## What is Change?

Change is the easiest way to know how much money you have available to spend.

Not sure whether you have enough left to buy that pair of jeans? Just open up Change and you'll see your available balance in big bold numbers.

Here's how it works:

1. Start by adding the amount of money you have available to spend.

2. Each time you spend some money, type in the amount you spent and what you spent it on. Change subtracts it from the available balance.

3. There's no step three. You'll always have an up-to-date total of what you have left to spend.

It's super simple. It's always up to date (no 3-day delays like you'd have with apps that connect to your bank account). There are no categories or other features to get in the way.

Got paid? Add more money to your balance at any time.

Want to look back at where the money went? Tap the balance and you'll see your full history from the beginning of time.

## Key features

- Track available spending money
- Manually add income and expenses
- Real-time balance updates
- View full transaction history
- No bank account connection required
- Simple, uncluttered interface

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-06-16, version 1.0(1)*

I truly send this app to everyone. It is the only app I’ve found that lets me track my spending without over complicating things.

### 5/5 — In love with the simplicity

*2023-09-14, version 1.0(1)*

I was looking for a simple expense tracker, nothing heavy loaded with charts and a million categories and blah blah. This one is perfect. You add an expense or spend, that’s it. Love it!

### 3/5 — Ios 16.1.1 breaks the app

*2022-11-26, version 1.0(1)*

Loved it for its simplicity to use, but as per typical apple fashion, the latest ios update broke the app and it is no longer usable, hoping an update comes out to keep the app working

### 5/5 — any more features?

*2022-02-24, version 1.0(1)*

first off, LOVE this app!! it's perfectly reliable for keeping track of finances. the only things that could make it better in my opinion would be a feature to keep track of multiple accounts at once, and to date transactions (like if you have to backdate spends or earnings) so they show on the dates they actually occurred. will that ever happen?? 

even without, i still easily give it five stars!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-12-12, version 1.0(1)*

Simple and to the point.  Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Keeping track

*2021-10-27, version 1.0(1)*

I know how much $ I have for monthly day to day expenses. I needed a simple way to track where that money goes. This app does that. Put in the amount spent, what it was for, and your done. Balance available is displayed and a tap of the screen displays all transactions by date. Other functions are a waste of time.

### 5/5 — Simple and straight to the point

*2021-10-14, version 1.0(1)*

Just what I was looking for! There are way too many complex and complicated budget apps out there. This is all I wanted and needed. I am so grateful that I found this!!! Thank you so much for making this app!

### 4/5 — Needs one thing

*2021-09-27, version 1.0(1)*

Simple and to the point. Frustrating that I can’t edit past transactions though.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2021-09-03, version 1.0(1)*

This is exactly what I was looking for. Other budget apps are complex, which might be good for some, but I needed something easy. One of the reasons I haven’t budgeted well in the past is because it’s complicated. With this app, I can simply visualize exactly how much I have left to spend, in the moment of spending. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Keep It Simple Stupid

*2020-12-31, version 1.0(1)*

This is exactly what I need! Thanks :)
