Reviews about Banana Accounting quality

21 mentions · 24% positive · 71% negative

Reviewers report widespread dissatisfaction with the quality of Banana Accounting, with 17 negative mentions out of 23 total reviews. The overall sentiment has remained consistently poor, particularly in 2026, where multiple 1-star reviews highlight app crashes, inability to open files, and broken cloud integration. While a few users appreciate the app’s usability on small devices and its clean interface, these positive comments are outweighed and often include caveats. Quality issues appear to have worsened following the May 2026 update, with ongoing reports of read-only access and persistent crashes across Android, iOS, and Samsung foldable devices. A small number of newer reviews from early 2026 show slight improvement, including one 3.5-star review and a few neutral or mildly positive remarks, but these do not indicate a broader trend. Reliability and functionality remain the main concerns for most users.

How the numbers are made

Every review is read once by a language model that labels its themes and sentiment and picks short verbatim passages. Recent reviews weigh more than old ones (each month of age discounts the weight by 10%). Quotes are shown exactly as written, linked to the original review, and cryptographically signed so you can check they have not been altered.Full methodology ↗ · Transparency report ↗
