PocketSmith Sidekick 4+

The desktop programme is great but the app is lacking. It would be great if the awaiting confirmation transactions could also be seen in the app to categorise on the go. Really makes the app useless otherwise. Also the app is usually 4-5 days behind in transactions compared to the online version. So actually I don’t use the app because I can’t do much in it.

Thanks for the review. I have some good news for you about confirming your transactions! It is already possible to do this in the current version, you just need to add the transaction confirming widget to your dashboard 😀 The transactions in the mobile app should match the transactions you can view in the web app. It might be because your bank feeds are synced automatically when you log into the web app whilst this isn't currently the case with the mobile apps. Again, I have some good news about this! The next version which will be released shortly will automatically sync your bank feeds and show their status ✨

This is the companion app to the financially life changing software called pocketsmith. It gives an on-the-go overview and access to some of the PocketSmith tools.

For me the biggest benefit of this app is keeping track in real time of cash spending. But as I use it more I’m sure I’ll find many more benefits.

As for the PocketSmith software, I mean it when I say it’s financially life changing. If you want to save more, monitor and reduce spending, reach a financial goal or reduce debt, I highly recommend it. It’s powerful full featured software so be ready to spend some time learning how to use its considerable tools to get your finances on track. It’s very reasonably priced especially when you consider it paid for itself for the year twice over within an hour of me downloading it and finding some spending I could stop immediately!

Wow it sounds like you’re really make the most out of all of PocketSmith’s features! Thank you for your fantastic review, it’s made our day.

Long gone are the days when fascination at holding the internet in your hand takes priority. Why does this matter? Because expectations run limitless, and that wouldn’t be a fair conclusion to draw about the app for this BRILLIANT platform.

The PocketSmith web app is a sight to behold. Coming from a software developer with years of experience across web and mobile development, it is not easy. Not only do you need to be remarkably skilled, but the line that businesses walk in deciding how complex to make their mobile app is ever-changing and hard to pick.

Does this app do everything the website does? Not by a long shot. Should you be able to do every single thing you can on a 27” screen with a keyboard on something that fits in your pocket? I seriously don’t think so. If you need to adjust the end period of one of your budgets in one of your many categories but keep a roll over period (...you get the idea), you should be on a computer.

As far as apps go, sign in is a breeze, the colours are cohesive with their brand, and it is by no means over complicated (which could be worse than being too simple).

If you’re like me and you need to know whether you can drop a cool $50 on takeaways, look no further. Thank you to PocketSmith for developing such a stable and intuitive platform.

Thank you so much for your amazing review!

You’ve given our team the equivalent of a huge pat on the back and we’re delighted that you *get* what we’re trying to do. From one dev team to another dev, we thank you again, and hope you continue to get as much out of PocketSmith as we put into it 😀
