### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-09-04, version 5.8*

Great app A+++

### 5/5 — Un outil complet

*2026-08-29*

J’ai testé une dizaine d’applications dédiées à la gestion financière et budgétaire. Cashew repond à toutes mes attentes. Étonnant par sa gratuité pour tous les services qu’elle propose sans brider les fonctionnalités, et surtout la sécurité des données en local. La facilité de prise en main avec une assistance visuelle par chapitre en fait un outil convivial, mieux que de nombreux produits commerciaux. Le seul hic c’est la limitation de la sauvegarde Cloud  à  Googledrive pourquoi ne pas offrir le choix ?

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-13, version 5.8*

Пришел сюда после многих лет использования других приложений. Нашел здесь именно то, чего не хватало у других – человечность!

### 5/5 — One of the best apps for budget tracking.

*2026-08-13*

The free version of this app is amazing. Runs very smooth and is very simple to use as well. I used to use the app previously on a Samsung S21 and it was not that great because there was stutters and everything. Going ahead I might actually pay for the premium version because it’s 100 percent worth it.

### 5/5 — Amazing!
