Won’t connect to bank
App has been down since June 19th with no response from support despite multiple attempts. Can’t connect to bank. Please help!
Super easy to use
I’ve been using it for over a year now (free version) and it’s super easy to go add an expense into one of my ten dedicated categories while I’m out with friends or at the store
Interface is nice, but data sync is horrible
I used this app for a few months to track my budget. I put a lot of time in getting it set up. It’s great it can link to bank account accounts and credit cards and bring in data. However, sometimes it re-syncs and goes back to the past and brings back data that was already reviewed and reclassifies it to different categories or duplicates it. I just can’t trust it. If it would just let you mark a transaction reviewed and never change it or duplicate it, then it would be great, but it just seems to continue to make mistakes that way. So I don’t recommend it for budgeting. I moved to Quicken Simplifi and it seems to more stable so far. Gives you the chance to batch select or mark what you’ve reviewed, unlike Buddy.

Bank Connections Broke
I’ve been using Buddy for 18 months. The first year it was great! In 2026 I have had consistent issues with bank connections and lost transaction data, which completely ruins the point of using the app. Messages to support have gone unanswered. Don’t waste your money; find a different budget app.
Update is not good
I liked this app up until the latest update. It no longer lets you review transactions before it adds them so now I have to go through and recategorize what’s been added. It also takes so much longer to sync with my credit card and bank. If I use my credit card on Tuesday I’m lucky to see the transaction by Friday which also makes it difficult to budget because I now have to keep a running list of pending transactions in my head. I think I’m going to have to look for other options/apps to use.

Stopped functioning after 2 years
I used and loved this app for 1-2 years, I paid for a life time premium subscription. At times bank accounts got disconnected but that was not an issue as it was easily fixable. As of 2-3 months ago the app completely stopped working. None of my transactions carried over anymore, and the account totals did not update at all. I tried everything to fix it, re-synced, disconnected and reconnected all accounts multiple times, waited months and retried all these things over and over again, emailed customer support NUMEROUS times. Filled out service requests in the app. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE AT ALL. Very unhappy as I loved this app when it was working properly so this is extremely frustrating. The life time premium fee was NOT cheap, yet the premium app features (synced bank accounts that automatically update transactions) is now completely nonfunctional after 2 years, the app only functions like the free version.

Terrible interface
Will update when import functions get fixed.
The app was great and easy to use until recent updates completely rendered the bank transaction import function useless.
Not only does it import duplicate transactions that it previously imported but also no longer allows the user to review and edit imports before they get finalized. The review feature was super nice since it made it quick and easy to update multiple transactions

Works fine but in app purchase is not great
The App works fine for me. But when I switched to a new phone. It wiped out my life time premium purchase. And their support was not helpful when I contacted.
Help! No one from support is responding
App has been great for two years. Periodically has bugs/glitches but I’ve always received a quick and helpful response from support. My app has been frozen since June 19th. I have emailed support 5 times, tried from different emails, and even found another support email in reviews that I tried and still no response. I just want to be able to keep using without having to delete and reload the app and thus lose all my categorization from this year. Please help!

Nice if It Worked
Easy to use app to track spending in a few diff ways, but I can’t sync my accounts so there’s no tracking 😅
Good

Doesn't connect
It says sucks and when u complain Buddy says to request a refund
Refusing to respond to support emails
They’ve been ignoring me since June 20th.
This is despicable behaviour given that this app has exactly what I want.

Overall okay
Good and overall easy to use.
Just wish there was a feature to recalculate budget from weekly to monthly to annually for you, instead of making separate budgets that you have to update individually

No complaints. Not even minor bugs
Been loving it for years now. Best thing is there’s no ads even with the free version.
Easy to Use Basic Budget App
Love the app and it’s easy to use. Clearly shows your income and outgoing costs to see how much you are spending each day. I wish the app was more customizable with its layout. I haven’t tried to connect it directly to my bank account yet so I do not know much about that feature. I usually manually add my expenses each day.

most user-friendly budgeting app ever made
other budgeting apps i’ve tried are unusable for me compared to buddy. it’s become a part of my routine because it is so easy to use and personalize. as a result i actually know what i am spending each month. i recommend this app to all my friends because it works and it’s free!
The best app for your personal finances
It’s easy to use, like the dashboard
Extremely mediocre, borderline poor
I’ll keep this simple:
- the bank/credit card sync is totally broken
- transactions aren’t syncing, despite numerous efforts to reconnect and reset data
- transaction tagging is extremely poor
- customer support is useless

Best UK budget app I reckon 🔥
Found it really helpful to connect my bank and just track my budgets a little more visually. Didn’t realise how much I spend on random things, especially subscriptions!!! This buddy app just helps me hold myself a little more accountable!
Just needs a bit of time to set up, like either connecting your bank via open banking or uploading a file, but once you get going you can start budgeting easier. They have a pretty generous free trial, so I had set up multiple currencies to test, then realised it’s actually better than tracking in a spreadsheet. Perfect for me to toggle USD and GBP on various accounts I use for saving too.
