Troubleshooting

SMS Messages Not Being Processed

If SMS messages arrive but no transactions appear in the app, check the following:

  • Check SMS Analyzer: Go to Settings → SMS Analyzer. Status should say "Downloaded".
  • Check Automation: Settings → Automation → "SMS Automation" should be ON.
  • Check Permissions: iOS Settings → Spender → Grant SMS permissions.
  • Supported Messages: The analyzer only processes transactional SMS (debits, credits, payments). OTPs are ignored.

Incorrect Account Balances

  • Starting Balance: Go to Settings → Accounts and ensure you've set a starting balance.
  • Duplicates: Check for duplicate transactions and swipe left to delete.

Download Fails

If the SMS Analyzer download fails, ensure you have at least 600MB free space and a stable WiFi connection. Keep the app open during download.

Quick FAQ

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. All processing happens on your device. Your SMS and transaction data never leave your iPhone.

Do I need the SMS Analyzer?

Only if you want SMS automation. The app works perfectly with manual entry and file imports without it.

How do I backup?

You can use Settings → Backup to enable Local Backup or iCloud for automatic sync across devices.
