In short

Many customers say it changed how they handle money, with zero-based budgeting that is worth the subscription once learned.

Most customers are long-time customers who like the app, buckets, lack of fees and ATM fee reimbursement, and many praise the customer service.

Mint-style overview that many moved to from Mint, YNAB or Copilot; accounts that stop syncing.
