### 4/5 — まぁ良いです

*2022-10-06, version 5.5.4*

月初に使える金額を登録して日数で割り、日々使える金額が算出されます。あまりが出ると翌日に加算されるのでお金を使わなければ　増えていくのが分かるのでやる気を誘います。便利なのは、例えば2週間分の米や洗剤などは日数割できるので　まとめ買いした時も一気に残が減る訳でもなく分割支払いのように扱えるのも○です。

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2022-10-01, version 5.5.4*

Love the app and all the features. It lets you share budgets via cloud, recurring expenses/income, choose if money rolls over every month or not, change the start date for your month (mine is set to match when my credit card cycles over) and it has good analyses. I’ve been using for a few years and I only budget my “fun money” these days now that my other expenses are pretty regular, so I’d love a feature to start w/ X$ per month and work down from that since I sometimes have bigger expenses at the beginning of the month and the negative symbol os motivating but also distressing. Which I suppose is the point of a budget app.

### 4/5 — アイコンの並び変更

*2022-03-19, version 5.5.4*

とても気に入っているアプリです。
アイコンの並び順変更機能があれば、星5です。

### 5/5 — Ausgezeichnete Ausgaben-App

*2022-03-19, version 5.5.4*

Nutze die App täglich. Für eine Übersicht des aktuellen Budgets ausgezeichnet.

### 5/5 — Super Awesome App

*2022-03-02, version 5.5.4*

This app has totally revamped the way I do my budget. It's super simple and straightforward, just what you need to easily tack your expenses

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-01-27, version 5.5.3*

Can we please get a refresh or added feature. It’s been 7 months. I still love it though.

I would love to a line graph to show the changes over time. Also it would be great to have the spending, savings, and income all in one visual rather than multiple visuals to make it easier to compare (line graph would be ideal). Also being able to use the app in landscapes to better utilize the screen real estate. The ability to toggle on and off the data points on the visual would be great as well. This would give the user the ability to see only what they need. Thanks again!

### 5/5 — This app really keeps me inline with my budget.

*2022-01-06, version 5.5.3*

I loved using this app, started with the free app and had to get the pro. It’s been extremely helpful.

### 5/5 — Wirkt!

*2021-10-09, version 5.5.3*

Vielleicht gibt es Apps für den Finanzüberblick, die mehr Features haben um sich z.B. mit Konten zu verbinden und ähnliches. Aber diese hier ist unglaublich übersichtlich und sagt mir durch den schlauen Mechanismus an jedem Tag des Monats, wie meine Finanzen am Ende des Monats aussehen werden. Das hilft sparen und gibt Sicherheit!

### 5/5 — Simplemente espectacular

*2021-09-30, version 5.5.3*

Me gusta mucho esta aplicación más que ningún otra, ya que como dice su nombre me ofrece la posibilidad de ver cuanto realmente puedo gastar al día y al mismo tiempo estar ahorrando, recomiendo comprarla al 100% para apoyar al desarrollador

### 5/5 — Makes budgeting (almost) fun!

*2021-05-05, version 5.5.1*

The Daily Budget app is truly a genius approach to budgeting. Kudos to the developers, who continue to respond to their clients and provide updates.  Other budgeting approaches I have tried soon became tedious and, despite my best intentions, I would find myself avoiding the dreaded “Budget”. This one is different.  It is simple, user-friendly and flexible. 

I think the key to my success with it has been: 1) getting into the habit of recording my expenses daily; 2) creating “Big Expenses” for grocery shopping, etc., that are outside of my regular bills; and 3) making sure to record credit card expenses in the budget as they occur. 

Within the app, there is access to a forum on Reddit. It is really helpful to see how others are using their budget. I did purchase the upgraded version of the app which has more customizable features, which I have enjoyed. Overall a great app and useful money management tool!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-05-03, version 5.5.1*

Really great way to stay on top of your finances the trick is really getting yourself to input as much and you can and don’t forget to do it daily! Awesome guide for finances!

### 5/5 — Super praktisch!

*2021-04-29, version 5.5.1*

Die App funktioniert prima, nur dass man ganz am Anfang der Nutzung keine „bisherigen Ausgaben“ eintragen kann, ist schade. Aber wenn man die eine Weile hat, klasse!

