Money Forecast: CashFlow

I’ve been using this app for 8-10 years and have loved it because it was simple, fast, and predictable. After 5 YEARS WITHOUT 'ANY' UPDATES, a series of recent redesigns made several cosmetic changes that, in my opinion, HURT USABILITY without adding any real value. The biggest issue is that the SCREEN LAYOUT was COMPLETELY REARRANGED 'just because'. The cash flow chart, which is only a visual summary, is now at the top of the screen, while the estimated transaction amounts, the information users actually need to review and edit every month, are BURIED in smaller font and harder to find. After nearly a decade of muscle memory, everything feels backwards. The RUNNING BALANACE is also displayed much more prominently, while the individual estimated payments (credit cards, utilities, etc.) are visually de-emphasized. Those estimates are what drive the balance, so they should remain the focus. If the goal was simply to modernize the look, please make these layout changes optional. A simple toggle to place the chart at the top or bottom, and another to reduce the emphasis on the running balances, would let new users enjoy the new design without disrupting those of us who have relied on this app for looking more efficiently for a decade. I’m not asking for the new design to be removed. I just want the option to use the layout that made this app so efficient for so many years. Right now, it’s noticeably slower and more frustrating to use than it needs to be.

This AP is invaluable. I’ve used it for years and it has helped me manage my finances perfectly. I love that it projects balances based on future transactions. Well worth the subscription.
