Awesome so far!
I love the concept and it makes the whole process quite playful, which I really like. Just using it in a basic way to start off with and will delve into more of the features as I go along.

Thanks a lot for your love and support, if you need any assistance to understand the app better, please, don't hesitate to drop us a line at support@dailybudget.de.
Very simple and clever budgeting tool
I love this idea, it takes such little time to set up and it’s free to use the most essential features (no category limits etc) in comparison to other apps. You can even change the appearance of the app icon on your home screen! I need something a little more sophisticated, i.e. to set budget limits on non-fixed expenses, but for a quick overview I still keep this in my arsenal. It takes pride of place on the first page of my home screen.

Thank you very much for your feedback! We believe that having a budget for each separate category is unnecessary complex (and stressful!) for many users. So when you use the app, and stick to the daily amount displayed by it (regardless of what you spend it on), you will be able to save the amount you wished for.
Please add time sheets to the app
I would be happy to pay for the ability to add time sheets to this app, so that I can enter in the hours I have worked on a project and the hourly rate I charge and then the app works it out for me.
Please also add the ability to have regular set aside amounts. E.g. tithing, savings, charity, investing. You already have 10% but it doesn’t work it out for extra, irregular income. Only regular pay checks. For those of us in small business without a regular pay check, this function would make budgeting a lot easier.

Thanks a lot for reaching out! We want to incorporate charity in the app. For the meantime, you can use "Big Spending" for charity since it will do the same thing - put away a certain amount from daily budget every day. Besides, you can set a fixed amount for saving instead of a percentage, please, kindly tap the button below "You will be saving:" on the Savings screen and enter your fixed amount.
Great Tool
I love this app! I have used several other budgeting apps. Most of them need to be linked to your bank account and this was frustrating for me because it would never know when money was being taken out for bills, paying credit cards off, etc. With this app you put in your monthly income, monthly expenses, and a monthly savings goal, and then it divides what you have left to give you a daily budget. It’s extremely simple and has been the first app to actually help me be careful about what I’m spending. I also love that if you don’t use all of the money in your daily budget it carries over to the next day. I definitely recommend (and I only have the free basic features...I imagine it’s even better if you spend the $6.99 to unlock all of the features!)

6 months in: Effective and easy!
Like many others, I've used a ton of budgeting apps but this is the one I've really been able to stick with. I've been using it consistently for six months and while there are a few quirks with the Cycles feature, I haven't experienced any of the other bugs in previous reviews.
I love that it's so fast to enter spending. I thought I preferred auto linking apps like Mint, but I struggle with the delay of pending transactions and it was easy to "forget" I spent the money when it just came through automatically.
Entering transactions literally takes less than ten seconds but I think it encourages building good budgeting habits because it makes me "feel" my purchases a bit more. If I forget to enter an expense, I can always add it later.
I LOVE setting cycles. I do most my spending on the weekend so I start my cycle on Monday and try to build up as much spending as possible by Saturday. Seeing that number grow is encouraging throughout the week and then I can enjoy my weekends, knowing exactly how much I have available.
Feature request: Id like a playback of the amount I went over/under for each cycle. If I forget to check Sunday night, I have to add up every by hand. Instead, I would love a report of my aggregate results each cycle, so I can track my progress
Thanks for making a great app!

Thank you so much for such a detailed and encouraging review! You can see how much money you had left over in previous cycles under “Analysis” > “Overview” by tapping on the left arrow.
Functional but not perfect
Just started using the app and it’s certainly got a beautiful design. Some functions such as re-ordering Recurring Expenses are either not available or hard to discover (I certainly didn’t manage by holding down and dragging which is what I expected to work).
Update: not available, then. I appreciate the ordering of most costly to least costly, but I have an expense of £x00/year at the top of the list, above rent expenses which are a lower figure but monthly. I.e. the ordering is incorrect even though x00 per year is the biggest number.

Thanks a lot for your update! Currently recurring expenses are ordered automatically - just by the total payment amount, without reference to their frequency, however, we are going to add sorting options in future updates!
Ok, not perfect, need to be more powerful
The app is ok, it certainly helps me track my spending. However the premium version is quite expensive and the graphs it gives you are quite limited. I don’t feel it was really work the approx £7 I paid.
I would suggest adding more graphs (eg. pie chart showing how ALL spending is split- not just fixed costs). Also would be great to add the ability to add future expenses.
Overall a good app that help me a lot, but expensive and I’d really just like to see the developer make the premium more powerful.
Also perhaps consider adding to option to upload your banks statement csv file to update expenses in bulk?

Many thanks for your feedback, we are actually going to implement all of the mentioned improvements in the next versions - Graph Overhaul and the options to enter future expenses and to import csv files so kindly stay tuned! Also upgrades are usually refundable within two weeks so we recommend our users to try our free version first and with its help save enough money for the upgrade!
Best "Budgeting" app there
Well I downloaded mostly the free apps out there and all I can say is that - this is the best. It is easy to use but really gets the job done. Really good if you want to budget your money and save. Bought the Categories in app purchase to support the developer but YOU DON'T REALLY NEED TO SPEND WITH THIS APP.
I used it with the Spending app (you can also download it here in appstore for free). I used it mainly to keep track how much money I still have on my ATM. I hope this app incorporates that function. I mean this app can budget your money for the month, but in reality of course - your money is in your ATM, you don't have your whole salary with you physically, so I need to keep track the money I have there every time I withdraw. If I'm earning $300, and decided to withdraw $100 for this week, I have to log it in some other app that I withdraw $100 and still have $200 for the month, that is what I'm saying. So 4stars for now. 😊😊😊😊😊

ONE SUGGESTION!
Fantastic app I absolutely love it. I would only make one suggestion to improve it, and that is to have two options to view your money remaining for the month. Of course you have the current way of showing how much left for the current day which assumes you spend your daily average every day for the remainder of the month, but there is another metric that might also be useful: a revised daily average for the rest of the month based on the total spending money you have remaining, divided by the total days in the month. I believe that would be cool to see it go up or down and aim to increase that fluctuating daily average. Once again, thanks for a great app and thanks for reading!

A budgeting app that blew my mind
I’ve been using Mint for the past year, but I came to find that being as automated as it is, I largely forgot all my budgeting aspirations in my day to day life. This app is brilliant in its simplicity. I plug in my income, how much I want to save, then all my predicable expenses (rent, insurance, car payment etc). Daily Budget then spits out a figure of how much I can spend for the day. It isn’t boxed into any specific category, which I love. And I find it so much easier working to a daily budget. If I don’t spend anything today, that rolls into tomorrow’s budget and I can plan for larger expenses that way. If I spend too much, I see the deficit and know I need to ease up for the next few days to recover. It takes all the complexity of balancing family finances and reduces it to a single number. Thank you for making my financial goals so much more attainable!
