Yea I've been on the fence about trying that out, especially since it's missing some key features (reporting, the calculator). At least YNAB4 is supported til the end of 2016, gives them time to get the new one fixed up.

What I hate more is the thought of having my financial data stored in some shady, cobbled together, cloud service, hosted somewhere on Amazon AWS.

I predict, that it is only a question of time until they will encounter some disastrous data leak.

Begin a YNAB user for more than a year now, I am really angry at them for this move. So I'll guess I have to move on to something else after the support for the YNAB4 apps will be shut down.

Wow, this news was crushing. I was on the fence about getting ynab for a couple of months now and I was going to get it sometime this week. Coincidentally the trial of ynab made me detest subscription models more than I already did and then they became a subscription model! This is really saddening.. Are there any good replacements that you are aware of (since I do know that ynab is essentially a glorified spreadsheet, but I do like their methodology).
