### 5/5 — More helpful than I expected

*2026-06-29*

I’m terrible at saving. It’s always been an issue with me and I’ve tried many different strategies and all have failed. I completely lack discipline. Then I came across this app and thought I’ve give it a try, already knowing I would be probably wasting my time. Thankfully I can say, I’m not. Budgetgoal is much better than I expected. I love the fact that it breaks down my goals into daily savings, not only making saving for my dream sim rig possible but highly attainable. The apps UI is gorgeous and gives you a very good overview of the progress you’re making. This app has made it onto my lifelong, always on my device list. It should also be on yours!

**Developer response:** Hi Navin, thank you so much for this amazing review. I’m really glad BudgetGoal has helped make saving feel more achievable for you. Breaking big goals down into daily savings is exactly what I built it for, so it means a lot to hear that it’s helping with your dream sim rig. 

Thanks again for taking the time to share this - I really appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-06-04, version 3.9.1*

I’ve been using this app over the last 2 months. I found it helpful how it lets me know how much I have per day to spend. Additionally, manually adding my spend made me cautious about where I am spending my money, which only made me save more. The UI needs a bit more touch but the developer is active and has made massive improvements from feedback.

### 5/5 — Make better spending decisions

*2026-05-25, version 3.8.3*

This app helped me decide when to spend and when to hold back. Prioritising my investments goals
