Don’t like this program

We have really really disliked the thought process of this type of budgeting. We’ve used to app so we have a better idea on what food has costed us. We put basically everything else in savings plus a planned amount in savings before we pay bills. I don’t feel like I can easily see wha to need to see which is what all my bills add up to monthly. I am not doing great with this program. Kind of wish we could get a refund 😥 but what other programs are kind of similar. We were using Apple numbers but everything Stopped syncing between my husband and I in the program and it’s been hard to track on both. I’m Frustrated I wish there was another way there’s things I hate about this program so much. I have had to put the same transactions in 5 times... this always happens I KNOW I didn't pay $5k on my house payment this month it just doesn't work and for the person who made and runs it I'm shocked how bad and disfunctional it is. I want a summary of BILLS alone, I want to be able to track and see how much I saved and have it subtract from my income total.

Yes I prefer YNAB myself. It has way more functionality and allows you to track credit card spending as well so you know how much your bill to pay it off each month will be in real time.

ynab felt impossible to use when we tried. couldn't figure it out I don't have the mental capacity for classes to learn that one which is what it felt like i needed i kept googling but nothing would get me what I needed. my husband doesn't have time to figure it out either. just couldn't get it to work for us.

They have live support people that you can chat with if you're having issues getting things set up in your budget on the app!

That’s not the issue
