Eh. I feel like the desktop version is very intuitive, and the app just falls short. Very short. Don't get me wrong. It displays basic information. But the lack of functionality is astounding. ### 1/5 — Slowest app I have ever used *2014-11-13, version 01.01.00* This is probably the most poorly designed app I have ever used. The purpose of having an app is so that you can quickly access this and have an easier experience than the desktop version of the sight. For me, it is faster to log in every time I want to get into the app and navigate through the desktop version of the website in my phone. That is how bad this app is. First off, the interface is absolutely hideous. All it is is a white background with green ovals. When I try to scroll down, one of the green ovals will be selected and then I will have to press the home button in the top left corner to get it to go back to the main screen. That is the other problem- there is no swipe function to swipe back like most all apps have in ios8 and even 7 for that matter. Anyway, I would be semi-okay with it if the button actually worked. Every button needs to be pressed twice on most occasions- once to be selected and the other to actually get to the next screen. Also there is no way to tell I was indeed successful or not in selecting the button besides to wait for a solid 10 seconds and see if anything happens. One time I didn't think it registered so I ended up paying a bill three times and didn't realize it until it was deducted from my bank account. Bottom line: it looks and feels like a fifth grader designed this app. ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2014-10-15* Wouldn't let me pay any bills without crashing 30 times first. ### 1/5 — Needs a calendar *2014-10-10, version 01.01.00* This is an okay app, however, I would recommend putting a calendar in the app that keeps track of when all of you bills are due and how much have you paid. Otherwise, sometimes you lose track of the email that the budget challenge sends. This would be helpful with keeping and staying organized. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Budget Challenge No Longer Works *2026-01-23, version 3.6.1* I would love to use this app for my college class! Too bad it no longer works in the Big ‘26 ### 1/5 — god this is bad *2024-04-10, version 3.2.32* this app is absolutely trash, along with the website and the entire challenge as a whole ### 1/5 — horror *2024-02-27, version 3.2.32* so scary ### 1/5 — Wow *2022-09-23, version 3.2.16* This app is absolutely stunning the quality of the graphics, the unreal voice acting, and the absolute masterpiece of a story all set this app apart from the rest. I have never had a game impact me as much as this one has and I just hope that’s the way it is for everybody else. ### 1/5 — This app needs major update *2022-05-09, version 3.2.16* So what I see that will majorly improve this app is if you could improve the graphics make the tutorial more simpler and at least add two emotes ### 1/5 — BUDGET CHALLENGE ATTACK *2022-03-03, version 3.2.16* DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP! This app jumped out of my phone at 3am and slapped me so hard i’m typing this on Jupiter. ### 1/5 — Makes my brain hurt *2020-10-23, version 2.3.2* The app makes you pay bills but doesnt tell you how much and you have to guess the amount. The rest of the app is poorly designed, boring, and extremely confusing to navigate. My teacher made me use this and now my grade is suffering because it almost seems deliberately confusing. It is like the destiny 2 tech support website but half loaded in and upside down. That is how confusing it is. ### 1/5 — Outline *2020-02-10, version 2.3.2* The setup and color of the app is very boring and plain. Work more on the presentation. ### 1/5 — Slow *2019-09-27, version 2.3.2* Slow outdated Ui needs to be updated. And it should have a automatic login thing instead of putting in your username password every time you log in. And the font size needs to be updated as well... ### 1/5 — Literally just a white screen. *2015-02-23, version 01.01.00* I've rebooted and deleted and redownloaded several times. It's literally a white screen with the status bar up top. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Daddy *2023-01-30, version 3.2.16* I am daddy ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-02-27, version 2.3.2* Best game I have played. A story that would put halo reach to shame, and a beautiful masterpiece of character development and game design. The only thing I regret about playing this game is that I won’t get to experience it for the first time ever again. My dreams are all about Budget Challenge 2: Electric Boogaloo. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2020-02-03, version 2.3.2* This game was so technologically advanced that I didn’t know how to navigate it but that doesn’t matter ### 5/5 — Wow *2015-02-26, version 01.01.00* Not as good as the cite but still a life saver during vacation. I can finally pay my bill whenever and wherever I want. ### 5/5 — Thanks Beth *2015-01-21, version 01.01.00* My teacher, THE BETH MANZ has given me the opportunity to play the H&R Budget Challenge... I thank her, even though I haven't tried the app yet I love it. Thanks Beth! ### 5/5 — Holy cow! *2015-01-21, version 01.01.00* Best app ever created! OMG ### 5/5 — Very realistic program *2014-03-25, version 01.00.00* Budget challenge is the only program that gives me paychecks and bills to pay. It feels very real and the app takes it to the next level. I like learning how to manage money the way I will do it in real life. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-03-24, version 01.00.00* Great app! I can pay bills on the go and checking class rank is super easy now. ### 3/5 — I hate this app *2025-03-13, version 3.5.3* This app is terrribleee!!!! I don’t like how it’s run it’s like a grandma trying to eat me out from the inside while I’m busting ### 2/5 — It's okay *2015-02-01* I wish the app were more explanatory and was easier to navigate, especially when paying bills. I also wish the main screen was better put, other than that the app is decent but could use work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
