YNAB Customer Insights

1. The "help" tab seems unnecessary to keep on the nav bar, it's useful the first time or two you open the app but then it's not needed again, it could be moved into a submenu and replaced with a categorize transactions button.have tried excel and mint before to budget, but this one blows them away! you get more than a budgeting app; you get a framework for managing your money.

2. 5 stars for YNAB.The app is very useful, but they've been having issues with American Express imports for over a year, making importing transactions from Amex a terrible experience.
