Awesome App
This app was exactly what I was looking for, I could t find it because I was searching “budget app”, this app came up when searching “expenses”. Anyway, totally worth my $3.99. Great functions and I love how it eliminates all the useless clutter.
One constructive criticism: when inputting an expense, after inputting a note, it would make it easier if I didn’t have to press the check to finalize the input.
But I can live with it. Thank you very much for making this app so easy to use!!!Show lessZaulAngel
Disappointing
I have used Yolt and really liked this but as this seemed to be iPad friendly, I thought I’d fork out the £3.99. I was so disappointed that it does not connect to your bank as this essentially means your have to manually input the spends, calculate your own budget. I couldn’t even work out how to go about amending the budget I had created (it asks you to guesstimate how much you want to save and how much you have left etc.)
It looks great and I like the idea but until it’s able to connect to your accounts and show your spend (or overspend) in real time, it seems rather pointless. It says I can ask for a refund so now I’ll work out how to do that...Show lessRebecca131
Great App So Far, Want Graphs
This app has been a great use so far, and it’s nice to see which “envelopes” are nearing their end and which ones are still full with money. Being able to transfer money from one budget to another is really nice too. For the price, this app is great.
One thing I would like to see is graphs. I’m a visual person and as much as I enjoy the minimalistic look of this app, the list of transactions can only go so far for me. I would love to see graphs (bar, line, etc) of my spending and transfer habits, as I love to look at the impact of my expenses and spending habits over time.Show lessmynameisreco
Exactly what I need
I’m in grad school and on a super tight budget. Pennies lets me make budgets that are easy to keep up with and even easier adjust when I need to. I have a weekly budget that I use for food and rent, and any left over money rolls over perfectly to the next week. I also have a one-off budget that contains my life savings (it’s not high). It’s nice to see where I am, and I can easily add money or take it out when I need to. Sure, I could look at my bank account for the totals, but it’s nice to have pennies so easily accessible.Show lessThisguywhoplaysgames
Really useful app and simple
Unlike a lot of budgeting apps which I have found hard to get up and running pennies is really simple and easy to follow it is clear and gives you lots of opportunities to see where you are going wrong or where you are saving
I wish you could put in your wages so you can track how you are spending to avoid overdraft maybe this can be included in future updates but I am really pleased and it is really helping me to manage my money betterShow lessDannyruss11
Ahead of the Rest
The app is so clean and simple to use and doesn’t try to do absolutely everything that other apps do [poorly], which makes this a standout.
I’m so happy that some of the bugs that used to slow the app down were found and fixed. It’s back to being as fast and responsive as it was on day one of use.
I would love to see the ability to select budgets to share with a partner. I feel that this is something that no app does well at the moment and I think that the Pennies developer would do it in a really user friendly way.
This app is a must have!!!Show lessshillier90
I want to love it
Let me start by saying that this app has changed my finances! It is so easy to stay on track, add and delete budget items, and move money around.
The issue is this app always makes my phone crash. I have an iPhone 7, and at least twice a week this app will just randomly kick me out, freeze and then kick me out, or just freeze to the point where nothing works and I have to restart my phone.
It’s extremely frustrating, but when it’s working, the app can’t be beat!Show lessSportsDeprived
Important part of my budgeting
As someone who historically has been super disorganized with my finances this app is a godsend. I use a couple of apps to get everything organized now and they all have their place. They are all great for future planning or looking at the past. The one thing that was missing was the immediate “can I afford this?” With pennies I know immediately what I can and can’t buy. It also has the flexibility of changing along wit my needs of large expenses come up. It’s just perfect. Emile, the developer, is also great at responding to queries and feedback. I couldn’t recommend this more.Show lesssiddhwat
A keeper!
This is a great app! Thoughtfully designed, slick user experience and very effective in helping me to budget. Highly reocmmended!Roger Qian
Was a great app
Then I switched to an iPhone X and the app constantly crashes and grinds the entire phone to a crawl. Waiting 30 seconds to be able to kill the app is ridiculous for something this simple. One the app is removed from background the phone springs back to life. Waited roughly 12 months for a fix and despite numerous “optimisation updates” it’s still terrible.
Also it freaks out when you change time zones for some reason. Every trip to North America results in doubling or halving your money remaining. It resets once you come back into your original zone.Show lessBandaid on my forehead
