New update - "minor" changes? The UI is completely different. It now takes several extra steps to see information that used to be laid out immediately upon opening the app, which is not the end of the world but is definitely irritating. Worst of all, it apparently can't sync properly anymore. Transactions used to show up within 24 hours, but it's now lagging several days behind.

I'll start by saying I use YNAB religiously and it indeed changed my life for the better. With that being said it does seem like some areas have gone down in quality for whatever reason in the past months. For example it used to be very good at bucketing incoming items when the charges were more or less coming in on a consistent basis, now it's just throwing guesses at the wall. Also not a fan of the redesign. I want to go straight to my budget not some home where adverts will abound.

Thanks for your review, Justin! Glad to hear YNAB's improved your life (same here), and I can assure you we never sell ads or personal data. Would you be up for reaching out via the app or help @ynab.com about those categorization issues? ~ Lauren @ YNAB

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.
