Major Highlights of the Week

Subscription Cancellation Issues
Users face significant challenges when attempting to cancel subscriptions, often encountering hidden processes and unresponsive support, leading to unauthorized charges. This creates a negative user experience and damages trust in the app's financial management capabilities.
I tried to cancel my subscription, but the app made it a long-winded process, and I was still charged £9.99 monthly.
Misleading Free Trial
The app's free trial is perceived as misleading, with users unexpectedly charged for annual subscriptions without clear notice or permission, causing financial distress. This practice undermines the app's credibility as a tool for financial responsibility.
I was charged £41.99 without notice after the free trial, which sent me into an unarranged overdraft.
Limited Free Features
The app restricts access to essential features behind a paywall, frustrating users who expect more functionality from a free budgeting tool. This limitation diminishes the app's perceived value and utility.
The app is useless unless you pay for the full version, as all useful features are locked.
Inaccurate Subscription Tracking

Even after disabling notifications, I still receive multiple daily alerts about winning prizes.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app has amazing insights and a great UI, but the weekly report could be more relevant. Also, don't increase the fees as you're already pushing it.
EvydaObe
The app is good for consolidating all accounts in one place, but it's very limited unless you sign up for subscriptions. Even then, the higher tier ones are needed to add more than a few linked accounts.

I received a prompt response and felt the team really cared about my experience with Emma! I was not expecting such great support!
