### 5/5 — Works like a charm!

*2019-10-25*

The YNAB app is ok, but doesn't have a nice quick glance option. This is perfect for that. Works exactly as advertised.

### 5/5 — Just great.

*2019-10-25*

Slick, useful, and fills a need for sure! YNAB pay attention.

### 1/5 — Error: could not handle the request

*2021-11-12*

This is the message I get every time I try to connect to YNAB.. so it doesn’t work

**Developer response:** Hi there, this issue has been fixed. If you're still interested in using it, make sure to update to the latest version. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2021-10-13*

Nothing else to add

**Developer response:** Hi there, this issue has been fixed. If you're still interested in using it, make sure to update to the latest version. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Useless until bugs are fixed

*2019-10-27*

This looks like it could be a useful app but none categories are loading so I just see a series of completely blank screens

**Developer response:** I’ve fixed the bug that was causing the categories to not load. Thank you for reporting that!

### 4/5 — If I could just change ONE thing...

*2020-05-17*

I really wish that instead of pacing by day, I could change the settings of some categories to pace by week, or even biweekly. I don’t regularly make purchases each day, so it seems awkward to have everything paced that way. For some categories, like groceries, it’d be much nicer to know how much I should spend each week instead of each day. But if I bought lunch everyday, it’d still be great to see how much I can spend on lunch each day. So I’d just love an option to customize that a bit, and I’d change this review to a 5 star rating if we could get that feature. But besides that, I think it’s a great app that helps a lot in visualizing how much I can spend throughout the month, so I’m giving it 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Useful but buggy

*2020-03-11*

Very simple and convenient companion to YNAB. I would just wish the performance was better (sometimes the app freezes)

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2019-12-28*

Does what it says, widget very useful to quickly find out how much there is left to spend. I do think, however, that on the graphs it would make more sense to have green be unspent money instead instead of spent money. So if I haven’t spent anything in my movies category, it will be all green instead of grey, and when I start spending, my amount of green (ie available cash) goes down.  
Overall great!

### 5/5 — Quick way to see my YNAB budget

*2020-11-26*

With the new widget, it’s such an easy way to see my YNAB categories. I love that it has a visual bar/circle representation of how much money I have left for the month (which YNAB doesn’t)!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2020-09-06*

Love this accompanying app for YNAB. My wife and I like to track our food spending and it’s hard to know how we are tracking during the month. This app helps us visualize our spending to see if we are on pace to stay within our budget.

A couple feature requests:

1) Adding a small vertical indicator on the horizontal bar to indicate if we are ahead or behind for the current day (mint has this indication on budget categories which I find very useful)

2) An Apple Watch complication would be great :)

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2020-09-04*

I would like flexibility with the reports.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-06-05*

It’s amazing

### 5/5 — The features you wish YNAB had

*2020-01-16*

YNAB should pay you a ton of cash to acquire this app, it’s that good. Finally a few features I wish YNAB had are implemented by a third party developer. . 

Keep up the great work 👌🏻

### 5/5 — Great so far!

*2019-11-15*

I love the widget, so simple and effective! Would love to see an Apple Watch complication, will stay tuned and leave a tip👌

### 5/5 — Actual details!

*2019-11-05*

Whoa, actual details on how we spend $ per category! Very nice. We’ve need this for a long long time. 

Few of suggestions: 1) Allow to pick previous months 2) the dollar amount per day is a bit confusing on what the math is behind that, and 3) the amount spent last month appears be inaccurate, at least for me

Otherwise, seeing when and where money is being spent throughout the month is super helpful! Seeing previous months in those individual categories would be so awesome. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Helpful and clean

*2019-10-30*

Don’t know how safe the app is to share my details but it’s a beautiful app with a clean interface and displays the information on a very easy and understandable way. Really liking it so 5 stars from me!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for

*2019-10-29*

The interface and analytics thru this app break down data very clearly. 

@YNAB can you incorporate something like this into the primary app? You should buy this app.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-10-27*

This app is really useful for YNAB users. Been waiting for something like this for awhile.
