BUG: Recurring transactions corrupt forecast/database and incorrect balances return after restart

I’m experiencing a serious recurring-transaction/database issue that has reached the point where I can no longer reliably use Budget Flow for budgeting. When recurring planned transactions are paid/completed, old planned occurrences and/or duplicate recurring definitions appear to remain active in the database. These can continue affecting future forecasts even though they are not visible on the Planned screen. Examples I have encountered include SoFi, T-Mobile, Affirm, GEICO, Grizzly Fiber, Assurant, and Chase recurring payments. I have inspected multiple exported SQLite backups and found: Completed transactions retaining future planned dates Duplicate recurring definitions Hidden/orphan recurring definitions that do not appear in the Planned UI Duplicate future occurrences of the same recurring bill Forecast calculations including transactions that cannot be seen or corrected from within the app One instance showed my combined account balance at approximately $999, but the next-day forecast dropped to approximately -$438 despite the visible planned transactions not accounting for that decrease. More recently, I repaired the database and restored it. Immediately after restoration, the balances and net worth appeared correct (my actual net worth was under $500). I then closed and reopened Budget Flow without making additional changes. After relaunching, the app displayed a net worth of approximately $4,260, including an incorrect America First Checking balance of approximately $3,951. This suggests that something may be rebuilding/recalculating recurring transactions or account state when the app launches and reintroducing invalid data. Because some of the records affecting calculations are invisible in the UI, I cannot reliably fix the problem from within Budget Flow. Even restoring a repaired database has not been a permanent solution. I have already emailed support with a detailed report, device/app information, and an SQLite backup. I also have multiple before/after backups available that demonstrate the database changes. Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max (iPhone16,2) iOS: 26.6 Budget Flow: 3.2.5 I purchased the lifetime version because I really like the app and intended to use it as my primary budgeting tool, but currently I cannot trust the account balances, recurring transactions, or forecasts enough to use it. I would be happy to provide additional SQLite backups or help reproduce the issue.

Multi edit and multi select transactions

Could you make it more easy to select multiple transactions at once. Like the traditional two fingers slide across items in a list. my import 290 items from my banking app and wanted to change all categories but I need to select all items individually. Furthermore after Editing the whole list of selected transactions the items are still selected but the indicator in the top Left is wrong (shows a number of 9) and a lot of items that was previous selected are visual not selected anymore. I think this is just a UI glitch as I can edit others infos afterwards. At last I would like to see a better import process. Like that I can setup Or save a preset for import settings. As I always import from an specific app. For each import o need to configure the date, value, categories again. Would be lovely to have some pre-sets saved Thank you for your app :-)

Shared book also appears as a non-shared book and cannot be opened separately

I am experiencing a confusing issue with a shared book in Budget Flow 3.2.3. After sharing my book “BOOK 1” with another user, it appears twice in the book selector: Under “Not shared” Under “Shared by you” The shared entry works correctly. However, selecting the non-shared entry always activates the shared book instead. It never opens as a separate book. To test this, I created another private book called “BOOK 2”. Switching between “BOOK 2” and the shared “BOOK 1” works normally. But whenever I select the non-shared “BOOK 1”, Budget Flow activates the shared “BOOK 1” again. I also renamed the non-shared entry to “BOOK 1 bis”. Only that entry was renamed; the shared one kept its original name. Despite having different displayed names, selecting “BOOK 1 bis” still activates the shared “BOOK 1”. The only available action for the non-shared entry is deletion. I do not know whether it is a separate orphaned reference or whether both entries point to the same underlying book, so deleting it feels unsafe and could potentially affect the shared book and all its data. Expected behaviour: a shared book should appear only once. If the non-shared entry is only a residual reference, it should be removed automatically or there should be a clearly safe way to delete it without affecting the shared book.
