### 4/5 — مطلوب عنوان التطبيق باللغة العربية

*2026-08-21, version 8.17.0*

حبذا لو كان اسم التطبيق باللغة العربية عندما تكون اللغة العربية هي الاساسية .. مع الشكر

### 4/5 — Label toewijzen

*2026-03-25, version 8.2.0*

In de huidige versie omslachtig. Vorige was gebruiksvriendelijker .

### 4/5 — DEJO DE SINCRONIZAR!

*2026-03-24, version 8.2.0*

Desde la última actualización, de hace unos días, la versión iPhone ya NO sincroniza con la versión Mac!

### 2/5 — Elrendezés

*2026-03-23, version 8.2.0*

A frissítés után a billentyűzet kitakarja a választható rovatokat.

### 4/5 — Great app but…..

*2026-03-21, version 8.2.0*

This is a really useful and great app but I feel that being able to make an auto input when you pay via Apple or Google pay would be really useful. That way, you will not forget to enter the data later. Other than that, really useful and I use it every day. 👍

### 2/5 — Aktualisierung Budget !!!

*2026-02-11*

Budget funktioniert nicht mit selbst erstellten Kategorien

### 5/5 — Vitalício e Completo

*2026-02-01*

Esse app realmente foi construindo para ajudar as pessoas. Parabéns a toda a equipe e sucesso.

### 5/5 — Incredible finance app!

*2026-01-22, version 7.26.0*

An outstanding financial tool! The cloud synchronization is flawless, making the transition between iPhone and Mac perfectly smooth. It has genuinely helped me organize my finances. Highly recommended

### 3/5 — Le top mais des bugs

*2026-01-16, version 7.26.0*

J’ai baissé la note, l’application est toujours aussi bien, mais il y a des bug régressifs, des problèmes qui apparaissent et qui n’existaient pas avant. Je pense un problème de gestion du développement et des tests de régression.
***************
J’ai évalué près d’une dizaine d’applications et celle là est de loin la meilleure. Elle est parfaite, j’ai mon solde immédiat, mon solde prévisionnel…
Le seul point à améliorer serait le nombre d’icônes pour les rubriques. Il est suffisant et le nombre de rubriques est illimité, mais certaines applications ont plus d’icônes.
L’application est top, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés et passer à la version pro. Je recommande fortement.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-04, version 7.25.0*

I think it's the first time that I leave a review without the app asking me to, great app, it's crazy that it is free

### 5/5 — Creación de etiquetas

*2026-01-04, version 7.25.0*

Creo que hay un bug, no permite añadir etiqueta, no se ve el botón +

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-12-27, version 7.25.0*

Very nice and intuitive to explore thru tabs, categories and all the options available

### 4/5 — Notifications?

*2025-12-17, version 7.24.0*

Great app!!! The only problem I have is that I cannot find the app in notifications section  in settings on ios.

### 4/5 — Consigliata

*2025-12-09, version 7.23.0*

Tra le tante applicazioni provate per la gestione della finanza penso che questa sia una delle migliori, perché è semplice, anagrafica minimal ma curata, ed è una buona applicazione con un costo contenuto all’acquisto una tanto molto molto consigliato. Logicamente può essere migliorata soprattutto alla gestione dei tag nella gestione della categoria perché ha un menu un po’ pigro, dovrebbe essere un menu più snello più fruibile più veloce non mi piace che mi hai gestita i tag. Va molto migliorato.

### 2/5 — Poder cambiar de iconos

*2025-12-05, version 7.23.0*

Poder cambiar los iconos de la App por los iconos de iPhone

### 5/5 — Ottimo aggiornamento

*2025-12-03, version 7.23.0*

Update ultima versione:
Risolti i bug con l’ultimo aggiornamento.
Risposta dello sviluppatore rapida ed efficace!
Probabilmente la nuova veste grafica, pesantemente rinnovata, portava con sé dei difetti di gioventù.

Lo uso da qualche anno, è ottimo e migliora costantemente. Bravi. Solo una piccola imprecisione: quando in modalità “settimana” si visualizza la categoria “settimana” calcola la media giornaliera su sei giorni invece che su 7

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht!

*2026-07-21*

Die App ist absoluter Schrott

**Developer response:** Hello,
Could you let me know which part of the app isn't working for you? 

I'd be happy to help you out.

### 1/5 — Mal proceso de actualización

*2026-04-19, version 8.5.0*

Cada vez que realizan una actualización, se borra información y clasificaciones de gastos que habías incorporado. Se puede percibir que es una App administrada por personas poco técnicas…

### 1/5 — Last Update Doubled My Expenses and Incomes

*2026-04-16, version 8.4.0*

With last update all my expenses and incomes were doubled, I tried to find if it was only for last month but it doubled all since I started to record them, I tried to run a backup copy but didn’t work. 
Hope you can bring a solution.

