Must everything be a subscription lol? **Developer response:** Totally hear you. Good news, we've actually brought back a lifetime option for Pro (just not Pro Sync, which needs an ongoing subscription to cover bank connection costs). Check it out in the app. ### 1/5 — Updated and deleted all data *2025-03-02* Updated and deleted all data. Another fantastic effort by the world's smartest developers. ### 1/5 — Pass *2024-07-06* This was great up until they updated and erased everything. Several months of tracking gone. Out of all of the budgeting apps I’ve used, I’ve never had this happen. 👎 **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with your data. I would like to help you recover it! Email me at "hello [at] thebudgeting.app" and let's see what we can do :) ### 2/5 — I don’t get this app *2025-10-19* Where my transactions supposed to be coming from? It also feels weird like a Nokia app slow and unnatural ### 4/5 — Amazing, Needs widgets *2026-02-08* Amazing app all around… you can do so much with it, and even more with the pro version! I just wish it supported widgets on Iphone! it would be cool to view my spending directly from my homescreen instead of having to open the app. Just a suggestion though! thanks for providing a great app. ### 4/5 — Good. Not great. *2026-01-26* I like the simplicity and the challenges. I don’t like that it won’t roll over what you have left from a previous period. ### 4/5 — Fortnightly Budgeting 😍 *2025-07-22* This is the first app that I have found that actually does fortnightly budgeting. Have been really trying to find an app that I can plan my paychecks out rather than it being by the month as I find it to be easier/ more effective for me. This app actually lets me do that with a calendar view as well. This app was definitely hard to find, but glad I did. Some things that would make this even better would be having a widget with the calendar view that’s in app and being able to scroll through future pay periods just a little little bit more efficiently. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2024-08-12* I’ve been looking for a budget app for a good while, and this has everything I wanted! I have one issue though, when i try to set an end date for a recurring transaction, for example I have a payment plan thats ending in December, the app won’t let me change the ending date. Like, the “done” button isn't clickable. It just stays on whatever the current date is. I’ve tried changing it multiple times but no go. If that bit could be fix, this would easily be a 5 star app. ### 4/5 — Everything perfect, but… *2024-07-31* I really enjoy using this app because it‘s well made and has a nice design and easy to use. The only feature I‘m missing right now is being able to add future expenses because I want to plan ahead and that‘s not possible yet. Say, it‘s July, but I already know that I‘ll be spending x€ on August 5th or something. I hope this can be implemented soon! **Developer response:** Hi yxnaseo, thank you for the review! If you haven't checked it out yet, our latest versions should now allow you to enter future transactions. :) ### 5/5 — Not a bot, this app is amazing. *2026-04-23* I have tried a million horrible budgeting apps that’s either A) don’t do what I need (like keeping track of payments, being easy to use AND keeping track of paying off loans) OR B) they cost a ridiculous amount of money. This app is amazing. Even if you do buy the pro version (which I did after happily using the free version for a bit) it’s not going to break your wallet. (Which is really the point of a BUDGETING APP) Anywho, get this app. It’s the best if you like thing to be smooth and well maintained. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-31* In Canada. Love it so far and I love the interface, how it looks. Very user friendly. Makes budgeting fun ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-09-14* Minimalistic UI, worthwhile features without having to pay first, easy to navigate, and not overwhelming. I upgraded, but the free version gives you a lot too! The layout is nice and simple and just my vibe without additional clutter. Easy to use 👌 ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-09* Takes some time to set up, but once done very easy to use! ### 5/5 — Thank you - the best budget app *2025-08-24* I’ve tried a number of budgeting apps and this is the one that is the Goldilocks solution for me. Let’s hope it remains free! ### 5/5 — Pls enable permanent Frequency *2025-02-26* The App is great, but there are some Budgets that are not recurring, pls add permanently as option. Just subscribed for a year & I really need this. ### 5/5 — The best budget app! *2024-09-02* I’ve tried so many and this is the most simple aesthetic one I’ve found! ### 5/5 — Very intuitive to use, helpful app, and great customer service *2024-07-07* We’ve been loving using this app as we’ve been travelling through Europe. Extremely useful and a breeze to use. It’s very easy to understand, and I like that we can create custom categories for expenses. We accidentally deleted all our data during an update (hot tip: create an account so your data can be backed up), but the customer service was AMAZING and he was able to recover all the months of work we’d done tracking our expenses! Highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Best but slow *2024-04-10* Pls fix the speed issue. ### 5/5 — Simple and effective *2024-03-03* I am using the stop to track spending. It is easy to enter an amount, a category, and if necessary a note. Then it’s easy to see what’s been going on. What now could I want? Good app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