### 5/5 — passt

*2021-04-29, version 5.5.1*

Mit der App kann man seine Ausgaben gut kontrollieren. Nutze sie täglich. Alles ist zu verbessern. Vielleicht ein paar neue Symbole. Zusammenstellung der einzelnen Gruppen wäre schön.Damit könnte man sehen, wie viel Geld man so übers Jahr ausgibt.

### 5/5 — 😍😍😍

*2021-04-28, version 5.5.1*

Perfect simple way to track your expenses. I like that it isn't automatic like Mint or Personal Capital, even though I use PC - it doesn't let you get out of feeling every purchase.

### 5/5 — Einfach und stabil!

*2021-04-22, version 5.5*

Hilft mir sehr und ist einfach zu bedienen. Stabil auf mehreren Geräten.

### 5/5 — Die App ist einfach zu bedienen und sehr übersichtlich.

*2021-04-20, version 5.5*

Super App

### 5/5 — 繰越について

*2021-04-19, version 5.5.1*

とても使いやすく、気に入ってます。

繰越が出来るのは有り難いのですが、
収入の多い月と少ない月があるので、繰越た金額を次の月の始めにどかっと足されるのでは無く、繰越た金額をまた次の月に日々按分するよう選べるようにして頂けたら嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — Genau richtig

*2021-04-17, version 5.5*

So muss das sein. Erst die Fixkosten definieren, und danach die variablen Kosten trocken.

### 5/5 — Living with a budget for financial health

*2021-04-14, version 5.5*

Seeing the numbers has made me aware of where my money is disappearing to. Easy to setup, you’ll need last month’s bank statement and bills. Input was simple as the categories are already there and I was able to create a few additional ones. Then step back and watch your daily spending budget appear. Oh my! Now that I have a daily number I can spend, I’m more aware of what I can live without.

### 1/5 — Buggy and no fixes

*2022-10-09, version 5.5.4*

I haves used the original app for years. Unfortunately I have recently come across a bug where you can’t change expenses/income if they change or you make a mistake. I downloaded the pro version hoping that it would not also have the bug, BUT IT DOES. Don’t waste your time or money. I am incredibly disappointed.

### 1/5 — MacPC持ってないとバックアップを復元できない

*2021-01-04, version 5.4.3*

何ヶ月かの収支がマイナスになってしまったので、バックアップファイルを送りリセット、また新しい設定にし直して別のiPhoneにバックアップを読み込ませて管理しようとしたら、FinderというMacのアプリがないとできないと言われました。windowsのエクスプローラーでできないかと試行錯誤したのですが、無理のようです。
復元手順を最後まで確認せずにリセットした私にも非はあるとは思いますが、今までのデータがすべて飛んだと思うとショックでショックで仕方がありません。このアプリを見るたびに非常に辛い気持ちになります。
もう使えなくなったバックアップデータは仕方が無いので、せめて今までのデータを残したまま収支を0に戻す機能をください。
このアプリが好きでプロバージョンも購入したのですが、もうしんどいです…。辛いです。

### 1/5 — No se sincroniza entre dispositivos

*2019-04-09, version 5.1*

Hace un tiempo dejó de sincronizarse. Esperé unos meses a ver si lo solucionaban pero nada. Lo he borrado.

### 1/5 — Sigue la decepción

*2019-04-01, version 5.1*

Acabo de actualizarlo y es aun peor que antes, entras en presupuesto mensual y ya no puedes volver atrás porque ya no está el atrás. Tienes que salir, cerrar y entrar de nuevo.....

### 1/5 — Don’t like concept or layout of app

*2019-02-09, version 5.0.2*

I am not excited about this app. Should have tried the free version first.

### 1/5 — CONCEPT FINE, EXECUTION & SUPPORT POOR

*2018-07-26, version 4.1*

I like the app in principle and paid £9.99 to upgrade to a Pro version.  Tried restoring purchase but it did not take effect. Was unable to add Recurring Expenses - app was stuck at a limited number of expenses, hence financial picture was incorrect. 3 emails to support and one comment on Facebook - no solution after 3 days.  Very disappointing performance, and waste of time.
P.S. Support finally got in touch.  They accept shortcomings, suggested using Big Spending feature to show and calculate future recurring expenses - an inelegant solution.  They accept the app is “work in progress”. Not worth £9.99 in my opinion.

