    Complete junk

    I feel this app just makes random info up regarding your “subscriptions” then makes you feel good when you “cancel” it. I would not recommend this app to anyone.

  • user·783dApp Storev17.0.08d agoon the store ↗

    Irony

    The app to help you save money and keep track of subscriptions.. forces a subscription. It also has you go through the entire process of making an account and linking it to your bank account just to say “oh and also you have to pay money”. Thank you for this terrible app design, so now I have to spend more of my morning unlinking everything.

    I wanted to like this app. But it's so buggy it shows my car payment 50x in a single month! How ridiculous. Uninstalling and never installing again no matter how much you spam me with your annoying ads!

    This app is terrible

    I love when I go on a mobile app on my phone and it tells me there was an error trying to connect me that I need to go to a different browser but then when I do that nothing happens why even have an app if you’re gonna have things like this keeping people from making an account

  • user·ed45App Storev17.0.09d agoon the store ↗

    Useful but have to pay

    Downloaded the app to help see where my money was going and budget. The free version works fine but only lets you sent 2 budget categories other than bills and utilities. I wanted to make specific categories for my money, to do that I would have to pay a subscription. The ads also say that the app will cancel unwanted subscription for you. This is only an option if you pay. I think it’s kinda hypocritical of the app to offer to save you money then charge you to do the main thing they advertise. I still use the app for budgeting but fell like the free option should allow for more categories.

    Stole my money

    I had a savings goal to save up for a car, but ended up deleting it early because i had a loan and the money was coming straight out of my checking account automatically to pay for my loan. the app said the savings goal would stop taking money from my account but it was continuing to take various amounts from my checking account for a month. i tried to talk to a representative but they only had an ai on the app and when they ai finally connected me with a real person i waited three days for them to text me (they don't have a phone number, just the chat feature) and they never did. thankfully my bank got my money back, but i did not trust the app afterwards and immediately deleted it

  • user·c2cfApp Storev16.6.016d agoon the store ↗

    Needs work

    It doesn’t actually make it easy to track spending. It drops transactions completely and most of the time I couldn’t get them back. Whatever they use to recognize a transaction and categorize it appropriately does not work well. If you lose the connection to an account, when you reconnect it, it just duplicates all the transactions that were already in there and you can’t delete a transaction that is duplicated, you can only “ignore” it. It really needs a function where you can import transactions from a spreadsheet (csv or something). The manual adding of transactions is not helpful because there’s no way to attach it to the account it should be on! It’s just a mess in so many ways. I will say that customer service tries to be helpful. They often couldn’t solve the problem, but it really seemed like they tried and/or wanted to.

    Hidden fees and charges!

    Do not use this app! There are no actual humans you can talk to you no phone number and I just discovered even after canceling my membership. I have two years worth of charges at $3.27 randomly and I still to date cannot get someone to help me cancel this or get these charges off. I’m literally having to contact the credit card companies and or go through legal matters again. Do not use this app!! they are so unhelpful and basically you’re talking to robots there’s not even a human available!!! if you are using them or canceled them, check your credit cards to make sure you’re not getting charged hidden fees that you aren’t even aware of!!! so frustrating!

  • user·6840App Storev16.6.017d agoon the store ↗

    The ads heavily oversell it

    I’ve had this app for several years (since it was still called Truebill), and it works well for general money management and budget tracking, but the features that are heavily advertised just don’t work. Every time I’ve tried to cancel a subscription through the app, I get an error. It keeps counting cancelled subscriptions as active, and the categorization is a mess. It even missed a subscription I had been double paying for for several months (I ended up finding that out on my own through my bank account). I keep using it because I was grandfathered in at a lower subscription price, but I probably wouldn’t use it if it wasn’t so cheap.

    Shifting to pure greed—Canceled.

    I am officially canceling my subscription. I created this account solely for the Bill Negotiations feature. Moving it behind an exclusive Premium+ paywall and fluffing up the tier with AI tools is pure corporate greed. The bill negotiation was the only feature truly worth paying a subscription for in the first place. Every other "tool" Rocket Money offers—basic budgeting, tracking subscriptions, and setting goals—can be done better elsewhere on other platforms completely for free. I refuse to pay a monthly premium just for the privilege of letting you negotiate a single bill at a time. Shifting the goalposts like this is a terrible way to treat users. As a little tip for anyone else leaving: when you go to cancel, the app will literally beg you to stay by offering a discounted rate of $2.99 a month. But who would want to pay even $2.99 a month for a service that just took away the entire purpose of having the app in the first place? Absolute joke. Goodbye.

  • user·6da3App Storev16.5.019d agoon the store ↗

    Scam

    Seems great but they help you cancel subscriptions yet charge you a subscription fee. Hard to cancel. Always trying to upgrade your account. I never upgraded and they still cant figure out why they are charging me every month. They don’t know their own subscription system and they are supposed to help with subscriptions

    ADS!

    Its Crazy that I give them money every month and still the number one ad i see. Ive seen 6 in the past hour. Im no expert on ad cost but i know it ain’t cheap. The more ads i see from a company the less i want to give them money..
