Leave a Review Pennies
Simplicity. It’s greatest strength and weakness.
Elegant and easy to use interface, but it lacks important attributes. The best way I can describe it is: simplicity at the expense of key features.
I would suggest the following:
1. Incorporate Face ID. Currently, it feels as though my financial information is exposed.
2. Make the widget customizable and interactive. Currently, the widget feels like a shortcut to the app. It shows information I don’t need or want to display while my phone is locked. Also, the widget should be interactive in a way that users can enter new transactions directly from the widget.
3. Remove the constant request to subscribe to your newsletter every single time a budget is created. Leave it in the settings as an option or a one time pop up when the app is first installed. Currently it feels very forced.
I absolutely love how beautiful and easy to understand this app is.
Thank you for the opportunity to use your app and provide feedback.Show lessJeviel
Pennies best!
Easy to use and understand. If you're always blowing the budget, then pennies is for you!Tanasalisha
Clean and simple, but with finicky controls
The app is slick and looks great. It’s easy to use and only gets easier the more you use it.
The only gripe I have with it is how finicky and hard it is to swipe on the main screen. Swiping right or left both have the function of switching through your budgets, or if you start your swipe closer to the edge of the phone it’ll go to all your budgets or your expenses. It’s a little hard to operate.
Other than that, it’s really clean and simple. One thing to note is that it does not link to you bank account and automatically track your expenses. However, I prefer this more because automated expense tracking often messes up or categorizes incorrectly. That’s just something to keep in mind.Show lessmatmcc25
Sinple and straight forward
Been looking for something simple and clean to use. Though there can be a few extra features, it is too great out of the!
Some crappy budgeting apps charge a monthly fee when all they are are confusing, over frilled and lacking the basic budgeting features such as being able to creating multiple budgets with DIFFERENT Reoccurrence dates and start dates.
This app wins and it doesn't ask for a silly monthly subscription.Show lessamar340
Exactly what I wanted to budget
I have tried multiple apps, most of which connect to your bank account, to help create weekly budgets. The problem is I don’t want that much information I simply wanted to give myself a budget of “x” amount of dollars for each category and this works PERFECTLY for that. I also love that I can use my Apple Watch to plug in my purchases on the go. Has really helped me!Show lesssustop5
Slow
I’ve been using pennies for years now and it is the perfect budget app. It’s simple and the interface is so clean. But for the last couple months it is been insanely slow. On a tap it take 1-3 seconds to register the press. I tried reinstalling the app, but that didn’t help either.
Edit:
With the new update this app is back to the greatness it was before.Show lessJsal517
Best budgeting app!
I've been using this app for years now. It's so easy and once you're in the habit of inputting all your transactions it becomes your best friend. I use this for day-to-day use as well as when I have separate budgets for trips or events. I love that it splits up my budget everyday to tell me how much I can spend each day to make it last until my next paycheck. I highly recommend this app!Show less95smiles
Perfect Budgeting App
My husband and I love this app. We use it weekly to budget our finances. Please keep this app going and thank you!
One thing that would be great if it could sync between different phones. So my husband and I wouldn’t have to update each other’s apps individually. Maybe it already does this and if it does I would love to learn how to use this feature.
I hope this app stays in use cause it’s a lifesaver.Show lessNatCunning
Good but could be better
A very good and supportive app in managing your money each month. It gives you the ability to track exactly what you’ve spent and how you could be more frugal with your money.
My only criticism is you cannot set up recurring monthly outgoings. I would love to see me be able to track my entire monthly spend rather than just what I have left over as the app puts it in their FAQs. I will still use it but I feel a simple change would increase the functionality of the app and support more people!Show lessWaggy284
Great simple to use app
I have a budget where I live on a weekly allowance. It was so hard to find an app that would work well with a weekly budget instead of a monthly one. This one works perfectly for me. It is simple to use, fast, looks slick, handles recurring income or expenses, handles several budgets (we have one for the family and one just for me), it doesn't connect to my bank account or anything else which is great, it tells me how many days are left in the week which is a nice reminder, it keeps a history of everything I've spent, it didn't need me to create categories or anything like that to get started, I like just being able to put in an expense and a short description and be done. Super simple, super effective, and it looks great.Show lessnigelbloomy
