MoneyStrands: Personal Finance App Reviews

I really wanted this app to work too. Seemed like a better Level.

I wanted this app to work so bad but it wont connect my accounts. I tried to contact support and was told to contact someone else. When I contacted them, I got an automatic "out of the office" reply and no answer. I also wish there was a way to add two accounts from the same place. I have 2 Bank of America credit cards. Please fix it! It would be a great app if it worked!

The app is very intuitive and easy to use. Very helpful in order to have all the accounts in only one place in minutes. The graphs are amazing! Thanks.

This is one of the better apps. I enjoy that it syncs up with the web and allows transactions to be updated. I would like to see a better way to track credit card accounts and update categories from the app. Occasionally it doesnt update when u select refresh but seems to come around eventually. Overall good

Am amazed that some people find this application good at all. I wonder what it is that they find so good about it. Cannot update add accounts from the iPhone. Cannot even sign in on the iPhone. Asks for flash drive to sign in. So how can anyone even compare this with mint or even Att mobile which work so flawlessly on the iPhone. Who are these people?

Havent used the app much yet but I liked the website

Im broke all the time. This app helps me keep track of how poor I am.

You can budget, review transactions and just see where all your money is going. Times are tough so you need to manage money wisely.

Poor.

Basic service with limitations is free, but everything is manual. Have to pay for monthly plan if you want real-time auto update and syncing. Mint dies this for free. When will someone have an app that can sync bank accounts AND allow manual entry of transactions from iPhone?

Was good prior to 2/1/11. Then they re vamped everything and also added charges for tiered options. Only thing I like that was added is the bill tracker, but now everything else that used to work no longer does. Things dont update, or the overview screen shows the wrong values. Horrible

Doesnt update accounts after entering a transaction. And ads?! What for? We all know this app is good only when used with accounts with automatic updates which by the way are a premium paid service. why should I see ads after paying for the annual subscription?

No updates, slow. Cant add from phone. Paid good money. Ill update in 1 month upon further review. I really hope this works, I need an app like this as I run 5 houses and an HUGE budget. Jon dot Vasquez at gee mail dot comm

This version is a bit better on the whole with a cleaner and neater look however problems abound. Firstly, it takes FOREVEr to load which makes me wonder if its even worth using iphone to keep track of finances since by the time it loads, its likely I have already been hit by car. Secondly, more of cosmetic issue, I keep track of money in RMB, but every time I enter transaction in app, it comes out as dollars. The problem does not complicate syncing, but it would be nice if there was continuity in the app and website. I will say its an improvement overall, but this app still needs quite a bit of work.

• Full feature access requires a premium subscription • Many website features remain under development • There are better planned apps than this one

The update looks great, needs a little tweaking but looks like someones finally going to give frustrated mint people like me something else to try! Update: Need to make the interface look nicer (mint has THAT part right), not sure why it doesnt sync automatically. iPad??? If Im going to pay for it, I want an iPad app. Keep working on it.

The app is pretty complete and well done, but no auto-update makes the whole money strands service less useful now. Its annoying that after you categorize something you have to start over with the most recent transactions and spend the time scrolling to older transactions again. This is one of the most useful apps I have, though!

Its good but I just wish the autoupdate worked

This is a helpful app, being able to manage money quickly. Nice!

This is a good app for looking at your debt in one place. There is one issue with some debt showing up as an asset, so it is hard to tell you total debt amount.
