I was able to set my budgets and this app allowed for a rollover feature. I did end up purchasing the full app to get unlimited budget categories, but I thought it was a small price compared to the $70 apps that have more frills than I was looking for. The only glitch I have found is that sometimes recurring costs get lost and won’t actually be deducted from their associated budget, so I would have to go and put them in manually. Otherwise, it works great! The current version has a glitch. It doesn’t automatically populate it with today’s date. It’s still stuck in January. ### 4/5 — A simple spending tracker with rollover *2024-12-20* I was looking for an app that simply tracked my spending.

I would have loved to be able to export to excel or pdf to make it a perfect Five stars. ### 5/5 — Very Good App *2022-01-19* Entering all data wasn’t intuitive at first, but after going through trial and error it’s actually very easy. Once one gets the hang of it, it’s excellent. ### 4/5 — Awesome for Community Group Budgeting *2021-06-29* Easy to setup categories, annual budget amounts, expected fundraising, and then reconcile against bank accounts. The reporting tool exports in different formats. Able to sync across devices. Great tool that’s easy to use for a small group treasurer, with the tools of a CFO. Wish I could do zero dollar budget groups just to track unexpected expenses. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-04-09* Works great. All the features I use, plus it keeps all historical data. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — At last, a budget app with rollover feature *2021-01-31* Cheap, effective and with essential budget rollover feature. It has taken me ages to find an app that wasn’t all singing and dancing, think Emma, Cleo, but simply did what I wanted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was my favourite app ever *2026-02-13, version 7.0.1* Unfortunately, half the time it opens an ad I can’t close now, and I have to reboot my phone. ### 1/5 — Data harvesting *2025-07-02* The app asks for permission to track you, then notifications then for cookies of which there isn’t a deny all button and the list is endless Thet you have to change to deny. Couldn’t be bothered going through the list so just uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Broken after iOS 15…. *2021-10-24* Wouldn’t bother anymore, they’ve added lots of ads and also broken in iOS 15… ### 1/5 — Poor judgement from developer *2021-10-02* I now have to pay for functionality that used to be free. Ads were added to make it slow to use. Such a dark pattern. I happily would have paid a one off fee for the app but it should not be a subscription service. ### 1/5 — I hate having to enter my transactions *2020-06-17* Its 2020 isn’t there an app for that? ### 1/5 — Hard to use and full of ads *2020-01-02* I don’t recommend it. There are better free alternatives in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Need help *2019-02-05, version 3.3.4* One of the expense items show up as “earned” instead of spent - where do I get help? ### 1/5 — Pop up ads all the time *2019-01-01* Totally annoying pop up ads. Have no idea if it works or not when I’m interrupted every few minutes! ### 1/5 — No UK pound setting in currency, *2018-11-25* Surprised to find that the app can’t be setup for the UK pound, just about any other currency, some I’ve never heard of. Massive oversight. ### 1/5 — This app is complete garbage *2018-10-24, version 3.3.4* Please, do not waste your time. This app make no sense. Complete garbage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No worries *2026-07-21* Love this app it helps me planning each month ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2026-05-26, version 8.0.1* I love keeping track of my money and this works well. ### 5/5 — Th only budget app I need *2026-03-23* Very user-friendly.
