I hope this can get taken into consideration. Other than, the app is very intuitive and easy to use! ### 4/5 — Bank connection, please *2026-08-16, version 1.5.42* 2026 ### 5/5 — 超级好用又方便 *2026-08-12, version 1.5.42* 这个真的很好用，方便不的了，我好喜欢用 ### 2/5 — Sync to Bank?? False Advertising *2026-08-11* Where is the option to sync to my cards and bank accounts? I’m supposed to manually log every transaction from all cards and sources? I don’t get it. Please let me know where to find and I’ll delete review. If not there that’s terrible. **Developer response:** Hi,in account page,please tape the + button,and you will see the function,do you mean this? ### 5/5 — best budgeting app ever *2026-08-08* wonderful ### 5/5 — Loving it *2026-08-07, version 1.5.42* I especially like the ease that I can add items to the dashboard. In the past, I would get all tangled up in detail details. This just keeps me easy and honest. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-06, version 1.5.42* Interface is easy to use, the free version is actually worth it, the premium is affordable and the aid program is great for those of us who can’t spare a few extra dollars! ### 5/5 — The app is perfect *2026-08-05, version 1.5.42* It really helped me manage my expenses with a very great UI as well ### 5/5 — super easy-to-use budgeting app *2026-08-05, version 1.5.42* i’ve been downloading multiple apps to find one that’s simple and easy to use while having all the featuresthat i needed - this was the perfrct option ### 5/5 — 简单明了 *2026-08-05* 简单明了 ### 5/5 — Great Budget App! *2026-08-04, version 1.5.42* Really liking this app, it’s both aesthetic and super useful with a ton of features. I would definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Any way to upgrade to family lifetime? *2026-07-31, version 1.5.42* It was not clear that to use shared ledger, the other user has to have the license (even within the same family). is there a way to upgrade to family license after purchasing single license? ### 5/5 — Really easy to record and useful data in one glance! *2026-07-31, version 1.5.42* Love the functionality of the apps! ### 5/5 — Widget really helps *2026-07-31, version 1.5.42* I find the widget helps me keep up with the entering expenses because it’s faster. I wish this was available to androids too because I recommend it to people but if they have android they can’t use it… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant Sync bank Account *2026-08-26, version 1.5.43* It doesnt even come with the option to sync your account. You have to enter everything manually. Might as well buy a note book and track your purchases that way instead of using this app ### 1/5 — Asking for a rating before I’ve even used the app *2026-08-16, version 1.5.42* So you get one star. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-08-12, version 1.5.42* They say free, but it is not. ### 1/5 — Not New User Friendly *2026-08-11, version 1.5.42* I had the hardest time figuring it out. I paid for the lifetime membership, but as I could not get a budget or transactions to save, I uninstalled it. I will find a more user friendly budgeting app. ### 1/5 — POS *2026-08-07, version 1.5.42* Tried it thought I had it working tried to reset things and make it exactly right now it won’t do anything so it’s just a POS I find it to be wasting my time and energy works one time and then it doesn’t so F—-it i’ll find another one and a better one. Monarch sounds good. ### 1/5 — Shared ledger is too buggy *2026-08-06, version 1.5.42* I paid two copies of the full version so two people can collaborate on a shared ledger, but it quickly went off sync after 5 minutes and we no longer see each other’s edits and see different versions of the ledger. ### 1/5 — Paid for app but do not have access *2026-07-19, version 1.5.41* I paid for the year for this app and don’t have access to it? I’ve tried emailing twice now for support because I can’t get a refund either and that’s not right. Hoping a review might get faster traction. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-08, version 1.5.40* There’s no way to sync your bank this is dumb ### 1/5 — Calendar is really hard to understand *2026-07-03* Hard to navigate, unintuitive to say the least **Developer response:** Sorry for this, we will keep improving on the app ### 1/5 — Not a fan *2026-06-12, version 1.5.40* Not many banks available to sync. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — User friendly *2026-08-29* App is straightforward and very easy to use but i hope they will add the logo of the banks in the future update to be more organize ### 5/5 — Easily The Best Expense Tracker *2026-08-28, version 1.5.43* My wife and I found we were overspending every month, but we had no idea why. I decided to search for a budget/expense tracking app. I didn't want to link any of my bank accounts. I just wanted to manually put in my paychecks, bills, and other expenses. I wanted to share a single expense tracking with my wife. This app does all of that and more. You can customize the colors, the order of everything, and which parts of your expenses you want to track. It has a calendar that shows you what days you spent what and when. Sharing with my wife is seamless. They offer a lifetime family plan that is a one-time purchase. Everything is reasonably priced. I plan to use this app for many, many years to come. Well done! My only recommendation is for people I share it with to be able to see what the tag is I used for spending. Right now, when I input an expense and list it as say "games" all she sees on her end is the price and my username under the calendar. This forces us to make nine different categories so that she can see under what category the expense was. We would rather simply put in the price, tag it as games, and she can see it under her calendar instead of my name. It allows for more customization for people who might not want a bunch of categories. Again, tho, well done. Great app! ### 5/5 — the PERFECT budgeting app. it has every single feature imaginable. $9 LIFETIME subscription. *2026-08-25, version 1.5.43* i’ve never written a review in my life for an app but this one ASTOUNDED ME. i am very analytic and i wanted something to split my finances since i unexpectedly started making a LOT of money. i wanted something aesthetic and this app IS and it has every single feature possible. i have never been so obsessed with an app in my life. it is so perfect, there are no words to even describe it. GET IT!!! ITS AMAZING and better then anything else i tried. you can track any spending and make goals for any saving. it shows how close you are to your goals. it helps divide money into spending/budegting categories each month. i don’t know how much to describe how much i love this app. ### 5/5 — Budget review *2026-08-25, version 1.5.42* Makes it really easy to add and keep track of your expenses and budget all around and add on a calendar as needed for anything. 5 STARS!! ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-22, version 1.5.42* It’s simple and easy ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2026-08-22, version 1.5.42* Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I first of all REALLY like that this is a one time purchase and not a subscription model. Using the app feels pretty intuitive, it’s very customizable. My favorite feature so far is that it lets me assign traits to purchases like entering an expenditure & adding a tag that identifies it as a monthly subscription. Using that feature helped me get a better overall picture of where my spending goes, which is high value for someone like me who historically is terrible with budgeting. ### 5/5 — very much yes *2026-08-22* love this app, have been using it for years and recommending it to all my friends. i love how you can make a category for every single little thing, change the colour, pick an icon, control exactly where on your screen it goes— it is so extremely customizable and provides absolutely everything you could need and more. budgeting every dollar i spend throughout the day could not be any easier. thank you so much to the creators of this app. ### 5/5 — So simple and easy to use *2026-08-21, version 1.5.42* Love it ### 5/5 — Amo *2026-08-16* Não fico sem!!! ### 5/5 — 好用 *2026-08-12, version 1.5.42* 买了会员，挺好的 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