### 1/5 — This is getting worse

*2026-03-17, version 8.1.2*

Update March 2026
Shared accounts was added and upcoming features were included in money board pro, but this feature was not included and if we want to use it we have to subscribe and I find this very disrespectful to loyal customers

Previous review
November 2025

app keeps failing, design it's horrible.
Developer response is a copy paste message that says: "Hi, I understand that you preferred the previous version, but unfortunately it is not possible to bring back the previous version. As we continue adding more features, changes will need to be made in the app."
They are not adding any new features here, they are just making unnecessary changes on the design to feel more Liquid Glass .
Needless to say, Liquid Glass iOS 26 is the worst update ever seen

This app has been the best of AppStore for many years, everything has been working perfectly without any need to completely change the design.
The app is failing at adding transactions, the design has been fully destroyed, the way it was the last year was perfect, nothing extraordinary has happened that need to have such huge change.
Sometimes developer feels the need to make a 360 degrees to the app but this only lead them to destroy what once was perfect perhaps this app has been assigned to a different developer because right now the
performance is very poor in every sense and the design is horrible

### 1/5 — Pessima

*2025-11-29, version 7.23.0*

Non funziona, non registra le transazioni.

### 1/5 — I give up on  Moneyboard

### 1/5 — 🚨Invaden la privacidad 🚨

*2025-10-22, version 7.21.0*

Esta App accede a las fotos del dispositivo , sin pedir permiso. ¿ de verdad se arriesgan a darles *todo* lo que tienen ahí ?

### 1/5 — Last updated not working

*2025-10-07, version 7.18.0*

With the last update everything is confused and bugs, all 3 years of transactions are now bugs, I don’t know what they did seriously, I will wait and see if it come back to normal.

### 1/5 — Desastrosa ultima actualización

*2025-10-05, version 7.17.0*

Llevo muchos años utilizando esta aplicación sin problema y con la última actualización no he perdido los datos, pero ya no me hace el sumatorio de gastos e ingresos, ni el balance total. Un desastre

### 5/5 — Ruim no mais importante

*2026-06-20*

Não dá pra entender por que existe período na parte superior do aplicativo, se ele só faz avaliação dos últimos três meses. Qual é exatamente a intenção dos programadores? Se usuário quer ter uma visão geral do que ele gastou durante o período, que lixo só vê três meses não dou menos estrelas porque não dá

### 5/5 — de mieux en mieux

*2026-05-30*

J'utilise cette application depuis près de cinq ans et je ne peux plus m'en passer chaque jour des améliorations apparaissent, néanmoins je trouverai plus agréable de pouvoir changer un débit en crédit et vice versa, car parfois il m'arrive de noter un débit et de m'en rendre compte que j'ai comme une erreur, il serait bien au lieu de tout recommencer, de pouvoir juste permuter le crédit en débit ou le débit en crédit, mais ce n'est qu'un détail car le reste est juste parfait, bravo pour cette application qui pour moi est de loin la meilleure.

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre soutien ! Nous sommes ravis que vous appréciez Moneyboard!

### 5/5 — Me gusta

*2026-03-31, version 8.3.0*

Lo mejor de lo mejor

### 5/5 — Actualización corregida

*2026-03-27*

Con la ultima actualización, la version de Mac y iPhone vuelven a sincronizar perfectamente!. Gracias!

### 5/5 — Money

*2026-03-26, version 8.2.0*

Applicazione stupenda e ben fatta. Bravi

### 5/5 — Genial aplicación para control rápido

*2026-03-14, version 7.26.0*

Me encanta la facilidad para entender cómo funciona y la rapidez para meter gastos separados por presupuestos de proyectos

### 5/5 — Best budget tracking app ever

*2026-03-01, version 7.26.0*

Best budget tracking app ever, just try it by yourself and see!

### 5/5 — Casi perfecta

*2026-02-20, version 7.26.0*

Me gustaría que se pudiera ampliar la foto como se podía antes

### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación

*2026-02-07, version 7.10.0*

Es muy buena aplicación y me gusta que es muy práctica y sirve para llevar tus cuentas claras y tener un análisis como toda aplicación necesitas conocerla. para poder disfrutarla al máximo es una buena aplicación, yo la recomiendo mucho por ser práctica y puedes crear cuentas para llevar tus gastos mes por mes y así llevar un historial, yo la recomiendo mucho yo la ocupo para mis presupuestos mensuales y es una gran aplicación.

### 5/5 — L’application sur mesure

*2026-02-04*

Facile d’utilisation et complète,cette application permet de gérer plusieurs comptes avec la visualisation permanente du solde actuel et du solde différé des transactions ou opérations à venir.
Je l’ai installé sur mon Mac et mon IPhone.
J’ai programmé mes budgets mensuels et annuel,le suivi est facile,seule manque la possibilité d’appliquer une couleur différente à chaque budget,comme il est possible de le faire pour les différents comptes.

Belle application tout de même !!!
