MetLife Personal Finance App 4+

Good app, especially the articles under explorer

Love the articles, but navigating around the app can be slow and unresponsive. When linking with bank account, the app doesn’t automatically tells you it has been done. When changing a spending category to a different category, it doesn’t show up on the app. Example: change from health to education. Please fix that.

Only partially replacing Mint budget

I know I shouldn’t expect it to be a full replacement but here are some features I wished I had; option to omit certain accounts from monthly budget view, split transactions to multiple categories (this is very critical since it is common to cover a full cost of something- meals, groceries, concerts- but get reimbursed separately), hide select transactions from budget (similar reasons for splitting), and have subcategories budget line items like groceries vs restaurants instead of just Food & Dinning (I know I can manually filter but not a good holistic view from the main budget screen). Additionally the app back button drives me crazy, I think because the main bottom navigation disappeared on me, i couldn’t just go “home” and got stuck in a loop. Will keep using the app for now but so far not meeting my expectations.

Simple, helpful, impactful

The app is really easy to understand and provides me the ability to track my spending. I did not know I was spending so much on dinning out/ takeout. That was a real aha moment for me. I could also take action on this by taking the dinning out challenge. I really like daily spending comparison to last months - makes me want to log in every other day to see how I am doing.
