If you want to really know where your money is going then you need an easy way to track your expenditure and BackInBlack does that superbly. If you want to you can setup categories and budget limits etc and easily export your info via a CSV file to your favourite spreadsheet. Once you start using it the process becomes second nature.

Best budgeting app but could be improved

I’ve tried several budgeting app and this leaps and bounds better than the rest.

A good update by the developers with a few modifications could make it even better.

Overall, highly recommended this app.

Keeping it simple

I and my mom use this for keeping track of expenses and it is handy!

Use This Daily

I have been using this app since January 2013. Helped me to get financial control of my finances. I have just updated it to the latest version and I can no longer add or edit any fixed expense could you please check this out and fix it. Great app

Please add option for an End Date in Fixed Expenses

I have been using this app for years and love the customization in expense tracking! I just wish there was the ability to put in a time frame for my fixed expenses. Please add!

Great App when it doesn’t crash

I like be this app. Very intuitive. Only issue is that it constantly crashes when I try to edit purchases and change dates. Please fix this. 5 stars if the app doesn’t crash

Use it daily - great help!

I have managed to get myself into a good habit of using this daily. I really like being able track expenses, see my monthly expenses and how I’ve broken everything else down into categories.

The only thing I’d like (for 5*) is the ability to see YTD totals and the total spent in each category for a year. Be nice to just see the total spent in each area over a year.

Love it but...

Something is happening where it is now saying I have a months warning even though I have it set as semi-monthly. This is giving me a false idea of how much money is remaining for the next two weeks. This problem is just new. I’m not sure why it is happening.

Perfect Budgeting App

This is definitely my favourite and most useful app I own.
I have used this for at least three years now and documented every cent I spend and earn. Honestly, it is the best way to keep track of and monitor money.
The graphs and spending limit features are so helpful and I can honestly say this has put a lot of order into my life.
Could not speak more highly of this app if you paid me to write it!
I've tried a few budgeting apps and this one definitely takes the cake.
It had a few teething problems when I first started using it but they have obviously been sorted because it runs so smoothly now.

Love It!

I have been using this app for years-it is fantastic. It has really helped me financially -easy to use. Simple- 1. Net monthly money coming in 2. Fixed monthly expenses 3. Monthly savings (I save $300 a month to pay for house insurance, car insurance & property taxes) 4. Spendings during the month - House, Groceries, Gas, ... whatever you want to set up for yourself.

Why does this app function like it’s from iOS 6?

Have the developers stopped working on this app?

If so its a shame as it was positioned to being the best personal finance app in the store. What gives?

No stars for no help

I was interested in this app from a mention it for in an article I read but upon downloading it, I was unable to input any monetary data. It erases it right away. I went to the App Support page which is just a message board--no email address or anything-- and I posted about my issue. I have received no help so this app is rendered useless unfortunately for me. Wish I could use it as it was intended!

5 stars are not enough.

I can't believe this is a free app. Very intuitive and beautiful. It keeps things simple which is why it works so well. Budgeting isn't rocket science but it needs done. Back in Black has made spend tracking much less of a chore for me. Thanks!

Widget not working

Have had the app for years and I love the idea of having a widget to make adding purchases easier. Just downloaded the update today and noticed purchases don't register when it's added through the widget though.

Great app!

I've had this app for years and it works great! It has really helped me to track my spending and set financial goals for myself.

I've had his app for 1.5 years. It's ok

I use this app while living financially under the principals of Dave Ramsey. It's pretty good for the purpose but doesn't roll over the unused money in the categories, you have to do it manually. Also it's never updated.

Lastly it's stopped syncing both my wife and I use it for that purpose if this issue isn't corrected we will move to another app.

Great app but every month the same thing...

Love this app. It has really assisted out family in keeping an eye on our finances. Only complaint is every month it doesn't carry over your budget and you have to crash it like 20 times to get it to carry over. You guys need to fix this. It's so frustrating

Great app!

I love this app. I've been using it daily since 2012. Super customizable, simple and easy to use. Best budgeting app out there.

First of the Month

The app crashes on the first of every month.

Also my wife and I can no longer sync our iPhones. We both get errors. The app is basically useless for collecting and tracking our shared purchases, which is of course the whole point if the app.

I have iPhone 6, she has iPhone 5. Both of us are running the newest version and our iOS is updated to the latest.
