### 5/5 — Great Expense Tracker ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-08-14*

Very convenient app for tracking expenses. Everything is simple and easy to understand, with no unnecessary features. I especially like that you don’t need to connect a bank account and all your data stays on your device. It’s really helpful to see how much you’ve spent and how much you can still spend until the end of the month. Highly recommend! 👍

### 5/5 — The best money tracker

*2026-07-30*

I’ve tried a lot of budgeting apps, and this is by far my favorite. It’s fast, easy to use, and I love that it automatically categorizes my expenses. The best part is that it doesn’t require access to my bank accounts or collect my financial data. If you’re looking for a simple, private, and reliable money tracker, I definitely recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-07-21*

Super easy to use! I finally realized where most of my money was going, and it was something I never even noticed before. Really helpful for keeping track of my spending.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-08

New: Reports. Pick a week, a month, a year or your own date range and see
where your money went — income, expenses, what changed since the previous
period, your biggest categories and your largest purchases. Open Reports
from Analytics or from Settings.

Share a monthly report as a PDF with the analysis on the first page, or
as an Excel file. With Premium: reports for any period, and a weekly or
monthly reminder when the period closes — tap it to open the report.
Reports are built on your iPhone when you open them, and nothing leaves
your phone.

Also fixed: music and podcasts resume after you dictate an entry.

Also in this release:
- Analytics no longer stops working on a ledger with an amount it cannot
  add up — it tells you instead.
- Excel export: a split purchase is now one row per part, so totals by
  category in your spreadsheet match the app. Two columns were added at
  the end (Split, Transaction ID); the first eight are unchanged.
- Excel export dates are always plain year-month-day.
- Wording and translation fixes across all five languages.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-12

Fixed: the app wouldn't open after updating from a very early version.

If you updated from one of the first releases and got stuck on a screen saying your data
was safe — while the app never went any further — this update gets you in, with everything
you entered still there. Nothing was lost while you were waiting.

That screen is also more honest now: if an update ever can't finish, it warns you not to
delete the app (which would erase the data on your device) and can still export a copy.

Also fixed: PDF reports printed some amounts incorrectly — part of a number could be
missing, and the currency symbol could disappear. Every amount now prints in full.

Also in this release:
- Imports that stop partway now tell you how many transactions were saved, instead of just
  saying the import failed. Re-importing is safe.
- Repeating transactions set for the end of the month stay at the end of the month.
- Deleting a large number of transactions is dramatically faster.
- A new Settings entry shows how to set up the Widget and Siri shortcuts.
- The Categories screen now mentions that you can set a monthly limit on any expense category.
- A very large amount could stop the app showing this month's totals. It now says so, and
  points you to the entry, instead of leaving you without a screen.
- Importing a file now refuses an amount it can't store, telling you which line, instead of
  saving something different from what the file said.
- Wording and translation fixes across all five languages.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-13

Splitting a purchase is now something you can find.

- Split across categories from the transaction itself. Open any expense and the option is right there — one purchase, several categories, without hunting through the editor.
- Changing the app's language now updates every screen immediately. Some text used to keep the language the app started in until you relaunched.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-29

• Split a purchase across categories — one receipt, many buckets
• Set gentle monthly limits per category — a heads-up, never a scolding
• A daily allowance and spending pace, right on your dashboard
• "Tell me what's missing" — send feedback from inside the app
• Smoother and steadier: fixes for splits, charts and edits

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-19

A calmer, more helpful Budget Crab.

• A daily tip from your crab — one new idea to unlock each day
• Learn hub: plain, jargon-free explanations of the money terms that matter
• A clearer view of what's Free and what's Premium — and a promise your data always stays yours
• A gentle heads-up before a category runs low (Premium)
• Import a bank or Mint CSV and review duplicates in a tap
• Smoother and faster, even with years of history

Thanks for budgeting with us.
