Simple and Helpful!
This app is incredibly helpful and designed very cleanly (which I appreciate a lot!). I'm graduating from college next year and I wanted a budget app that I knew I would actually use once I start making "real world" money lol, and this app is definitely it. It's genuinely so easy to use which motivates me to use it more. The Big Spending feature is also really nice (for example, planning for birthdays or Xmas) I only wish that you could set the end date into the next year - as of right now, the farthest end date you can choose is December 31st of the current year. Other than that, this is a wonderful app. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get serious about budgeting/saving money!

Best Budgeting App
Updated: They have now fixed it so you can keep category selection or skip it and the auto populate feature works once again so I’m returning my rating to 5-stars. I have tried several different personal finance apps and this one works the best for me, by far. I also appreciate how responsive the developers are to fixing problems and continually improving the app.
I love this app, but have had problems since the update. The entry defaults to General instead of letting me choose a category so it adds a step to entering a transaction. Plus the cursor doesn’t automatically go to the ‘amount’ field so I have to click on it which adds another step. It was much faster and more fluid before the update. Also the auto-populate fields seem to have been lost.

Simple, effective, and somehow fun!
I’ve been nervous to start budgeting for a while now. I’ve never had to worry about it since I’ve always been conscious about saving as much as possible, however, since I’ve been having to pay back my loans I’ve been having a hard time! I’ve been trying to pour a lot of my funds into my loans (because I hate being in debt) but since I’m not being smart about it and turning a blind eye I’ve noticed my funds dwindling. Not an easy thing since I’m trying to afford going to grad school! The idea of finding out that I can’t afford all of my expenses seemed daunting, but this app has made my new budget experience painless and very interesting! I feel like I can breathe again a little bit knowing that I’m just barely making it haha :) I could be paying less towards my loans I guess but I would rather not, interest suuuuucks.

Awesome, even for students!
I’ve only been using this app for a few days to help with keeping track of my expenses (trying to save for a large goal by next summer) and I’ve loved it so far! I’m a high school student and most of the other apps I’ve tried before were complicated and felt more like a chore that I was likely to forget about than a simple way to make my life easier. What really sets this app apart for me is how simple it is. Having a daily budget set based on my paycheck, and seeing how my spending affects tomorrow’s budget really helps me to stay mindful. And the graphics within the app itself are amazing too! Would definitely recommend to any friends who are trying to start budgeting.

This is so great!
I have tried every budgeting app spreadsheet and program under the sun and this is the simplest. It is really easy to use and has completely changed how I view my money. In two days I already saved about $30 by not wanting to input transactions and choosing not to buy that scone and coffee instead... and I’ve put off some big purchases when I realised how much they would really cost in terms of savings. I think it’s going to be really great. Thank you

We are grateful that you have selected our app and will keep improving it to make it even better!
I use it everyday, it’s awesome
Easy to use, I really like the big-spendings features you can use to save for something in particular. I do wish you could set a savings goal to see how long until you have e.g $1000. So helpful with managing money, I feel a lot more secure in my finances.
Response from developer
We are thankful for your appraisal and will add savings goals to the requested feature list for consideration!
Awesome app but...
Edit:
If that is the case, can you add a button below “delete” that says “end recurring expense” or “end” that just put ends the expense so that users don’t have to set the end date to previous month (that’s the more annoying part). Also, if you want to make magic happen, if I change something about the recurring expense, ask the user if it wants it to apply to all cycles or just this one. Then if user selects just this one you behind the scenes ends the expense in the previous cycle, clone the expense with new start and end dates and boom, problem solved. The last suggestions is better than the first one. Hope you can implement that. Thanks.
I use this app everyday. It’s how I manage my money. I just want to ask for a minor change that it was introduced recently. Please, please, let me change and tweak my regular income and recurring expenses per cycle like it was before. Now if I change something, it will affect all my cycles because now the app uses date ranges for everything. I just want to tweak my current cycle. I do not want to need to change the end date so that I can “finish” the recurring expense and create another one with the same name with my new number. It’s just annoying. Let us modify our daily budget per cycle without modifying the before ones. Thanks. Used to love the app but that little change is making everything hard for me.

Best budgeting app
This app is the best budgeting app if you want to actually save money and stick to your budget and the free version is fully functional. While other apps are good for tracking your expenses and telling you how much you’ve spent, none of them actually give you an accurate view of whether you’re over or under budget at any given time. We’d even struggle to figure out where all the money went and even if we did, the money was already gone. This app is really simple and that’s what makes it so functional. You enter your income, fixed expenses, and how much you want to save per month. Taking that into account, it gives you a spending budget per day which carries over into the next day if you don’t use all of it. You manually enter your expenses which keeps you accountable with every purchase. The pro features are great and work well. I contacted their customer service and got a very helpful response back the same day on a Sunday. Super excited about this app and all the money I’m going to save!

We appreciate your thorough review and high opinion very much and wish you to save a large amount of money with Daily Budget!
The force is strong with this app...
Really like this app, just need to remember to fill it out as often an I spend🤣
Response from developer
Many thanks for your appreciation – you can set notifications within the app if you wish to be informed that it is time to enter daily spending!
Pretty good!
Daily Budget has done a wonders for my finances, as previously I didn’t really know what my income and outgoings were. Now I’ve been able to identify areas where I spend more than I realised and been able to save money 😊 plus the app is pretty easy on the eyes and nicely designed 👍
There are several changes I’d love to see: I would prefer to be able to change the daily budget to a monthly one, as the current daily system doesn’t really reflect my manner of spending. I find it has a negative impact on me to do a big purchase and then see myself in orange for a week straight, which results in me unnecessarily starving myself to get into blue faster. Also the category icons could do with expanding, I’d like to have icons for food (as groceries is too broad a term), medicine, gifts, and feminine products 😊

Thank you very much for your appreciation! 1). If your cycle corresponds to a month, you can check your monthly budget under Analysis > Overview > Budget left. And for big purchases you can use Big Spending and distribute the expense over a period of time. That way, your budget won’t be extremely negative on few days and the app is useful. A good example is gasoline. If you had to pay 100 Euro for gas, but the gas lasts a week, then you should use Big Spending and spread the expense over 7 days. 2). Categories can be renamed/deleted and you can create your own categories as well. Please kindly tap “-“ button on the main screen and then select "Edit" in the upper right corner. Tap the category you want to edit or delete or select "+" in the upper right corner to create a new category. While creating a new category you can tap the icon by default and drag it upwards to scroll through the variety of icons available for selection.
