Easy and simple
Really easy to use and is simple to set up and organise. It is a bit annoying that you have to pay to have more than 4 categories of spending (groceries, petrol etc) but that’s easy to work around and it isn’t expensive so I bought it and it’s handy but not essential to use the app I just like organising things into categories.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Lots of our users say that the money they are able to save with the app is far more than the upgrade cost so we hope users understand! So you can try our free version and with its help you will save enough money for the upgrade!
Very helpful and easy to use.
I have only been using this app for about a week, but I already feel a great sense of security and pleasure knowing how much money I have to spend on myself, how much I am saving, and how much goes to bills.
This app is very easy to use. I have already spoken with the developers about this, and their response makes sense to me. I asked them if there was a way to budget for groceries or gasoline, common items that I will guaranteed be purchasing every month but will have a different price every month. I wanted to budget myself an amount of money to use that month, then subtract from that fund every time I made a purchase in that category, allowing me to see how much I spend in that area, and better planning for the next month, AND potentially saving the extra budgeted money.
The developers let me know this would make the app just. Bit to complicated, and they did not want to see it in their app. I completely understand them. I will continue to use this app, and I am so glad I finally started caring about this aspect of my life.

I love and hate this app
I have used this app for over a year and it has been a love and hate relationship. On one hand, I absolutely love the minimal layout. It makes the cumbersome process of managing your finances easy. This app makes me actually want to track my spending, observe trends, and stay within budget. No other app or program has done that.
This app would be perfect but it does have one issue I have consistently run across: bugs! It is so frustrating to spend hours inputting every transactions only to find out that it all got erased when the budgeting cycles miraculously disappear or change their start and end times. I wish there was a way to back up your data and restore the apps data when these bugs occur.
I will keep using it just because I have spend so much time plugging all my data and because I do love it for its simplicity and design. However I do wish it was more stable.

Wish I had this years ago!
Finally a simple budget app that is easy to use, attractive and most of all, not long-winded or laborious. Allows me to plan for big spends and take account of monthly payments. Works on the basis of spending your income for that month, so you don't have to worry about actually balancing it with your account which I've tried in the past and was hard. I've bought the package and very happy with that too.

The app I never knew I needed
This is the budgeting app I never knew I needed! I’m only two weeks in but I’m already impressed. I’m still skeptical because I’ve tried many apps that eventually don’t work out, which is why I’m cautiously giving it a 4 star for now. For some reason, these other apps are overly difficult to keep track of a budget. It just never made sense to me. A budgeting app should make your life easier, not more difficult. With Daily Budget, I like that I can input fixed income, costs, and savings. I also like the ability to see my daily budget and add any (+) or (-) costs. It has a reminder option that I turn on for 9pm that way I can input my costs at the end of the day, if my day was chaotic and busy. I was sick of over-spending and not having a clue of where my money was going. Life is a variable though and this app allows the flexibility to spend money every day, if needed, but spend it more consciously (as you’ll have a set daily budget determined by your fixed incomes, costs, and savings). It’s exactly what I needed. I love that the basic functions are FREE. I also like that you can individually purchase any other functions you might need. I bought the no ads, more categories, and graphs add-ons and I don’t regret one bit. I’ll be back in a few months to update my review and re-rate it.

Simplicity is king
I use this whenever I spend and find its user interface so easy it’s hard not to be aware where your money is going. Every time I think of something I’d like add or I wished it would do, I realise that the simplicity is what makes me come back. It clears the picture for me by removing what is being budgeted for, and leaving me only to track the areas I have control over. Result? Automatic savings and limits on my spending. Well done guys!

THE REAL DEAL
This app is amazing. I've tried SO many different apps for budgeting and none of them even come close to comparing to this app. This app is so well organized and so detailed. I love all of the categories and that I'm able to keep things separate that I want to keep separate. It even has a feature that helps you save up for big expenses you know are coming up (like Christmas, or summer camp payments, or tuition)! It figures in how much you need to save in a certain amount of time and adjusts your daily budget for you. I spent the money to have the full version of this app and it is absolutely worth it. I'm a college student who needs a simple budget that tells me exactly how much I'm allotted to spend each day in order to save a certain amount of money. This app is top. Get it. You won't regret it.

Actually works
I've tried unsuccessfully to use Mint for a while to stick to a budget, and it's been a mess. I just started using this app and I'm already much more on track. I thought that manually entering expenses would be a pain, but I find that it keeps me much more mindful of what I'm spending my money on and what I have available. The simplicity of this approach is preferable to the automation of Mint. I particularly love being able to enter all of my fixed expenses, plan for big expenses, and let the app tell me how much I can spend safely on a daily basis while still saving what I want and factoring everything in for me. Really well done model for saving. Plus, look at the reviews. The developer is super responsive. That's worth a lot.

The simplest-to-use budgeting app
So simple to use! You put in your monthly income and expenses, and the app tells you how much money you have to spend on variable expenses. This is so much clearer than most budgeting apps, which divide up spending and income into lots of categories so it is harder to see the big picture. You see how much money you can spend each day, and it accumulates so that it is okay to have days when you spend more or less than that number. I have used this app to keep track of vacation spending as well as everyday spending, and I think it is the best budgeting app that exists. My one (minor) complaint is that you can reset the app, but it deletes all of your data - I wish there were a way to reset spending totals without losing all of the data that I had previously recorded.

It works - for real.
Update after using for 6 weeks: it's even better than I expected. You never know how apps will pan out over the long term, but this is, by a very long way, the best budgeting app I've ever used. I love how I put my fixed costs in and the minimum I want to save and then that's it. Those costs are not relevant to me when they come in (because they are already "paid for" with this budget tool), so I only need to focus on the variable expenses. I don't have any fixed costs in for food because it's so much in my control (e.g., do I really need to buy groceries, or can I eat what's here? Do I have money to go out to eat?). Over Mother's Day weekend expenses got high because I took my mom out for dinner & drinks and bought her a gift. But even with that, this app I helped tremendously. I was "in the orange" for about 5 days, so I just was really-really careful about not spending during that time. Anyway, I could go on...if you don't think budgeting can work for you, try this app. It will surprise you.
Previous review:
I've just started with it, but wow. Very enlightening. I know it'll work. I, too, like that it doesn't automatically load in expenses. I have plenty of apps that do that, and it doesn't help keep my budget going. This has.
