Ask HN: Are Personal Finance Apps Falling Short for Anyone Else?
4 by srcc0de | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hi! I hope this is the right forum for this. Lately, I've been looking into personal finance apps, hoping to find something that could help me manage my finances and plan for the future. Despite there being so many apps designed to do this, I find myself continually reverting an Excel spreadsheet. It seems like these apps should be making financial management easier, but in my experience—and from what I've gathered from doing a bit of research online (reddit and HN) others people find they often don't meet all our needs. This has left me wondering, do they just not work? Has anyone else here experienced similar frustrations? I'm curious to hear your experiences with finance apps (or do you just use a spreadsheet?) What specific features or issues have made you stick with or abandon these tools? Do you think these apps lack certain functionalities, or is it something else entirely? I’d appreciate any insights or recommendations for alternatives that might be worth exploring. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!
