### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-12-25*

It’s a lifesaver for organizing my spending and I love that I can track everything and sync it across my devices.

**Developer response:** Thank you for kind words. Glad the app suite your needs, hope you gonna love it 🥰

### 5/5 — Simples e intuitivo

*2025-08-04, version 5.8.5*

Para mim, valeu cada centavo investido nesse app. Eu só queria um app simples para colocar das despesas e no final do mês, ver em gráficos os meus gastos. Sem falar que ele sincroniza e você consegue usar ele no Mac também!

### 5/5 — Great but needs two more features!

*2024-11-20, version 5.4.0*

This has been a god send, it’s simple and it has everything you need.

But it would be great if we can please take pictures with our camera instead of attaching a photo from our camera roll. That way we don’t have to switch between apps to do this one thing.

Maybe I also just missed it but how do we manage tags? I would like to edit the tag icons and colors but it doesn’t seem like I can.

Thank you so much for this app!

### 3/5 — Lets see

*2024-10-18, version 5.0.0*

Will see

### 5/5 — The best app ever! 💯

*2024-09-29, version 2.2.4*

I love this app so much! It’s simple and easy to use! It helps me to track my expenses, very helpful! The customer support is very friendly and they respond to my email swiftly. They fix the bug/issues immediately. I am so happy with my overall experience. More powers to the team! 💖

### 5/5 — Great little spend tracker

*2024-06-30*

Lots to like. 
Easy add tags. They swipe over horizontally with the latest used in front. Super convenient. 
Notes, discounts, image and url attachments, multiple colorful app icons to choose from and useful stats. 
And last but not least a super responsive developer. 
Only things I’d like to see on my wish list. 
Duplicate list and archive list options and an Apple Watch app. If it had an Apple Watch app it  be the ultimate wrist shopping app. 
Keep up the great work.

**Developer response:** Hello, we really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you for your kind words 😊

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-05-21, version 2.0.7*

Simple yet effective

### 4/5 — simple but effective

*2023-11-28, version 1.7.2*

oh i love this app! i've been finding an app that has a feature where i can categorize all my expenses and list each item that i purchased. i'm usually the one using my credit card to pay for expenses whenever my friends and i hang out, so this is such a nice app to keep track of how much they owe me, one by one. one thing i noticed though is that sometimes the app crashes randomly, especially whenever i try and click the graph icon. also, i wish there was a way where i can view the total expenses per tag.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2022-06-04, version 1.5.2*

Much easier than that budget apps (complicated) , and much more intuitive than spreadsheets.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2022-05-20*

App froze up several times before I could even enter my information.

**Developer response:** Hello, we resolved the issue for a long time.
We would love to know if you still face the issue. 
We really appreciate your feedback 🙏
