Poll question? mobile or web app? Which one do you use more?
Which app do you use ? Web more or mobile more.
The reason I am asking. I use more mobile app than web. I rarely use web for my use cases.
I was wondering how other users feel?
Also if more users are mobile first users, I would recommend Simplifi dev team moving to mobile first as well. The reason I say this is because I see new features typically rolled out in web and then mobile.
Please share your thoughts. No wrong answers. 🙂

I rarely use the mobile app. For me, it's so difficult to accomplish tasks using such a small screen.
I also run a small side business and am a computer programmer, so therefore am on the computer all the time.

Makes sense. Productive users and works user absolutely Web makes sense.

I use web more, but I enter transactions on mobile (when I buy something other than on the web).

Mainly the web app. Mobile app is convenient when I'm out and about, but the web is my go-to app.

Web mostly

Mostly iOS app except to drill down on report categories or to import monthly applecard transactions.

looks like there is a good list of users thru web.

Yes, web mostly for me too. I export to Excel and prefer working with a larger screen.

99% web. I only use mobile if I don't have access to computer. Because of screen size, I much prefer web. If you learned on the mobile app and switch to Web it will take some time using the web before you appreciate the larger screen because you will have to search a little more on the web to find because the layout is for larger screen browsers. Once you use the web for a month or so you will only use mobile when you don't have access to your computer.

99% web for me! The app I just use to see the transaction and rarely categorize them correctly when I don't have access to a computer. But I would like the app to show the info in a better way, as the fields are very small there, and usually do not show full info.

I'm a Web App user all the way!

Like most responses here, I used Web App 98% of the time. I use the iPhone App when I am away from home or just to check something. But it is much easier to see on the computer. When away from home I use the iPhone app on my iPad* because the Web App doesn't display correctly. Sigh. :)
*I have an older 9.7" iPad. Maybe the web app does better on the newer ones.

I'm at about 60% web and 40% mobile. Entering receipts is WAY more efficient on mobile and it's easier to check things on the fly. However, I like that there is more functionality on web - by and large. Once, as a personal challenge, I intentionally did ALL my weekly data entry (entering receipts, reconciling statements, entering bills in Spending Plan, etc.) using the mobile app. It was a good learning experience and I found that in a pinch, it was certainly possible. It's just a lot more efficient to do it like I currently do it with the laptop setting on the desk and my tablet and phone setting next to it. I enter receipts, add categories, and do splits on my phone and then refresh on web to do other stuff. I find I go back and forth a lot and everything stays well synced!

Make the app more compatible with an iPad. I always put the iPad in the portrait position. I’d rather have it in the landscape position.

I prefer the web app to the mobile app because I'm just more comfortable using a computer. Since I manage a lot of accounts manually, it's more convenient to have a real keyboard, since I can type significantly faster than I can fight the aggressively incorrect autocorrect on my phone.
