Nice app

It helps to keep track of your expense along the month

Good, but needs more customization

The good:

There’s a lot of categories you can make, if you pay for a subscription. The layout is very useful and easy to navigate. Allowing users to connect
to their bank account makes it easy to track spending.

My wish list:

I wish the developers consider a few things to make the app even better by allowing more customization.

1. Allow users to add notes to their budget and for each category because it’s can be more complicated than a single number. 2. Allow users to select weekly, biweekly, every other month, etc for each category. Someone may have income for seasonal reasons or don’t have to pay for something every month.

I want to save money not spend more

The main thing I need in a budget app is to link my bank account to it. This wants $10 a month or $50 a year to do that. The entire point of me getting a budgeting app is to SAVE money, not spend more

Great

Yeah

Edit the connecting banks

Only wish it could edit/ delete accounts/cards in a connected bank.
