1. [R1] NerdWallet 1/5 · US Terrible update: Removed the only reason I downloaded this app. For a budgeting option. And then put in some garbage news stories and investment tab nobody asked for. Edit: nice they added it back, too bad I moved on to rocket money
2. [R3] NerdWallet 3/5 · US Not consumer-focused anymore: I loved this app and the website when I found it in 2020. It shows me my net worth, my credit score, etc. In the past year or so they have made a lot of changes that all seem to be based on making them a profit rather than serving their customers. Most things I look for on the website are now only on the app. I used their shopping features to find the most beneficial
3. [R10] NerdWallet 1/5 · US Advertising platform you connect your bank accounts to: My title says it all, it’s non stop adds. ATOMIC BANK IS AWFUL - stop trying to get me to open an account. Also, the UI on this app used to be a lot better to see more details about your finances. Now you get the most basic views, no budgeting, no nothing and it tries to sell you stuff the whole time. SKIP
4. [R64] Cash App 1/5 · US Deactivated: My account was deactivated for “violating terms of service” no one is telling me what I violated and I only used it for small transfers and small purchases. My appeal was denied and still I have no clue what went wrong.
5. [R4] NerdWallet 2/5 · US Introduced way too many bugs: Every time I take an action for 5 mins in the app, I get the little frog saying that something went wrong. The bugs are increasing. It’s becoming painful to use this app.
6. [R6] NerdWallet 3/5 · US OS 26: I have been using this app for quite a few years, but, as others have said, the recent updates/changes have a made the app a little buggy, there still aren’t any widgets, and it still isn’t formatted properly for iPadOS 26. I really hope bug fixes and proper software compatibility are coming very soon… especially since we’re literally coming upon the OS ‘27 announcements in less than tw
7. [R44] NerdWallet 2/5 · US Has become awful buggy and frustrating and horribly slow :(: I’ve been using this app for a while. But since the last updates this app has become AWFUL BUGGY AND FRUSTRATING AND HORRIBLY SLOW! Also the design has changed so many times that the user experience has been compromised too. I really don’t know what happened to some features but is become totally unusable. I hope the developers and the U
8. [R62] Cash App 4/5 · US Unlock button: I hate how the lock/unlock button is at the top right corner now and I have to now hit 2 buttons instead of 1 like before
9. [R25] NerdWallet 1/5 · US So many issues: Won’t connect to any of my accounts! Super unhelpful. Can’t use it if it won’t connect. Seems to ‘be having issues’ with MANY institutions.
10. [R40] NerdWallet 2/5 · US Bank connectivity problems: They’re having bank issues with plaid and not issuing any refunds for it. I’ve been having issues since November and I paid for a year. I recommend Monarch.
11. [R61] Cash App 1/5 · US i dont like cash app: 0/10 bc they didn't let me back in my account two they put a different pin in my account and they didnt let me get my money back
12. [R12] NerdWallet 3/5 · US Bring back 50/30/20: I’ve used several competitors before but what kept me with NW was the 50/30/20 rule and their simple UI - everything I needed in one neat spot. The 50/30/20 budgeting feature single-handedly kept me as a customer. I saw GREAT improvements using this. I’ve given these new versions some time but nothing compares to the old Nerd Wallet. Very disappointed and looking for alternati
13. [R15] NerdWallet 3/5 · US Okay: It’s OK for a free app, but missing some key features no one has yet to come up with a decent replacement for Mint
14. [R115] Cash App 1/5 · US Greedy app: They started charging money to deposit even if you have green status when it used to be free before today horrible greedy change
15. [R16] NerdWallet 1/5 · US Not dependable, lost data: After I didn’t use an app for a while I found that all my accounts , properties, cars and etc were erased . It is time consuming to restore all this information.
16. [R19] NerdWallet 2/5 · US Predatory, spammy financial app: I’m giving 2 stars because you can actually get a loan through this app, it just will be at an extremely predatory rate. They will also start sending you 3-5 marketing emails a day, and in my case have so far ignored my unsubscribe requests. I suspect they also sold my email address to other spammy, predatory financial services because I started receiving a bunch s
17. [R60] NerdWallet 1/5 · US Can’t delete account or remove account information once created & entered: I don’t typically ever write reviews. This app isn’t good in any way shape of form. It gives you a basis that’s really it. I’m not entirely sure how they’re generating reviews or how they’re able to pass app guidelines. You’re unable to delete your account unless you maybe get assistance from a human. It states 24 hours but
18. [R77] Cash App 1/5 · US Customer service: Rudest customer service I’ve genuinely ever had to deal with in my life bro
19. [R39] NerdWallet 5/5 · US Thank you NW!: Love that the app is free, taught me so much & helped me start a real savings with some weight to it😭. Thank you NerdWallet for being such an educational and inspirational staple in today’s day & age✝️💚
