Rocket Money - Bills & Budgets 4+

Missing Two Things

I love this app, and it is VERY user friendly. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable budgeting/bills app. There are two things that I think would set this app apart from other budgeting apps and really take it above and beyond:

1) Create your own category: The categories are great, but I would love if we could create and name our own categories, and then apply transaction rules to them just like every other category. I have some purchases that are odd-ball, and they kind of fit in one category and kind of work for another, but having my own that I can apply my expense cap to and work into my budget would make life so much easier.

2). Rollover budgeting: Oh how much better I would feel making a “bigger than my budget allows” purchase if I knew that I had THIS amount total I didn’t spend from my budget last month that can rollover to the next month and build and build and build. I know RocketMoney does a “Left for Savings” spot for income - expenses, but that doesn’t really me “you can take the remaining unused money from last month and use it for successive months.” Even if I do ultimately put that into savings, I would like to see a dedicated spot for a rollover budget.

They Figured It Out

I have had an endless number of budget apps throughout my years and everytime I download one it is just missing something that would make it perfect. Rocket Money is the first app I’ve used that gets everything right. I can split purchases, make my own categories, share with my husband, ignore transactions, get spending reports, create a budget that shows my savings, and tracks my subscriptions. Not to mention their customer service is fantastic. They’re always quick to respond and happy to help.
I paid for this app last year and ended up cancelling only because I was stressed and practically deleted everything on my phone. When I got back into the swing of things and started paying attention to our budget again, I immediately thought of Rocket Money. Seriously, the app makes my life so easy.
I have used the lower my bill option and it worked great.
I prefer to cancel subscriptions on my own but the fact that that’s an option is really fantastic. When I first downloaded the app last year I found like $50 a month going towards subscriptions I thought I’d canceled. Getting rid of those felt like a little pay raise.
Thanks for getting it right Rocket Money.

I’M NOT HAPPY

I’ve signed up with true blue a few months ago. I have used to pay advance at least twice that I know of. This month, starting on March 20 roughly, I tried doing a pay advance for $200 just because I knew my son who is in college was going to need a couple extra things. I upgraded to gold, I upgraded to premium, I did everything I could and every time I would hit the button to get paid in advance it would decline me. I tried asking questions and it always said it takes about a day for a response either where I texted you at or in my email. I never, NEVER received one returned message. Now, I understand my account and money situation is not your guises problem. However I get on here this morning and it says if I want to use pay advance to upgrade to premium it was seven dollars. I hit the button, I hit pay in advance so it would put the $200 in my account. Any ideas of what happened? NOTHING!!! But since you guys don’t have a person to talk to to explain the situation it’s just an automated system I’ve now accrued three or four overdraft fees. I can’t thank you guys enough for helping me out with this situation. I would not let me repeat this I would not recommend you guys to anybody!
