Within about ten minutes of download I got notices on my upcoming recurring charges. A product offering real value that quickly is a huge plus. Loving your work so far.
@charleyma Hey Charley! Great to see you here. There's a lot coming up-- optimizing travel purchases, bill payments, credit scores & reports, budgeting & categorization, peer & geo comparisons, and retirement planning. We recently added a CFP to our team who is helping us create and refine all of the various messages in your feed.
We're also working on better targeting by building more a more complete model of each user. E.g. you've indicated you're getting married soon and you're interested in your first mortgage. You'd receive content, tips, and actionable messages to help you through those life moments. I think every moment in life comes back to money somehow.

Hey @thelemonapp, im already using mint.com (which is kind of buggy and has lots of weird ads) it seems like Lemon is a substitute. if so why should i switch to your product (and have to spend effort relinking my accounts - i am very lazy)? is there at least one thing this does better or is it just better in a marginal sense in lots of areas? it says web and android coming soon? how soon is web coming?
@yvanscher Hey Yvan. Check out my answers to Barrett and Bill above re: Mint (which I used to love btw). Web will be ready in about a month!

@jbs i actually read both and visited your site. i still don't really have a clear picture i guess. so because of "unpaid lead generation" (whatever that is - i don't really do sales) your product is better? is what you are trying to say that your app promises to annoy me less (i understand that apps need to make money)? how much less? can you give me a metric of how much less annoying your ads/recs are? i'm looking for a reason to switch. how is your product better than the thing i use and am invested in? it definitely has a better art design... it seems like you *will* offer some forecasts? but you didn't really offer details on what you guys are going to forecast? why is your weekly summary better than mint's? i don't feel like those ideas were addressed.
i've outgrown old rickety mint so ill probably try lemon. i guess what i'm trying to communicate here is that it is my suggestion that you figure out - *in plain english* - why your product is superior. you don't have to take this advice; feel free to leave it here. the internet is full of bad advice and this might be bad. my only qualification is that i am a consumer who only speaks plain english. looking forward to giving lemon a try.
I've been a user of Lemon since the early beta. This is a great product that continues to show great progress. Keep crushing it Byron.

Lemon offers some very useful advice on how to manage your finances and find the best money saving / generating deals out there, whether is choosing your 401k plan, maintaining a good credit score or even deciding whether Amazon prime is worth it!! Great stuff!! This app will save me so much time researching all this stuff!!

Looks good @jbs. Any plans to support Indian accounts?
@narayananh Thanks, Narayanan. I wish I could say yes and tomorrow, but it's more along the lines of eventually and hopefully it's sooner rather than later.
