## Reviews

### "Full of bugs\!" — 1.0/5

> **Robert** | *03 August 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Nothing.
> 
> **Cons**: The software is old-fashioned and filled with bugs, for example, when you select all transactions on a page it will then go and change ALL transactions in your directory - which can take hours to manually fix. When batch editing the attachments also freeze and you have to reset the entire page each time.
> 
> Frustrating.
