income that I manually put in. Should subtract from the income and show you how much you have left to distribute, and offer AI insights of where to put more money. 4. Too many options for categories, when Caleb does his budget he pretty much has housing, debt payments, TP fund, groceries, utilities/bills, fuel, and fun/misc money the app is preloaded with SOO many tags, it's so cumbersome and then your having to create your own and delete out others. 5. The app is not intuitive, I was searching Google trying to find instructions to use it and ended up finding someone's YouTube series just to get a basic understanding. Things you would think would be simple like on the home tab, it shows "income" and "fixed-spending" one would think you could click those to modify or view where it's coming from, but no such luck. 6. The insights are confusing and can be unhelpful, it's labeling my mortgage as an unusual purchase even though there's 2 years history and all are categorized yet still "unusual purchase" 7. When you are in the insights tab, and inside of each category, it gives you a bar graph of previous months. Can you click to the previous months to see transactions? No. Can you click the down arrow next to "this month" to see other months? No. This app has a LOT of potential! I love the auto syncing to the accounts, being able to connect my bank and credit and other all in one spot is awesome! But due to my experience I have actually canceled my subscription and I am not even out of the 3 day free trial yet. I am not saying I wouldn't come back but would need to see updates and fixes in order to do so. Between my experience and thinking about spending $100 a year on this app, I will go back and spend an hour on my spreadsheet to re-organize and use that. Love Financial Audit, just disappointed that the app is clunky, cumbersome, and overall not an enjoyable experience. I hope improvements are made at which point I will be back!
This is NOT free
I was caught off guard to find that this is a paid subscription app, AFTER having connected my bank accounts. I had seen this advertised as free. It’s very shady to connect banks THEN ask what payment I would like to choose. 🫣
Awesome sauce
Great app. Very easy to link bank info, and see where I can improve.
Can’t Connect my Bank Account
I downloaded this app intending to use it to help me with my spending, and see where I can make adjustments to help get out of debt and start saving. Currently I can’t get the app to work.
Great potential
I like it and enjoy it definitely fairly easy to navigate but still seems a little slow at adjusting when you make changes and can be kind of annoying
Ugh
I’m really wanting to enjoy this app. I downloaded it and submitted and accepted all of my bank accounts and credit cards. Then when I’m in the app it says I have to reconnect my information for accounts. Okay sure… did that for the main home page. Go to insights page and activity page and I have to do it again???? Why do I have to relog my information to connect it over and over again????
Mid
It’s mid feels like they are charging an unfair price for an uncompleted project
Works with all my accounts really well
Works great with all my accounts I have multiple brokerages with Robinhood and it tracks my trades really well which helps given rh has a pretty bad p&l system
Waste of money
I paid the anual version just to face constant syncing issues that support blamed on my banks (before they stopped replying). I just wonder how come the same banks don’t have the same issues with rocket money? 🤔 even the budgeting tool from Bank of America was more useful than Dollarwise! Total disappointment.
A good start to finances
I am a long time fan and downloaded the app roughly two weeks ago and connected my bank account and brokerage. I enjoy the simplicity of the app and sorting transactions by the three main categories (Want, Need, and Savings) as well as all of the subclasses you can assign for the transactions. That being said, I do wish the app use the aggregate information of the last 3 months to create a calendar that displays dates when automatically renewing purchases or subscriptions or pay day deposits are (similar to some other apps). I just think it would be a really good feature to implement in order to better track and project monthly budgets by knowing when all the bills come due by looking at a single calendar that’s already tied into the finances. Other than that, this app is a very good and simple way to track your spending and budgeting! - a less broke medical student
Solid App - Lack of security a concern
It’s a solid budgeting app with a simple GUI. However, no MFA enforcement on the account itself and no Face ID for when the app opens is a huge concern. I know you can enable Face ID as a user but security should be prioritized as a financial data company.
Very excited to use when updated
I really can’t wait to use this app when you guys are able to add the banks like VyStar to your app. Please keep us updated! Need help soon!🤣
great app
I used the built in finance tracker that my bank had and it didn’t work nearly as well. Dollarwise is so organized and took away all the clunkiness I was fed up with from using other services. Just streamlined and easy to use
Very upset
First I’m upset because I’m would like to try and find a good budgeting app to help get out of debt and get my money under control. But you only get a 2-3 day trial? And then you got to pay. That doesn’t even give me enough time to build a budget. But then I learn Caleb is out here dragging Veterans and VA “disability”. 1 it’s compensation for serving this country we live in and getting used and abused by the US Government. It’s not the same as Civilian Disability. 2 there are different levels of VA compensation and one of them is about unemployability of the service member. Screw you Caleb, I don’t even want to try you dumb app and I hope you loose followers. You’re not even good at what you do! You just harass and abuse the people on your show….
Good, but room for improvement
Premium user. It’s nice to see all accounts connected in one place. That said, I do find myself still checking my bank account somewhat regularly, as dollarwise’s figures appear to be based on the actual live balance (‘completed transactions’), not your balance accounting for posted and pending payments. This means a sometimes several hundred dollar difference between what my bank account shows as available to spend and what DollarWise suggests - meaning I could overspend if I’m not checking my actual checking account. Don’t use this app as-is for a daily check if you’re cutting it close on your checking account.
Doesn’t work very well
I had the app for one day and came across issues such as it was double counting transactions, counted my husband’s paycheck as spending, flagged our mortgage payments as “high spending”. Couldn’t fix these errors. Wasn’t intuitive to use either in the UI design. Wouldn’t recommend.
