Fantastic and easy to use
I was looking for practical help to keep on top of finances and not get into overdrafts and get charges accrue. I looked through few apps and this one had nice simple design with all the necessary functions. I started using it and I love it! It also taught me to wait for things that I really want and not spend on things uneccessary. It also calculates for me my regular outgoings- it shows me how much yearly storage rent costs me per day, eating away my daily spend allowance etc... which makes me think, that’s quite a lot and helped me to decide to work towards downsizing further and stop the storage rent. So it is helping me to sort my life out and be more free and afford to work less and enjoy life more. I am very strongly recommending this clever app. :) x

We sincerely appreciate your detaled review and high recommendations and hope that Daily Budget will help you to improve your life further!
Excellent App
Absolute love this app. Wouldn’t use anything else and I love that you can not only budget really well and effectively, but you can track you daily expenses too which is fantastic. Most budgeting or finance related apps like this can’t do then both but this is such a great app. I love it and wouldn’t change it for any other!

So far so good!
I’ve been searching for an app like this for MONTHS! I happen to stumble across this and decided to give it a shot. For the start, it is extremely easy to use. You put in your monthly income and reoccurring expenses, as well as any thing you want to save for. It calculates what your daily budget should be! The only suggestions I have would be to have a way to add the initial starting amount of what you have in savings and checking already. And possibly a widget or home screen thing to have a constant reminder of your budget and how far you have gotten on your savings right there on your phone. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants a simple way to track and save your money.

Great and simple. Beautifully designed. A+
I’ve been trying to arrive at a simple budgeting solution - I downloaded several budgeting apps, which I ended up deleting within a few minutes. Most apps are not streamlined or this simple to set up. This app is fast to set up and seems to me the smartest way to keep to a budget and always know your disposable income. Basically you set up monthly envelopes devoted to every expense. The app then divides your remaining income per month into a per diem amount. If you spend less than the diem it adds the remaining money to your next day’s tab. Likewise, it subtracts from the next days diem if you spend too much. Basically it’s a running tally of your disposable income per day. Not only is the app very efficient, it has great flow and design. Highly recommend!

Fantastic, gives peace of mind!
I’ve been using Daily Budget for two years and I love it! Best budget app I’ve come across. You don’t have to link your bank account. You just put in all your regular income and expenses and how much you want to be saving, and it calculates a budget for what you can spend each day. Then you add in your day to day purchases as you go. If you’re thrifty, it gives you more to spend the next day, and if you overspend it puts you in the negative. Before this app, I used to feel guilty about every single purchase because I had no sense of how much I could spend before I was putting myself in a bad place. This app gives me total peace of mind, to very clearly know where I stand financially and what I can or can’t afford to buy on a daily basis

Best.
I’ve tried so many other budget tools for iOS an this app is far and away my favorite for expense tracking. There are other tool like mint or personal capital (I still use the latter) that are great for looking at all your finances as once, but they do not make for good budgeting tools. This app is perfect precisely because it is not a passive tool. You must use it, not just leave it in the background, and this makes you actually think about your budget, and how that factors into your daily spending. It is simply a joy to use and in my opinion the best budget app period.
P.S. I would love an Apple Watch app with a very simple complication of a rounded dollar amount hat you have allocated up to that day.

Was the best app for me
Let me start out by saying I thought this was the best budget app ever created. I would argue against anybody that would say otherwise. However, I’ve run into the same issue over and over again. Every once in awhile the amount on my daily budget would jump tremendously to a negative amount or to some insane positive amount. I’ve contacted customer support for this many times. And they say it’s because of the cloud syncing and that I need to make sure my cycles are all there. I’ve got use to fixing it even though I wasn’t too happy about it, but now when it just changes for no reason even though all my cycles are there, I just don’t want to deal with it anymore. I hope this doesn’t happen to your app, and maybe my phone is just malfunctioning. I’ve paid for the full version of this app and I’m sad to let it go. I’ll be trying other apps in the meantime until there are improvements or when I get a newer iPhone (currently using iPhone 7). I appreciate the services that I’ve received up to this point. Thanks.

Great App
I never leave reviews for anything, but this app does everything it says it will do, and it does it well. Best budget app I've been able to find on the AppStore.

Best budget app out there
I've tried countless ways to manage my money and in the end I always abandon it because of things becoming tedious. This app solves that problem and actually makes saving money fun!
Update: I created a spreadsheet in Excel to mimic this app so I could understand exactly how it works and let me tell you it works perfect! Tip: After you have everything setup... goto Analysis, Overview and look at "Budget Left". This is the amount you have to spend for the rest of the month in order to successfully meet your saving goals. At first I got hung up when seeing negative numbers on the main page. But as long as "Budget Left" is positive, your spending will eventually catch up. Also "Big Spending" is treated as an actual transaction (the amount is just spread out). So once that future date occurs, you don't enter the amount again. These are just two tips I wish I had read in the beginning saving me the need to create the spreadsheet. This app is for life!

We are so grateful for your thorough feedback and tips for new users! We just want to add that there is an option to complete Big Spending – on the purchase date you will be able to tap “Complete Big Spending” under the correspondent Big Spending and enter actually paid amount. If your actually paid sum differs from that of the correspondent Big Spending, the app will record the difference as an extra income or an expense.
