Has anyone had experience of Numbrs app?

Bit of a weird one I’ll be honest. I’m not great with money, and have a few accounts here and there and sometime like to overspend and have a little bit of credit card debt. Nothing major, but I am a little unorganised, sometimes getting to the end of the month and having to transfer a little from my savings to my current to pay a forgotten bill. Previously I’ve used an app, called squirrel, that was amazing for keeping me organised. It was a paid for app but I felt the cost was worth it as it really helped me budget and organise my cash. But they then shut down (some big contract with Barclays instead apparently) and I’ve gone back to my slightly chaotic approach.
I’ve now started seeing adverts for Numbrs on social media (usually under the guise of being able to win 50k every week) but it has quite a hefty monthly fee and only a one week free trial which I don’t think is enough to really get a feel of it, so am wondering if there is anyone who has any experience, good or bad, about the app and whether it has helped them manage their money well?

I have a link here as well if anyone has no idea what I’m talking about: numbrs.com/p/GC3NJ3

Thank you

I currently have a free trial of this app. It's good but it doesn't do much more than Yolt which is free (albeit with ads). If you want a longer free trial of a highly recommended app try YNAB. I use an ancient copy of their windows software as well as Yolt and think it's fab but I won't get a current subscription until they connect to Open Banking any my transactions will magically appear.

I used to have Squirrel but decided eventually that I could go alone by using a banking app with savings pots.

I now use Starling and put all my different savings pots in there eg holiday, car service etc then leave enough in the account for the other bills and direct debits. I then transfer 'spending' to a different account weekly and done use the card for the Starling account,

I haven't been in OD since so it works for me- been over 2 years.
