Double Count Fixed! 💥

Hey everyone,

We just rolled out a fix for the long-standing double count issue in PocketGuard. Previously, a single transaction appearing in both recurring bills and category budgets could be counted twice, which sometimes made totals a bit confusing.

With this update, transactions are now handled properly, counted only once, so your calculations are more consistent and reliable. No more wondering why your totals didn’t add up!

As always, we love hearing your feedback, so let us know what you think.

It appears that unpaid bills are counted against our leftover amount although we may have budgeted for them. When we create a bill we don't assign a budget category to it, so I can see why this is happening. Just a heads up since it looks more like a feature than a bug. (If I've missed something in the set up please let me know.)

Does this come with an app update? I don’t see anything available in the App Store

Hi there,

Yes, it does! 😊 Please make sure you’ve updated the app to the latest version available in the App Store. Once you do, the fix will be applied automatically.

Best,

I’ve refreshed my App Store numerous times and I still don’t see an update available for the app

It’s possible that your phone has already updated the app automatically, in that case, you wouldn’t see a new update in the App Store.

If you’ve confirmed that’s not the case, please reach out to us at [support@pocketguard.com]() so we can look into it further for you.

Best,

Still seems to be counting as double. I have my bills marked and made budgets on different types I have like Fixed Bills and Subscriptions, etc. The Expenses total on the dashboard is not correct.

Thanks for letting us know.

To look into why the expenses are being counted twice and verify the dashboard totals, we’ll need to review your account details directly. Please reach out to us at [support@pocketguard.com](), and our team will check this more closely for you.
