I like the Spending Insights tab, but never used it because no matter how much time I invest into fixing the auto-assigned payment categories, it continues to make the same mistakes, which makes this feature useless.
Here are a few example of errors:
- Payments to IKEA BV are auto-mapped to "Groceries". Should be "Household Expenses" or similar
- Payments to NS Groep and OV-Chipkaart are auto-mapped to "Groceries" too. Should be "Travel".
- Payments to KPN BV are auto-mapped to "Groceries". Should be "Subscriptions" or "Electronics" maybe.
- Payments to Gemeente X are auto-mapped to "Groceries". This one is hard, but it should be a category related to "Parking".
- I change the payment category of one payment in the "Groceries" overview, click "All similar payments". That payment and all similar payments to the same account stay in the "Groceries" tab. Even force-closing the app and restarting it doesn't change this mapping. If I choose "Only this payment", that particular payment moves to the correct category, but the others stay in the wrong category.
My suggestion would be to:
- Fix the obvious bugs like actually moving all similar payments to the new category (See 5)
- Fix obvious auto-mappings like 1) and 2)
- Actually LEARN from manual category changes like in 3)
- Don't auto-map payments that are not obvious like 4). I much rather like to have an "unmapped" category where I can fix the mappings myself than having to go through every category and fix the errors.