### 1/5 — サイクル？

*2018-05-31, version 4.1*

アプデ後、サイクルの設定がおかしくなってしまいました。以前の形に戻してください。
貯金の予想や、残金も立ち上げるごとに数字が変わってしまいます。

### 1/5 — Was my favorite budget app

*2018-05-09, version 4.0.1*

Let me start out by saying I thought this was the best budget app ever created. I would argue against anybody that would say otherwise. However, I’ve run into the same issue over and over again. Every once in awhile the amount on my daily budget would jump tremendously to a negative amount or to some insane positive amount. I’ve contacted customer support for this many times. And they say it’s because of the cloud syncing and that I need to make sure my cycles are all there. I’ve got use to fixing it even though I wasn’t too happy about it, but now when it just changes for no reason even though all my cycles are there, I just don’t want to deal with it anymore. I hope this doesn’t happen to your app, and maybe my phone is just malfunctioning. I’ve paid for the full version of this app and I’m sad to let it go. I’ll be trying other apps in the meantime until there are improvements or when I get a newer iPhone (currently using iPhone 7). I appreciate the services that I’ve received up to this point. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Disappointing implementation of nice app concept

*2018-01-02, version 3.4.4*

I changed the name of one spending category and it deleted all my notes without any warning... :-( I paid for the app and I was expecting something more trustworthy.

### 1/5 — Dropbox sync faulty

*2017-09-21, version 3.4.1*

Sadly Dropbox sync totally screws up any entered expenses which randomly start disappearing, often for one full month, after synchronising. This basically makes the app useless as it simply does not keep track of your expenses when keeping them on different devices.
This problem persists. Just now three months of records have suddenly disappeared again from my app after synchronising between my devices.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Simpel, übersichtlich & praktisch

*2025-12-15, version 5.6.5*

Nutze die App seit mehreren Jahren zum Tracken. Finde sie sehr einfach zu nutzen. Lediglich, dass die „Fixkosten“ eine Kategorie zuzuordnen sind, fehlt für mich als Feature.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2024-02-15, version 5.6.2*

Great way to refocus my impulse purchases.
By tracking this way it helps me plan for now and into later in the year for the bigger bills.

### 5/5 — Love this app! 💯

*2023-11-03, version 5.6.1*

This is exactly what I needed a simple easy to use app with widgets I can view at a glance.

### 5/5 — Es la mejor que he probado

*2023-10-03, version 5.5.12*

Super sencilla, lo que se necesita

### 5/5 — It’s awesome and you need this in your life

*2023-03-12, version 5.5.10*

Fast & easy? Check!
Encrypted Sync (via iCloud or Dropbox)? Check!
Close to zero data collection? Check!

I only wish there was cross-platform version of this app (there’s SQLLite export, but that’s sub-optimal).

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2022-10-23, version 5.5.5*

Well thought out app

### 5/5 — Seit vielen Jahren ein treuer Begleiter

*2022-10-14, version 5.5.5*

Ich nutze diese App schon seit vielen Jahren, früher um das magere Studenteneinkommen über den Monat zu strecken, heute besonders um mir große Ausgaben auch wirklich leisten zu können. 
Vielleicht liegt es an mir und meiner Vergesslichkeit aber alle paar Jahre empfiehlt sich dann doch ein „Kassensturz“ und ein Neustart da sonst die Budgets nicht mit dem Kontostand zusammenpassen.

### 5/5 — Einiges Probier

*2022-09-08, version 5.5.4*

Hallo,
Ich habe etliche Apps getestet um die Finanzen im Blick zu behalten. Jetzt hab ich mich für ein Mehrkontenmodell entschieden und den Rest mache ich mit Daily Budget! 
Danke für die Einfache  Bedienung

### 5/5 — Simple & effettive

*2022-08-25, version 5.5.4*

It simple effective with an elegant interface. Has everything one needs to track expenses and be encouraged to save regularly. I love to use it.

### 5/5 — Still The Greatest Budgeting App Out!

*2022-08-21, version 5.5.4*

Impressive is an understatement!
