Been using ynab since version ynab3. Over the years it's gotten more bloated. There is now some type of home advertising page you have to click through to get to the actual app now. Considering changing budget tools in the future. Maybe I'm in the minority, but the new "features" they keep adding are a step back for me. Sometimes a bit more basic is better. Last, they now call it a plan instead of a budget in the app which is a bit funny since it used to be focused on you need a budget.

Jonathan, wow! Thanks for being with us since YNAB 3! I do want to clear up that the new Home tab doesn’t contain ads. It’s a space for short, optional videos about getting more from YNAB — if you prefer to skip them, you can do that with one tap. Our Support team would love to hear more of your feedback at help@ynab.com. 🪷 -Renae @YNAB.com

I've been a subscriber for around 6 years. The YNAB team has been making odd choices for a while, changing the word "budget" to "plan" a while back and now forcing the app to open on some new home screen that just adds extra steps to the budgeting process. Give us the option to choose what screen is displayed when you open the app so I can force it to open to the budget...I mean plan. And stop adding "features" that nobody is asking for in an attempt to justify all the price increases.

Hi, Robert! I'm bummed to hear that the latest changes haven't landed well for you. Please know that we do take all feedback in and it helps us determine how to best move forward. That said, if you've got more feedback to share, the best place to do that is via our Support team (help@ynab.com). 😊 -Renae @YNAB.com

I have been a user of the ynab app for years and am totally bought in on the philosophy. That being said, the new UI is a huge miss. The home tab is useless, it's taking me more clicks to get to useful information, and some of the most recent terminology changes are actually nonsensical. I hope they'll start focusing more on the reflect tab. That's where I see the biggest area for opportunities. Best of luck ynab, I'm rooting for you.