Lots of Potential
Just signed up for the free trial and when the app works, it’s great. It actually gets me excited about tackling my spending issues and helps to visualize the areas I can improve. But it crashes. And makes you login constantly. And runs you through the introduction repeatedly. Frustrating and far from smooth/seamless. Won’t be paying for the subscription when my trial is up.
Finally
It’s nice to see a budgeting app actually correctly tracks everything in an organized and easy to understand way.
Does Not Work
Connected to my bank account multiple times for it to not pull any information from it and constantly prompt me to connect it. WHILE STATING IT WAS CONNECTED. Did not show me anything useful or helpful. Did not properly import anything as it is advertised to. Very lame.
Wish List
I’ve been using the app for some time now and especially this last update has really improved the experience!! I do have some wish list items that I’m hoping will be added in a future update *Splitting *Renaming *Notes *Reports *Export _________________________ *Splitting: ability to split a transaction’s categories *Renaming: ability to rename a transaction. As of now you just get whatever the app pulls in from the bank A not always accurate or helpful for later *Notes: would be nice to be able to add a note to the transaction *Reports: reports reports reports!! I just want to be able to run the data different ways and select the date range I choose *Export: ability to export to excel and/or export reports
Could not connect Sofi bank account
Could not connect my bank account so I had to delete it. App performance is terrible and lags on pretty much any button press. Caleb needs better SWEs.
Love the idea but…
I love the idea the thought of finances stress me out and can’t not get my life sorted out but the down fall is I cannot connect my bank account to actually see the bigger picture and where to start with my finances not sure what to do I’ve downloaded and reconnected still won’t show bank or transaction
I was crashing out like a toddler
This app is good and does as advertised. In a world of content creator slop, Caleb Hammer delivers on this product. (But still a little heavy handed on the ads)
None Functionally App
Unfortunately after attempting to utilize this application, I was unfortunately met with significant lag, which hindered my ability to access the finical assistance or other advertised features. Regrettably, none of my financial information, including my spending, bills, or other relevant data, was displayed, rendering the application largely ineffective and a waste of time.
Great app
Great app that simply lays out the flow of funds. One addition that would be super helpful is a calendar view of when transactions occur with each account.
Hard to use
I liked that I was able to connect venmo but there was a lot going on! I also like that I could place the purchases in the categorize I prefer but it seemed a little messy for me
Dollarwise
Looks great but wish it synced with Canadian banks!!
Decent
Needs ux improvements but works well.
Don’t waste your time, terrible app
I downloaded the app March 2025, it wasn’t good so I deleted it. After watching financial audit 3 times a week and them talking about how it’s improved I downloaded it again and paid for the year membership. It’s still terrible, I’ve added my accounts 3 times and after each time I add them and go back to home page and the app won’t accept any of my accounts, I’m prompted with “connect your first account”
Potentially one of the best budgeting apps on the market!
I only really heard about this through financial audit. Gave it a try and got hooked. I love how simple it is to swipe and categorize my purchases through wants, needs and savings. It stupidly brilliant! I also enjoy being able to know at a glance how much more money left over at the end of month. So I can either save it, invest it or treat myself. However I do wish there was a calander so I can be able to know which days I have to pay bills, subscription, credit card balances/minimums, etc. as well as being able to go further in depth with my fiancial transactions.
No Apple Card Support
Supports every all my banking and credit accounts except my Apple Card. My Apple Card happens to be the most used card so the lack of support was a deal breaker for me. If it supported it I would gladly pay the subscription and give 5 stars. Everything else seemed nice and simple to use. There appears to be a manual way to record transactions for the card but at that point might as well use a spreadsheet for free.
good
would love to be able to use but can’t connect to my canadian bank :((
bring this to canada!!!
make this app available in canada! and make it available for smaller financial institutions like local credit unions along with the bigger banks like RBC, scotia bank, etc.
Don’t waste your time
The app layout kinda sucks, it doesn’t break down spending well at all you have to manually do everything. On top of that you get zero access to the app unless you pay first. Ironic an app that’s suppose to help you budget and track your spending requires you to pay before getting to check the app out.
Canadian bank not supported
App Looks great appears to to be well built can’t link my account which mine is TD if I could then this app would probably be 5 stars
Horrible Customer Support
As someone that loves to watch financial audit and had the app for a week or so i wanted a better understanding of how the app worked. “Kirill “ never responded back to my email after 2 WEEKS. When they said response time is 3-5 days. Never again.
Not great for Canadians
Huge fan of the show, I connected my bank but because it shows everything in USD all of my balances are 0. Will wait for a response or help maybe I missed something. Otherwise I’m cancelling my subscription
Don’t waste your time
Buggy AI built app that doesn’t let you cancel the subscription in the app. Says it sends you a login link to your email to cancel it but never does. Scummy and scammy.
The most buggy financial app
This app is so buggy, glitchy, wnd awful every time I open the app it asks me for my accounts and information over and over again. This is my 3rd time trying it and it’s still just as bad as the first.
Kept getting prompted to subscribe
I tried to access the app but kept getting the pop up to subscribe. Had no app accessibility. The old version worked okay, looking forward to the update!
Linking accounts
I tried linking 2 different accounts at the beginning and kept getting errors. If that’s the way the app was starting, it is not worth my time investment to try to further use the app
Trash
What good is this if you can’t connect your accounts? Save your money.
Dont work
I am Canadian, it does not work on my app ( Wealthsimple )
