### 4/5 — Good basic record

*2024-01-27, version 8.0.2*

This is good basic format for those who don’t want a budget to link up with bank or credit card records. I like enter each expense manually because it makes me much more aware of how we spend our $

### 4/5 — Great App

*2023-07-23, version 8.0.1*

This app is easy to use and is great for keeping track of your income and expenditures. You can make notes on each transaction and create a budget for each expense and income category. The monthly, quarterly, and annual data is presented as pie charts. There is a chart for income, another for income and expense, and a third for expense categories. I would recommend this app.

### 4/5 — Pop ups☹️

*2023-04-27, version 7.0.2*

Have always loved this app but the constant pop ups to purchase extra feature at every transaction are very, very annoying. I do not want to purchase and never will. Please discontinue . It really spoils what was a great tool.

### 4/5 — I like it, but I want more!

*2023-01-11, version 7.0*

I am using the app daily. What I would like to see is a separate category of budget for 'savings,capital' so that funds could be transferred back and forth. I would also like a notes section for the budget items. Apart from that I am happy so far. I’m still waiting for you to add a savings category…….

### 4/5 — Great budget tool

*2021-12-01, version 6.0*

It’s a great app. I downloaded an expensive other one but this one is better. It still seems to have a couple of flaws but then maybe it is me not using it correctly, but for a basic budget very good.

### 4/5 — Good basic record

*2021-07-21, version 5.1*

This is good basic format for those who don’t want a budget to link up with bank or credit card records.  I like enter each expense manually because it makes me much more aware of how we spend our $

### 4/5 — Just perfect

*2020-07-09, version 4.0*

Wow. I searched a lot and finally I found THE one apps. Works well. You can customize any way you want !

### 4/5 — Budget

*2018-10-04, version 3.4.1*

Good app. Easy to use. Be better if you can view all past entries without having to click on each week. Make things easier to see if something was paid a few weeks ago.

### 4/5 — Best budget for iPad

*2017-06-29, version 3.4.1*

Excellent to control your expenses.

### 5/5 — So easy to use

*2017-01-31, version 3.4*

This app has allowed me to keep track of all my purchases and stick to a budget.  I am able to add as many budget lines as I need, and label them with whatever title I want.  Great app that is stable and does it's job.

### 5/5 — Awesome and easy!

*2017-01-28, version 3.4*

This app is very easy to use and customize! Track all your spending, create recurring or one-time categories, even view previous months spending!

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2016-09-03, version 3.3*

Best Budget is a very workable app for me, much more so than other budget apps that I have previously tried. It is easy to set up, rolls over the previous month's money into the next month, and makes tracking our expenses and savings that much more do-able.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2016-05-22, version 3.3*

Love this app.  It allows me to see my finances in great detail month to month.

### 5/5 — Sra

*2016-02-03, version 3.2*

Excelente aplicación para controlar el presupuesto de gastos

### 4/5 — Good App interface needs fix

*2016-01-22, version 3.2*

Great app for what I use it for but weird pastel colors on the numbers are annoying. There are only two colors for numbers in accounting:  black for positive numbers and red for negative numbers. Also users should have the choice of rolling year end balances into the new year or NOT. It is hard to imagine anyone wanting to roll over one year into the next but that is what happens now without going through the lengthy process of setting up all your accounts anew. With these two fixes this would be an excellent app for me but not for those who want to enter invoices, cheques, bank, etc. it is not intended for that.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-12-08, version 3.2*

Great App! Super helpful; super easy. All of my finances are in order, thanks to this App!

### 5/5 — Terrific

*2015-12-08, version 3.2*

The app is easy to use and very helpful in sticking to a budget.

### 1/5 — Doesn't make sense

*2013-05-31, version 1.2*

This app makes no sense whatsoever.  When entering my income it didn't show up anywhere in the app.  How can I get a refund?

### 1/5 — Frustrating!

*2013-01-04, version 1.1*

The first thing this program did was ask me to put a password on it. As soon as i did it locked up and wont let me use it.  Each time i try to put in a password it shuts down.  I cant even open it. I wrote the company and they will not reply!

### 1/5 — Crappy Appie

*2012-12-24, version 1.1*

I put a pass lock on and could not get in. I deleted the app hoping it would reload with info. It didn't. I had to migrate info from the free app but had to update the changes I made to the paid version. Frustrating. I'm afraid to place another pass lock again. I emailed support 2x and have not heard anything back. I am adding expenses and it shows up in main frame for some reason and added expenses turn other expenses in red which we know is in the negative but I have enough to cover expense so I don't know why it's doing it. Pass.

### 2/5 — Excellent

*2016-06-09, version 3.3*

I used to use an old app called Budget, on my ipad 2. Now on ipad 3 and needed a new app. I had thought this app might replace it ... entering random dates from/to for budget, gbp, dropbox backup/restore, and transferring data from free to paid version was done in seconds and perfectly. I wasn't keen on the colours and layout, but the functionality and reliability had seemed good, but, 2 weeks on, I can't find how to stop it carrying over totals, it doesn't 'recurr' payments, totals wrong even if I delete any previous and now outdated budgets, I enter a dated expense but it doesn't file it in the right budget time period, and I can't stand the depressingly drab layout any more. Deleted.

### 2/5 — Issue

*2015-07-24, version 3.0*

I used the free app, thought it was great. Bought the app, pushed yes for the old and new to merge- but that didn't happen...very disappointed.

### 2/5 — Ok.

*2014-08-21, version 2.1*

Other than the fact that syncing is not automatic between devices, this app is ok.
Update: it's no longer my go to app but I still use it, but it's not my favourite. That would be Moneywiz. This syncing issue is a head scratcher: If you are syncing between devices, MAKE SURE that you use one device for data entry.  If you don't do this and backup from the secondary device, the latest data will be overwritten.  You get a warning but this is unusual.
The second oddity is using restore from iCloud backup. Sometimes I have to do a restore several times before the complete restore takes affect!

There was an update 24 July with "bug fixes".
Hopefully this is one of the bugs that got squished.
Update: the latest update (9 months in the making) has not fixed the issue where you have to restore several times before all of the data is restored. I'm beginning to lose any love for this app.
The Reports section basically shows you pie chart for whatever time period you select.  If you  can print any of this, I have no idea how.

### 2/5 — Great!!!!

*2013-09-09, version 1.2*

This app is very easy to work with.  Best I have found

### 2/5 — Forced review

*2012-12-13, version 1.0*

I rated this useful AP before I was ready to just to get rid of the constant irritating screen that asked me to rate it as soon as it was installed.  A real pain in the neck!

I think it ill be a good ap, but only time will tell...

Later...

It didn't stop asking for a rating!  Bummer..

### 3/5 — Need Ability to automatically sync and not manually export and import

*2023-11-30, version 8.0.2*

Really would like to do 5 star but can’t until this issue is resolve.

### 3/5 — Decent app but missing some things

*2016-02-22, version 3.2*

I have been using this app for a year now and love how simple it is to keep track of my finances. However, anytime one of my budget categories change, I can't make a change without it recurring retroactively. For instance, if I decide to increase my food budget because my kids are eating more, I need to delete the old category and create a new one instead of just editing the old one. After a year of changes, I'm quite frustrated and this is why it only earned a three star rating.
