Great app!

This is a fantastic tool for budgeting up to two years in advance and for tracking several different accounts. I don’t know what I would have done without it! Would give this 10 stars if I could!!

Best app

This is by far the best budget app alllows multiple accounts - highly recommend

Would Recommend - Minor Adjustment Needed

This is a fantastic app and does the job nicely for keeping track of regular finances. There is a requirement, which I have brought to the Developers attention, whereby the Forecast Graph needs to report on the EOD Balance (days income-outgoing) instead of the Start Balance. Also, it would be good to have a confidentiality statement for when you are requesting support. Aside from that, this app is just what I needed and enables me to keep track of my finances on the go without having to worry about frequent updates of “the books”. If the app considered the above, it would have been 5 stars hands down. Well done!

Bal guide

Basic, very easy to use, can set up multiple accounts make transfers across accounts. Can view graphs if that’s what floats your boat and even see how rich or poor you’ll be in the future, all for less than two quid. Highly recommended.

Easy to use once set up

I love being able to see my account balance against each transaction.
I would love there to be an option to change payments in the forecast depending on budget/Wages as I can allocate a varying amount depending on budget/wages.

Great app

Would be even better if I could list all my months events rather than starting from today’s date, wondering if I input an expense from 4 days ago!

Still the best

After the latest update it still works a treat. It’s my most used app and invaluable for budgeting up to two years ahead. The ability to add several accounts is extremely useful. Thank you!

Balance

Since Jan 19 if I add or change a payment the balance goes mad. Into the minus by several thousand pounds. There seems to be a change of year blip!!!!!

Response from developer

Sorry about that. There was an issue which caused this at the time. However this was fixed soon afterwards. Thanks. Jules.

Finally managed to control my cash flow forecast !!

Perfect app and good displays .. would be fantastic if :

1) When changing individual dates and amounts for reoccurring transactions .. it should simply ask if I would like to change “only this transaction” or would I like to “change all future transactions”

2) I would prefer the app giving me a notification before assuming that the planned transaction is overdue or “ended” as the app calls it, when the due date passes .. most transactions “even though planned” would for sure face a few days slippage or so !

3) it should give the option of making part of the payment in some cases .. I believe it’s called “split” in other apps.. for example if I’m setting a monthly expenditure “budget” for fuel of say $50 .. I should be able to pay $10 and it should give me the option of pushing back $40 to later that month

If you do the above .. I believe we will have the best all rounded app !

Fantastic

I don’t normally write reviews but this app is amazing! Really helps me to see the month ahead and what changes I need to make.

No semi-monthly

How do you make a budget app and don’t have a semi monthly recurrence. It’s cool that you have an every 2-weeks, but what about the months with 5 weeks....?! I can’t remember if I spent for this. I hope it’s a free app cause it’s useless without a recurrence the way 90% of people get paid.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review and thanks for your patience. You can set monthly recurrences with a specific day of the month, therefore it would say always happen on the 25th. Perhaps I’ve misunderstood? Best regards, Jules.

Brilliant app

Great for checking future balances.
Would like to be able to import transactions via csv.

Great app; great support

I've tried a few of these apps and this is by far the best I've found for keeping track of multiple accounts. The only thing it lacks is a summary list of accounts with balances although it does give you a total balance.

Very useful app

I am using it track three accounts. It's handy for reminding me what's coming out, when and if I need to move money between accounts. Entering bills is so simple. Enter a category if you want, it doesn't matter.
Most finance software require you to be very precise about entering all transactions in the past to get the balance correct. While entering all known future transactions will help the forecast accuracy don't get uptight about any in the past that you miss. Just reset the balance to the previous days bank balance and you're off again.

Fantastic

Loving this. I'm a contract worker, not paid for hols or sickness. I can now project forward 9 months or more, factoring anticipated expenditure, to see what I can budget for Christmas etc! Helps me sleep better too !

Nearly perfect

This app does just what I was looking for - track and forecast balance in an account. Unfortunately it doesn't sync between installs (unless you backup / restore). I would love if that feature was added - that would allow my wife and I to instantly view our financial status!
