The user interface is easy to navigate and the app can be linked to your bank account, which saves you setting it up manually. The only thing I noticed is that the app only connects to your main personal account, so if you spread your money into pots or savings, it doesn't reflect in the total balance. Overall, it's a really good app.

Thank you for your feedback, Ibukunoluwa. We recently worked on the app to accommodate for Monzo pots and savings etc. If you go into your Monzo account on the home page, it should show you your main balance and the value in your pots too! If you're still having issues finding this, you can reach out to support@blackbullion.com for some help.

I've been using this app, since starting University and it has been extremely useful when looking at spending, keeping track of subscriptions, etc. My one point of improvement is the budget. Sometimes I would receive money or I'll have to spend money on the behalf of someone else and I will be paid back, however, the budget does not take into account money being received. So I was wondering, if there was a way for the budget to also include money coming in as well.

It's great to have you with us since starting uni! Glad you've been finding it so useful. The Budgeting money-in point is a fair one, covering for a friend and getting paid back really shouldn't mess with your budget. On our radar! Thank you 🙌

Very useful app, however unfortunately the app does not handle credit cards properly. Instead of showing the balance as a debt/negative balance it shows the debt on the credit card as a positive balance. For example if you have £500 debt on a credit card, it will show your account total as being £1000 higher than it actually is.

Thanks for flagging this - credit card balances should not increase your total, so this is not the experience we want. We have raised it with the team and are working on a fix. Glad you're finding the app useful!
