No currency for the uk???? ### 4/5 — Seems good *2021-03-18, version 5.0* So far, so good. It works well and is very simple and easy to use. It’s exactly what I needed. ### 2/5 — My data disappeared *2020-01-13, version 4.0* I opened it, today, and all but one category disappeared. It was fine for a couple months, but I don’t know what happened all of a sudden between last night and today. I didn’t update anything , or sleep with my ipad within arm’s reach (so no sleep-swiping, or something). Everybody else here knows how an ipad works, has their own, and doesn’t touch mine. There is a backup function, but this seems mighty weird to me for a program to dump a bunch of data when it is a data-tracking program. ### 2/5 — Can't Print *2017-08-19, version 3.4.1* Not being able to print renders this product as useless... ### 4/5 — Bon logiciel *2017-03-19, version 3.4* Il fait le travail. ### 4/5 — Good budget app *2017-02-16, version 3.4* Nice app. Great for keeping track of spending. Be nice if there was a demo on how to use. Took a while to figure how to use. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Budget *2017-02-02, version 3.4* Very adaptable and works well for me ### 2/5 — Best budget *2016-07-05, version 3.3* I would like to see a current profit and loss statement on demand. ### 4/5 — Best budget *2016-06-06, version 3.3* Easy to use, carry overs can be enabled. ### 3/5 — I like this app! *2016-02-10, version 3.2* I really like this app but it is very difficult to back it up. I like the fact that each account's amount can carry over to the next month. It is set up just like my ledger budget at home. I would like the colors of the negative amounts and the positive amounts be in brighter colors so you can see them better. Also I would like the lines separating each account on the left hand side to be more prominent. Sometimes it's hard to tell where one begins and one ends. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Good for creating a special budget *2015-12-15, version 3.2* I used this to create a budget for a home improvement project. I really liked that you can create your own categories. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2015-12-13, version 3.2* I like this budget program, but there are a couple of significant drawbacks. First, once a month closes, it is locked. If you happen upon a receipt you missed, too bad. Second, and more of a problem: I damaged my iPad and had to replace it. There is no way to transfer data from this program. That's a big issue. ### 5/5 — Nice apps.. *2015-12-09, version 3.2* This is a nice apps for controlling expenses..😀 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s not as advertised *2024-09-01, version 8.0.2* I don’t mind paying for an app but I won’t be bled forever on subscription ### 1/5 — Review *2023-09-28, version 8.0.2* Poor app, too many ads. Many entry’s disappeared. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2020-12-05, version 5.0* Starts with advert bar just below menu, then ads appear on the left in amongst your expenses. Advert video plays when you click to analyse expenses. Cycle through menu options, oops, there’s another advert. Goodbye ### 1/5 — Has a glitch *2016-07-17, version 3.3* Can't change date!! ### 1/5 — Not quite there - Crashes *2015-10-09, version 3.1* App crashes constantly. I would not recommend until this is repaired. Found one that actually integrates budget and register. Better for me as I enter less data. ### 1/5 — If it has to say it, it probably isn't. *2015-02-08, version 3.0* Best? Hardly. Keeps freezing. ### 1/5 — Cool idea *2014-03-15, version 2.0* What the budget summery is and the pie graph summery is, are 2 completely different numbers I don't know how it worked that out... ### 1/5 — Confused *2013-08-28, version 1.0* I have just downloaded this app: and spent an hour reading the the help section and trying to fathom how things work. I so confused by setting budgets and things rolling over I gave up. Consequently only one undeserved star because the app: insists I I don't think it deserves a rating. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2013-01-20, version 1.0* Doesn't save any budget items. Fail app ### 2/5 — POINTLESS *2021-08-03, version 5.1* This should just be called expense log does not help with budget ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Budget *2021-08-01, version 5.1* I love the app it helps too keep me on track with my spending and three exact dates that my funds are debited ### 5/5 — Mr pearce *2021-02-11, version 5.0* Very good have been using since I had this iPad Approximately 2 years ### 5/5 — Sangat Bermanfaat *2018-05-18, version 3.4.1* APP ini sangat membantu untuk proyek kecil ### 5/5 — Work great *2017-10-24, version 3.4.1* I like the app is simple and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-05-28, version 3.4* Easy to use and keeps a simple budget ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2016-12-27, version 3.3* Sweet app ### 5/5 — Best app I have found *2016-09-07, version 3.3* I have been looking for a simple app to monitor my expenses and income as I travel across the country, this without question is the best app I have found for me!!! ### 5/5 — Very helpful for grad students *2016-05-25, version 3.3* As a grad student I struggled to record and keep track of my monetary habits. This app has thus far been extremely useful in not only tracking my spending, but also my monthly income. The charts are easy to read and add or subtract amounts and even allow for a percentage earned/ spent. The only thing I feel could be improved was a specific area for savings : instead of only income or expense categories.Very good design and simple to use. It's the best app I have ever downloaded. Thank you so much for creating it! ### 5/5 — Invaluable *2016-02-13, version 3.2* Using this app to keeping track of costs for a property renovation project. Absolutely superb. So simple to use. I am using my own codes for things like type of expense and where I bought stuff from then I can just search and get an idea where all my £'s are going! ### 5/5 — Best Budget *2015-12-28, version 3.2* I am able to track every cent. Very easy to use. Thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
