Budgeting

Buybye is so much fun! Not only does it let me budget my money and become financially literate it also allows me to have fun with Penny the pig and see if my purchases are worth it!

Misleading

Incredibly misleading doesn’t factor in tax at all when calculating time spent to earn that money. Also doesn’t seem to actually understand tax makes a lot of assumptions which makes this useless unfortunately

I really needed this

I may be a grown Woman but my money decisions have not always been very wise. This is helping 🥰

Seemingly good budgeting function but super buggy

^

Update request: Option to close window when deciding if worth it

I really like the app. But sometimes I just wanna see how much something could grow to if I don’t buy. Just curiosity, like should I budget today’s meal at this price or cheaper and what it could grow towards in the future. But there’s only options to buy or not buy, counting towards money spent or money saved.
I would like an option to click out of the window, like a small x button on top right.
(Same for after choosing unsure option. But more so for the initial decision)
Thanks for the app though.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! You can actually close the Worth It Analyzer without choosing Buy or Don’t Buy. Just tap anywhere outside the white box and it’ll close. We agree that’s not super obvious though, so we really appreciate the suggestion!

Don’t know how I like it

I’m a kid and it won’t let me subtract from the random price
And don’t like that

Not worth it

You have to buy the subscription to be able to add any income and expenses so the app is pointless without the subscription

I recommend but as a kid not so much

This is a rlly good app and I like saving but there is no option for like making 0 money cuz I’m a kid and think they should make some changes and some way to help make money or something like giving tasks or giving people the option to put tasks on the app so other can make money. But I am just a kid and I know getting one 1 star needs 12 five stars to make it up so I will give you the review everyone wants. Hope this helps! (Sorry if I didn’t make the help this app has given me more specific)

Love it!!!🥰❤️🥰

I really like this app! It helps me to track my spending but also puts into perspective my spending and what I’m spending on! It/ really been helping me reach my goals!

On top of my finances

I’ve put off budgeting for so long but actually tracking everything coming in and out has really made all the difference. The extra of seeing the price of things in time and what they could be if invested instead also keeps me from buying stupid stuff

No thanks

immediately asking for a review just to stick us behind a pay wall. Not worth it.

Help me it helped me save

Saving

DON’T GET THIS APP!!

This app want you to pay for a yearly subscription to save your money.. WASTE OF TIME

Décevant

Devoir payer absolument pour économiser ça semble contre productif selon moi…

Response from developer

Thanks for the note! You can now use the Worth It analyzer, to see how much time items cost, for free without a subscription 🙂

良いアプリ

このアプリを使って得られる金銭感覚はお金には代え難いくらい大切だと思う。この出費は大体何時間分の労働に値するのか?という感覚・思考の癖をつけられるのは嬉しい。
長く使いたいから、買い切りプランを提供してほしいな!

Paying

Because you have to pay?!

Save $30 a year by NOT subscribing

I saved an hour of work every year by not subscribing to buybye, a glorified fancy calculator.

Ridiculous

The irony having to pay for an app that is supposed to help you “track” and “save” a few bucks..

Don’t even bother downloading this app

money

jai pas dargent pour payer mon abonnement mais cest okay

An app to save money. That costs money.

This is £30 billed annually, for a calculator that you can have ready to go in your iOS notes app. You only get a two day trial, and the developer only offers their free website as an alternative, which isn’t the same. Save your money, spend 2 minutes writing a list and use your iOS’ notes app to do these calculations yourself.
