It would be great if there was an option to adjust the background color within the app ### 4/5 — I can’t see the amounts the font is darker than the screen *2024-10-31, version 1.1* I like the app so far, but there needs to be a way to see the amounts. A way to adjust the color of the amounts so that I can see them better. It’s helping me manage cash. ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-10-01, version 1.0* Great app but would be better if the homepage showed the budget to the penny rather than rounding up to the nearest pound. ### 4/5 — Really love it. *2021-11-03, version 1.0* I downloaded every budget out there. This one is the easiest to use. I’m waiting to find out if expenses get subtracted from your budget for that category. If it does, it will be the best app out there. I’ve been with a wonderful app for years. I’ve been paying $50. In January they are doubling it to $100!!!!! I really didn’t do everything the app could do because it just got way to hard to understand. If I can get this app to subtract as I use it, it will be such an easy way to track your expenses. ### 5/5 — Easy peasy *2021-04-01, version 1.0* More options or icons would make this app awesome ### 4/5 — Need to add one more option *2020-12-09* Add an option which deducts the expenses from the income and shows the balance amount automatically. This will help to keep better track of the Balance Amount. **Developer response:** Added net income in v1.2! ### 5/5 — I never write reviews *2020-12-06, version 1.0* I have experience using budgeting apps and the other apps get in the way of the true purpose of budgeting with all the extra shenanigans. This app is the core of budgeting, it’s as simple as using a calculator and it has a dated transaction log. One thing that would icing on the cake would be a notes feature for my categories. By far the best budgeting app ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-10-18, version 1.0* Just what I was looking for. Easy to use and clean look. ### 4/5 — Great overall with one downside *2020-09-10, version 1.0* Love this app for its simplicity, but I couldn’t get the filter feature to work. Whenever I tried to review expenses in a category the relevant transactions never showed up. If this is fixed soon this would be an awesome app. ### 5/5 — Thanks a lot ! *2020-09-05, version 1.0* I was searching for this app from my young days from 21 years old or so finally found at the age of 40 pluse ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dark Mode *2025-03-24, version 1.1* Difficult to see Alpha Numeric when phone is in Dark Mode ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-07-07, version 1.1* Whenever you try to add or change a category, the font disappears. Script needs to be fixed. Must have added “$” on the wrong line. 😆 ### 1/5 — Review *2023-01-22, version 1.0* Too rigid Should at least be able to customize labels! Deleted immediately. ### 1/5 — The filter option does not work . Other wise ok.. *2020-12-25* The filter option does not work . Other wise ok.. **Developer response:** Fixed in v1.2! ### 2/5 — Works good but hard to read *2024-08-06, version 1.1* I’m not sure if its a glitch on my end but its hard to read in some areas. I would attach a screenshot but it wont allow me to. ### 3/5 — Needs a fix for UI *2025-02-20, version 1.1* My system is set to dark mode and the app follows the same. The problem is the text on the 4th menu is all black and very hard to read. Also no way to change the app light or dark preference in app. ### 3/5 — Eigentlich ganz gut … *2024-12-25* leider wird bei dunklem Thema bei der Erfassung der ´Transactionś der Feld-Text in schwarzer Schrift auf schwarzem Hintergrund angezeigt und ist somit nicht zu lesen. Bitte ändern ! **Developer response:** Behoben in v1.2! ### 3/5 — I like it BUT *2024-11-08, version 1.1* Can’t print document without just doing screenshots if I use my iPhone on black display, I can’t read all numbers otherwise I think it’s great ### 3/5 — UI needs fix *2024-09-08, version 1.1* On iPhone in dark mode, the text in the app is almost unreadable, no option in the app to change into light mode. ### 3/5 — Ok app needs a few more features. *2020-02-02, version 1.0* It would be great if you could change the settings so you carry your balances forward every month. I want to see when I accumulate extra cash in diff categories over several months, or the converse... see that I’m overspending and I’m accumulating a lot of debt in one category. I also want to see a trend report. And I also want to be able to split an expense, for example, when I have one receipt that has purchased from multiple categories and don’t want to go through the mental math and extra steps to properly allocate the purchase. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cash Flow *2026-08-16, version 1.2* I see graphics now.
