### 3/5 — Finally, syncing without Big Brother

*2018-12-31*

This is the only budgeting app I could find that doesn’t require a cloud service I don’t control to sync.  I LOVE this.  Never change it.

I also love that there is a one-time unlock fee instead of the subscription model many aps are using these days, and a 1 week free trial of the unlocked version so you can be sure it does what you want before buying.

But, unfortunately, it is missing some features that are key for me:
- There is no way to change the expense categories.
- There is only one total budget; I’d like a budget per expense category.
- There is no concept of an account, therefore no way to record which account you used to pay an expense.
- All the expense categories sync.  It would be nice to select which expense categories and accounts to sync with each other device.

So, it’s a good start, and I’ll be keeping an eye on it, but I can’t use it yet.  I did pay to unlock, though, to encourage the developer to keep working on it.  Honestly, I would happily pay $10 (vs. the $2 I just paid) for an app with local syncing + the features I just listed.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this app

*2018-07-11*

It simply won’t allow you to add a transaction. Emailed the developers 4 days ago and haven’t received a reply or a fix!!!

### 5/5 — Must have app!!

*2018-05-01*

This is the perfect app to keep track of your monthly budget. Simple and easy to use, I love it!
