### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2026-03-20, version 0.10.3*

I use this as my main expense tracker but the “recurring” doesn’t work and deleting transactions doesn’t either

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-12-21, version 0.9.13*

Very flexible app. Great for our vacation and traveling. However, I deductions star because the note field on reached expense does not expand to see all the text written. I suggest this for the next release: bigger text field for viewing notes.  Thanks!!!

### 4/5 — iPad Compatibility

*2025-03-20, version 0.9.10*

So many budget apps out there- I wanted receipts to be scanned, fair pricing, and to manage personal and small business tracking. This app does it all- so glad i took the time to explore what’s out there. I only wish the app was compatible to work in landscape mode on my iPad- I also wish I could make a “Custom Recurring” expense- my website domain and other features renew at 2 years and 4 years. I also wish it had the ability to automatically categorize my receipts when I scan them, but it is easy enough to do manually. Very straightforward.The app is fabulous and I’m glad I found it!!!⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

### 4/5 — Great app . Love the split ups New category not reflecting in the list

*2025-01-31, version 0.9.10*

Love the app. Been using it for a while now. And gives me a great view. 
Couple of things I’m having trouble with -

*After adding a new category it does not show up on the list. And that makes it confusing when I’m seeing my monthly expenses and those ones shows under no category instead of the new one just created. Please have a look at this . 

*When I go to the pie chart icon and go to the details of the income/expense and it shows me a breakup based on category,  Would be great if clicking on each category will give me the list of expenses under each category and  take me to the specific expense as well. 

*Cannot make a search with the amount itself.

### 2/5 — Support is non existent apparently

*2024-08-26, version 0.9.10*

We were setting this up when we were logged out. This happened before our password was set up. When we tried to log back in it said too many log ins. We emailed for support but have heard nothing. If you were planning to use this app for business/personal planning (which we were) waiting for days for a response to an email is unacceptable.

### 2/5 — Can’t use

*2024-06-26, version 0.9.9*

This app doesn’t work for my iPhone 14 Pro. Maybe I’m missing something but it’s really hard to click the check mark and I can’t add any income become the black bar at the top of my phone that’s some sort of command center is in the way :( I really liked this app before.

### 4/5 — Love App needs iPhone 15 update

*2023-12-30, version 0.9.9*

Love love this app!  Only thing that needs improvement is updating it with the iPhone 15 screen. The tabs at the top of the screen when imputing a purchase or deposited are mixed with the iPhone info tabs at the top and make it hard log the information

### 3/5 — Love the app but has a bug

*2023-12-26, version 0.9.9*

I’ve been using this app for many years now, absolutely love the app. So why do I only give it a 3 star rating you might ask? At the beginning this bug didn’t exist and made my life a lot easier. 

But there is a bug in the app where recurring transactions duplicate. All my bills come out on the first of the month, So I set up a monthly recurring transaction for all my bills to save me from doing it every month. Absolutely loved this, until a bug came out which would duplicate the transaction for the previous month. So come the 1st of January for example, the recurring transaction would make that same transaction on the 1st December the previous month, which means I have 2 of the same bills coming out the previous month. 

Really annoying bug, that I have been in constant contact with customer service to get a fix. There is still no fix and been going on for over 7 months now. 

Once fixed and only when it’s fixed would I be giving this app 5 star.

### 4/5 — Exactly What an Expense Tracker Should be

*2023-12-20*

Pros:
- Accounts management customization
- Tracks expenses and savings
- Customizable categories
- Customizable currencies
- Useful charts and graphs for overview
- Backs up and exports data well
Cons:
- Entries sometimes go missing and then come back
- Shows wrong totals at times
- In iOS buttons on top are very problematic and have been a hit or miss on iPhone 15 Pro Max

What should be added:
Option to track a particular expense between selected dates

**Developer response:** Hi ahmedhassan26, thank you for your feedback. Would you be able to send us a screenshot of the issue, your account details, and a bit more information of the issue to support@bookipi.com and we will have a look into this for you.

### 4/5 — Great app - problem on iPhone 15

*2023-11-19, version 0.9.9*

Live this app been using it for a year. Upgraded my phone to iPhone 15 pro and now the close out button does not work on the app interface. 
Dont know if its the new phone or the new IOS but it does need an update now.

### 4/5 — Love it!! But needs an update

*2023-11-19, version 0.9.9*

Absolutely love this app, it's easy to use. However it's not functional on the new IPhone Products. 
Check marks in the corner of the screen is non-responsive

### 3/5 — APP isn’t adaptable to iPhone 14 pro max screen

*2023-09-19, version 0.9.9*

This app isn’t adaptable to the iPhone 14 pro max screen. The notch at the top of the phone interferes with the expense, income, exit and save button. It really does make it difficult to add my information. Please make the UI more adaptable to different devices.

### 2/5 — APP isn’t adaptable to iPhone 14 pro max screen

*2023-09-03*

This app isn’t adaptable to the iPhone 14 pro max screen. The notch at the top of the phone interferes with the expense, income, exit and save button. It really does make it difficult to add my information. Please make the UI more adaptable to different devices.

