Cons/Areas of Improvement for FinArt

We did not find any major issues with the app as the customer support experience was snappy and fast. You can directly email the customer support right from the app itself and the reply is indeed quick. The app is updated often to bring fixes and UI improvements.

But one thing that we noticed is that the outstanding are kept as due even after they are paid. We tried rescanning the SMS inbox but it did not work for us. This was in case of transactions that were auto debited from savings account like an EMI or other fixed financial commitments. So finally we have to mark it as paid on the app.
