Review summary

Pocket Expense 6 is praised as a long-standing budgeting tool with years of transaction history and bills, a trusted go-to app, and a respected one-time lifetime subscription. When it works, it provides solid budgeting value. However, users repeatedly report critical problems after updates: data loss, crashes, freezes, loading failures at 96-98%, poor customer support, and cross-device synchronization issues.

Pros

Extensive multi-year history of transactions and bills, making it valuable for budgeting and tax tracking.
A widely used, long-standing budgeting/expense tracker that users rely on.
One-time lifetime subscription option that users paid for.
Originally a strong, reliable budgeting app that many reviewers loved before the recent updates.

Cons

Data loss or corruption following updates, with years of data disappearing.
Frequent crashes and freezes after updates, making daily entry cumbersome.
App getting stuck loading at 96-98% or unable to load, blocking access to data.
Poor support and lack of timely responses from developers.
Synchronization and cross-device data consistency issues, including numbers drifting and unreliable backups.

2026-06-25	BI*****	I had an issue with my data being deleted, as others have noted with the recent update, but the data has now been restored. I am updating my review to four stars because I have used and loved this app for many years, but I still say beware. It might be a good idea to back up your data somewhere (they allow you to export data in excel sheets).

2026-06-11	Na*****	The app was updated last week and the data loss occurred. I have been seeing this from past few updates consistently. The app is great and would be better if this can be avoided

2026-02-27	Cl*****	As many others already noted, I lost years worth of data last year. Because I want to keep an eye on my checking and savings accounts, I decided to keep using Pocket Expense and just did a balancing adjustment to start fresh. I haven’t lost all my data yet (fingers crossed), but the app crashes after every entry I make. I make an entry, wait for it to clear, scroll up, and it crashes. I then open the app again to make a new entry and wait for it to crash again. Thankfully it accepts the entries, but I have to wait for the crash after every single entry. It is becoming unusable, and I may finally move on even though I purchased the lifetime subscription.

2026-02-25	Cf*****	Loved this app before the update - freezes, tap icons are slow, and crashes. I even emailed the developer about it and did not receive a reply. Actively looking for a new app at this point unless a fix is made soon.

2026-02-23	El*****	A decade of data lost in a single update. No response from customer service. Try at your own risk. I’m switching to excel.

2026-02-03	jc*****	People commenting Dec 2025 about the app deleting years of data following an update are correct. However, developers fixed it and got data back. I’ve used the app for years, it’s really great.
