PocketGuard: Money and Budget for Android
The app has been wonderful in helping my family watch what we are spending in order to save more for a home. We connected all our accounts and enabled additional pockets to know exactly where we need to spend less. Another great thing about the app is setting a Savings goal, it's very motivating!
Great app, but pretty buggy with my Chase account. Two factor authentication didn't work after the initial install. It changed the name of merchants to some very strange things. Sent in multiple emails to support but never got any response. It's a great idea and I would rate it 5 stars if it didn't fail so miserably with Chase and if they would respond to support email.
Great app with many useful features. PocketGuard also gives awesome recommendations on paying off credit card debts, student loan refinancing etc. But what I liked the most is the offer to lower my bills. First I had doubts, but then doubted that PocketGuard would recommend a tricky service and agreed to have one of my bills lowered. I still can't believe it happened so fast and easy!
More than satisfied with the app. When I enabled the additional pockets in general Shopping cartegory, I was shocked to see how much I spend on clothing and it helped me to reduce my expenses and save hundreds last month. Premium membership is totally worth its price.
This app is kinda everything in one and honestly, they do it pretty well... My only complaint is that I'm not going to pay $3.99 a month for premium to just add cash and some icons, I'd definitely be down for a one time purchase of those though
Helps keep things in order. Started Plus free trial and the option to enable more pockets looks really promising.
I use cash a lot and it was a real headache trying to track my cash spending in excel docs till I tried this app. PocketGuard helped me to solve this problem and I'm happy now with my yearly Plus plan
Definitely the most comprehensive bill management/budget app I've ever come across. Highly recommend it. You can see all your accounts on the main screen and it adds all your spending habits and categorizes it automatically. Easy to link your accounts. Wow, seriously such a convenience. Also, your overall networth, what your income is projected to be based on previous bank statements, and how much you've spent over how much you've made each month. So many good things. Five stars
Asks me random security questions to connect my bank account, so I can't connect it. Therefore I can't use the app
Except of being a great budgeting app, PocketGuard is pretty good at choosing services to partner with. I already lowered two of my bills with Billshark and saved $154 per month in total.
I've tried a few other budgeting apps, but none of them had the option to add hashtags to transactions and see reports or the option to lower my bills. Great app!
Started using Plus plan to track cash and add more pockets and really like both features, they helps me have a full picture of my finances.
Pocketguard is a super-cool app! I really like its design and it has all the features I need, even cash account. I give this app an A
This app is tremendous! I have found ways to monitor my money and make sure I don't spend it on stupid things.
PocketGuard it great! It helps keep me up to date in my spending and where I can cut back...
Love this app. My wife and I have it on both our phones so we can document what we buy and keep within our budget.
Gorgeous disign, useful graphs, many budgeting features, cash account, spendin reports — the app has everything I need!
PocketGuard is one of the apps that I check daily. It's great for seeing all of my accounts in one place.
Great app helped my 16 year old get her finances on track without confusing her.
So awesome, easy, and a huge time saver with bank downloading. I'll never switch!
This app allows me to effortlessly track and categorize every single transaction. Very practical.
It's just awesome how it's organizes your spending and updates you when spending to much. I love it!!
It works the way it's intended and everything is neat and organized. No complaints
Very handy to have all my stuff in one secure place
Super useful when you're trying to track your spending.
Super handy to look at all your accounts in one app
Definitely helps keep my finances in order. Use it everyday.
Customer service is very good even though this service is free
I love this app- I recommend every chance I get
Great way to keep track of your money.
Love it..
So far i find it to be very good. I have used alot of different finance apps including mint. which is a close second because its free. i still use prism to keep track of my bills because i can actually log into the accoumts. as far as budgets i feel this will be my go to app. ill need a good month to see how its keepimg me in check. heck just for the fact i can get my balances in one screen is nice.. specially with 6 plus credit cards how can i be a beta tester?
Why pull back existing features from your users, like the more refined categories for expenses, and ask them to pay to get them back? Especially after investing a lot of time into making sure everything was clustered well. This is just terrible user experience… except if you are in the drug dealing business, of course…
I wish I found PocketGuard a few years ago, it would help me save thosands over the years. It's great that you added the cash account and the option to add some specific pockets to spending report and set limits for them. Looking forward to having more features in the premium plan.
Amazing support! Get help whenever I need it. I've been using this app for a few years already and really like that it keeps improving. Adding the premium features was a great idea as I hope it will bring you money to keep making the app better with every release.
Intuitive layout, great design, free budgeting tools, premium plan has cash account and additional pockets that are very useful in terms of budgeting because can be added to spending pie-chart.
Awesome app to see my income and spendings. It's great that it helps to track not only bank transactions but also cash.
Good app. Like the premium option to turn on and off some categories, it makes my spending reports clear and easy to understand
Easy to use, just what I was looking for. Would highly recommend this budget app.

I dont understand why this doesn't have a higher star rating and more downloads. I don't normally do reviews but this one deserves a higher star rating. Also I will pay for the premium service even though I probably won't use the 2 things it adds but because there giving you a free app to help you improve your finances that they should have people pay for because of all there hard work at making it and designing it in a way that is so easy to use. I hope the app keeps growing and it should be the number 1 app on the play store for managing money.