### 5/5 — Take it

*2023-04-24, version 0.9.7*

Intuitive, and makes the job perfectly! Thanks you

### 5/5 — Very good

*2023-02-07, version 0.9.7*

Thanks very very very very good

### 2/5 — Seems buggy and low quality work

*2023-01-31*

LogIn via google doesn’t work frequently. In such cases I will have to force close the app before retrying. 

Recurring income gets duplicated without any understandable or explicable reason. 

Export functionality never worked. It keeps saying “not_available”. Is it because I haven’t purchased?

I have already tried refreshing/restarting/reinstalling as the support representative recommended via chat.

### 1/5 — Love the app BUT sometimes some of my entries is just gone without any trace

*2025-12-17, version 0.9.13*

I really love the app and i would say one of the best. however, there is this bug where some of my entries just got deleted without any reason.

### 1/5 — Bug report

*2025-11-04*

Once added a transaction , it cannot be deleted.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback. Could you please send a short video demonstrating the issue, along with your account details and a brief description of the problem, to support@bookipi.com, and we will have a look into this for you.

### 1/5 — Migraine Inducer

*2024-05-08, version 0.9.9*

Pros: Looks great on paper
Cons: 
1. Entries disappear and reappear randomly
2. Total keeps jumping to random figures 
3. Useless in tracking expense because the wrong totals shown in wallets will not match actual total causing you nasty headaches wondering where you spent that 39816!! 
4. Design is bad and top controls of App features like the Search, Analysis, Setting and Back buttons disappear behind the Mobile and WiFi Signals and Battery Icon. The back button disappears underneath iOS clock on top left leaving these buttons impossible to use. 
Developers have been informed, sent screenshots for years. Zero response.

### 1/5 — Need a lot of version update and UI isn’t good

*2023-08-18, version 0.9.9*

It have all the features needed.! But it’s not compatible for all the phones.

### 1/5 — Looks good at first then stops doing anything

*2022-03-17, version 0.9.1*

Doesn't update with bank for over a week. No real customer support button that works. Do Not Use!

### 1/5 — what kind of budgeting app won't let you input amounts of money

*2022-02-20, version 0.9.0*

if i go to add a decimal it tells me to input values.  i can't add "6.50" i have to either choose 6.00 or 7.00.  i have the latest update.  let me add cents please.

### 1/5 — Counts my credit card transactions as income

*2022-01-26, version 0.9.0*

Tried categorizing my credit card charges and it changes it all to income instead of an expense. My entire business is ran through a credit card and was hoping to categorize my expenses on the card alone, however it won’t let me change it to expense at the top. Wish I wouldn’t have paid for it off the bat.

### 1/5 — it’s frustrating

*2021-10-19, version 0.8.8*

msg the support team for help two days later nothing not really professional if u ask me.

### 1/5 — Don’t depend on this app to be accurate

*2021-10-04, version 0.8.8*

The balance on my accounts will change by themselves and be way different than what I entered. I have to fully close app and reopen to (sometimes) correct the amount. Just all around bad design

### 1/5 — Aucun partage !

*2021-09-01, version 0.8.5*

C’est quoi cette application on ne peux même pas avoir un compte qui partage , et si on es 2 adultes ?!?!?!

### 5/5 — Great app, but

*2025-06-22, version 0.9.10*

I love the app and I think is super useful 100%. But it would be nice when I put recurring expenses I can see those expenses in the future months. Not just that one we are in.
Beside that 5 stars

### 5/5 — So far so good!

*2025-05-07, version 0.9.10*

Been using for a couple weeks for my small business. Hoping not to get to a point where I’m forced to pay for an upgrade once I enter so many expenses. We shall see!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-10-14, version 0.9.10*

Great app easy to use

### 5/5 — Great app…however

*2024-07-23, version 0.9.9*

Great app for my business expense tracking. However can you please allow us to be able to upload documents of receipts instead of just the ability to take pictures?

### 5/5 — Best app for expense tracking

*2024-07-08, version 0.9.9*

This is the best app of AppStore

### 5/5 — Update for iPhone 15 pls

*2024-05-05, version 0.9.9*

Really love all your apps.Could u pls update at the top right corner. Can’t touch ❎✅

### 5/5 — Can’t add anymore

*2023-08-31, version 0.9.9*

What happened. I can no longer add new expenses. I need to find another expense app. Issue resolved. Thank you

### 5/5 — Need to update layout for iPhone 14 pro

*2023-06-30, version 0.9.8*

I can't click on correct icon or cancel icon.

### 5/5 — One of the best expenses apps

*2023-06-10, version 0.9.8*

The title says it all. One thing I’d like to change is the top notch part. For iPhone 14 and 14 pro, the notch gets in the way of expense/income tabs.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2023-06-05, version 0.9.8*

Easy to use. Functional! Free!
