  • Actual-ly respects your privacy

    What the title says. Although linking a bank account seems like an essential feature in 2021 so I hope the roadmap follows through!
  • Can’t delete or edit bill categories?

    The website seems to give instructions for the desktop app, but there doesn’t appear to be this very basic functionality on the app. I’m sure it’s great when it’s all set-up, but this feels very alpha.
  • Your app has a bug

    When I try to type email or anything in the app I can't see anything, cursor is moving but none of the entries are visible.
  • Daily use for months - very satisfied

    I am a budgeting novice. Picked up Actual in August, started tracking my spending, and am now getting way more disciplined. App is easy to use, and fast. I pick it up after every time I spend money now, and know where every penny is going. Feels like I’m in control of my money for the first time. Great for budgeting beginners like me.

  • Good potential

    This app looks clean and based on your Twitter, it will continue to grow. Someone posted that there was no submit button for transactions, which is true, but swiping to the side seemed to work as a submit. Keeping it and waiting to see it get better. Love the purple top bar. Maybe implement a dark mode? Keep it up, once it’s full of feature I might consider the sync.

  • Needs improvement

    This app has a lot of potential to be a simple, clean budgeting app, but as of right now it is impossible to use. First & most importantly, i cannot figure out how to add transactions, because there is no “submit” button, only a “delete transaction” button. Also, there should be a way of adding transactions directly from the main page, rather than having to click into the specific account. Additionally, i can’t figure out how (or if there even is a way) to delete/rename categories or accounts, which seems like such an obvious feature for the app to have. Please fix these features and i may consider returning to this app!

  • Made budgeting easy

    I followed James along his development process as I eagerly awaited the release of Actual. I was not disappointed. No ads, no recommended credit cards - just a clean, easy to use interface. Finally, a budget app that lets me budget the same way I think of my money. Great work!
