Clean looking and easy to use
I like the customizable categories with different colors and clean looking layout. It is easy to navigate and use. However, I wouldn’t recommend for family households unless you want to upgrade to premium subscription. Everyone has to make money though! I’ll stick with Excel for my family budget but would recommend this app for anyone who doesn’t mind paying the extra fee.Show lessJamandaH8619
STILL Unable to Create an Account
I seem to be running into a glitch where I’m unable to actually create an account with my Apple ID to sync my data. I bought the premium version after the free trial, so it should be linked to my Apple account - but it keeps saying the account doesn’t exist! Super frustrating, especially when everything else about the app is spectacular!
EDIT: This bug STILL won’t let me crate an account. I’ve tried clearing my data, uninstalling (which also clears my data because I can’t make an account), literally everything. No developer response. I give up. If anyone can get this to work, more power to you. Guess it’s back to drawing board for me.Show lessbrie.roses
Exactly what I’ve been looking for!
This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me visualize where my money is going. It’s easy to use and very visual. It’s not just numbers which helps me a lot.
It’s very customizable. I really can’t believe it’s free. I’ve never written a review for an app before but this one is just so good and it looks amazing. I’m already more conscious of my spending and I think this app is going to help me get my finances together.Show lessDygvhcdhvcddjjc
Great app! Easy to use.
I’m not the type to write reviews, but I have gotten my first job and would like to start making goals for myself and I’d like to know where I’m putting my money. With this app you can! Transactions can be scheduled with ease, the options are sensible and customizable. You can create several accounts and to be honest I don’t use the budgeting tab a lot, but there is so much you can do that is free to use… not having premium features has not limited me one bit.
The features I like are:
You can choose how often you get paid, helpful for budgeting.
Make several accounts, checking,saving, and funds!
Able to schedule automatic transfers/paychecks/expenses.
It’s basically like a mock bank account which is extremely helpful to be able to manage it all in one place and see how things play out.Show lessAnderker-YT
Do not buy! Zero communication from developer, who took $50 without providing services!!
This app at first seemed great, exactly what my wife and I had been looking for in an expense tracker. It worked well for the first few days, so we signed up for the annual $50 subscription.
A week later the apps on each of our phones were no longer syncing. We tried our own troubleshooting without any affect. We reached out to the developer and haven’t heard a word. This app is MASSIVELY bugged.
We spent a significant amount of time setting up a sizable budget on the app, but now we have no way at all of even accessing our previous accounts with that data. I tried to sign up for the seven day free trial of the premium features, which my wife had previously done, and was immediately charged the $50, same day, without any access at all to the premium features.
This app is a borderline scam and should be removed from the App Store. We are in the process of getting refunds with Apple, for the $100 we wasted on this.
Stay away! A sheet of paper and keeping a stack of receipts is better than this!Show lessMr. Toby86
I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time!
It does EXACTLY what I want except… I wish the rollover (which is a feature you don’t have to use if you don’t want to!) was by category so that I can “save up” in certain categories almost like a savings account. For example, I want to have a budget of $50 for gifts that would rollover to the next period so I have $100 the next period. This would help for things like birthdays and holidays!
Also the transferring money between accounts is bit confusing. For example, I used a credit card to pay for several things, then eventually I’ll use the money in my checking to pay the card. This can be done as a transfer between accounts, but a transfer requires a category (when all the transactions have already been accounted for in their respective categories!) Maybe an option set as “paying off a card” that doesn’t affect the budget itself? Because it’s not existing debt, but debt accumulated that period. Am I making sense? 😂😅
Regardless, I love this app and even if I have to do something manually, it’s superior to other apps, and the free version is not limiting at all! I’m considering upgrading to the paid version.Show lessalicekim1995

Thank you for this review and constructive feedback! I'm taking notes here 😃Just what I wanted!
It took going through about 10 other apps to finally find this one and I LOVE it. I tried the trial for premium and saw all the additional benefits including adding my loan information so each monthly transaction logged takes it off my loan account to keep track of how much I have paid off etc and how much to go on the graph - that’s what I’ve always wanted and same with adding to my retirement accounts, shows automatically how much I’m saving after I add a transaction - plus all my bills. I instantly paid for premium. Instead of 3 apps, I just use this one now and the interface is so easy and not confusing. It was definitely worth $99 for lifetime. Thank you!!Show lessLea Sue

I'm very happy to hear this! Thank you for the review 😊Best Budgeting App I’ve found
I tried probably close to a dozen budgeting apps/software out there. This has been the easiest to used and has really helped me with saving and managing my spending. I think it’s crucial to use a tool that isn’t so automated when it comes to budgeting apps. This is because making sure you log every purchase makes you much more aware of where your money is going.
Anyway, there is a bit of a learning curve for using the app but this isn’t necessarily unique. Specifically, the “Accounts” tab is still taking some getting used to, and I’ve been using the app for about 3 weeks. Transferring money between accounts is still confusing actually. I am hoping for future updates for this product, because it has real potential.
Most if not all drawbacks are really inconveniences. I have no large complaints that are keeping me from using it on a daily basis. Use this app, support the developer, and I hope it will get better and better.Show lessDavidAnthony1

Thank you for this helpful review! I'm taking notes here. 🙏 😊Pretty good
Love the design of the app compared to the other apps that are available on the app store. Only two complaints is that I can think of is that the math calculation is sometimes off, I don't know why. The last complaint is the annual fee. A bit excessive to be charging that kind of price as others offer the same function and purpose for free. Seems like you really are just paying for the customization of the app and the sharing functionality. I wish they had like a student plan.Show lessKOEXIUM
Tried five
I’ve tried Mint YNAB Goodbudget and Truebill - and this is by far the best one. Definitely worth the lifetime premium. It’s the same cost as six months of You Need a Budget for unlimited premium features. I love how much control you have over the additions and set up. It really gives a clear picture of your situation. I’ve already gotten set up to get out of debt seven years early! I am very pleased with this purchase. Mint would be my second choice. Some might not like the manual input but it actually helps me to track my overall costs. Great for those with variable incomes and changing monthly costs. I don’t use the partner features, but it seems like an amazing feature as well. The manual aspect really allows you to do everything with your goals in mind. Highly recommend.Show lessnewdorktimesreview
