Emma Money Management App

I'm just wondering if anyone else is using this?

I was using HSBC Money Connected but they have ditched the app:mad:

The free version of Emma looks like it will do everything I want and a bit more than HSBC (budget categories & totals), but I would be curious if anyone else on here has looked at it / is using it.

I used to use Yolt, but now use Emma instead as it is much more responsive when you sync several accounts! I find the analytics not particularly useful, but for being able to keep all my accounts and balances in one place its pretty good. They've recently moved to Open Banking APIs for most account types now, which has broken a few things (eg. savings/credit cards for HSBC no longer sync) but that's more a fault with the banks having crap APIs rather than a fault with Emma. Can't comment on the Pro version as I've never used it, but personally the free version does me quite alright.

I'm using Moneyhub, it's only downside is that the automatic bank feeds are only available to subscribers, but it's a £10/year so hardly breaking the bank. They swear that because of the money they get from the sub they will never sell your data. I take it with a pinch of salt, but better than a guarantee that your data is sold by any free app. Added bonus is the web interface, not just app.

I've decided to give it a go, downloaded it thismorning on my commute and so far I'm impressed. Took about 5 min to add all of my accounts (bar my HSBC saving account), cards and I didn't realise it will also add my pension bee once that is sorted. Major improvement from money connected which was a headache to set up (and why I was annoyed when they closed it I thought I would have to go though all that pain again)

Will keep you updated for anyone else looking at money management apps

I like money dashboard. It's free and adds all my accounts. You can categorise, budget and plan your finances. I still use a trusty spreadsheet for mostly everything but for a quick balance review across all my accounts and credit cards, it's great.
