…er reason doubled my transactions and I had to manually remove them. I wish I could delete everything and start over, but it doesn’t seem to offer that feature. I had neglected this app for months and it’s tedious to go back 10 months just to get the app to track things properly. I head from the Ramsey network there…

Also, it is frustrating to use with credit cards as we pay them off every month (which I guess makes sense since it's Ramsey). Will not be continuing after my year subscription is over and will likely be going to Monarch.

Questions about this idea
- Is Manual entry duplication in transaction tracking a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 22 different people described it independently, in 22 mentions, the earliest from 14 Sept 2025 and the most recent from 19 Sept 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 1 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
