### 3/5 — Cannot Import Transactions

*2026-06-21, version 2.1.3*

This app fails to import transactions and fails to parse a CSV file, which is a simple task. I tested the same CSV file on different apps and even read it manually, but it still doesn’t work. The UI looks fine, but unfortunately, I can’t use this app because it fails to meet a basic need. I can only give it 3 stars for the UI, but I can’t give more because the app doesn’t fulfill a fundamental requirement.

### 3/5 — It crashes a lot

*2026-06-19, version 2.1.3*

It crashes and exists the app a lot.

### 4/5 — Amazing app! One little thing though…

*2026-01-27*

I love this app so much, this helps me keep a mental idea of how much money I’ve got and all that. I find this layout is the best, and there’s no subscription required for anything! 

My only issue is that one day it randomly deleted all of my data and I wasn’t able to get it back?? I didn’t update anything, and I have no clue as to why this happened but it is quite upsetting. 

That’s the only reason this app gets 4 stars, if I could get my data back it’d be 5!

### 4/5 — Great with small tweaks

*2026-01-08, version 2.1.3*

The application's UI/UX is absolutely very pleasing to look at, although one minor tweak. I have international bank accounts and have money spread throughout digital accounts like Cash App, Venmo, and PayPal, in addition to brick-and-mortar banks like Wells Fargo and USAA. I would like integrations with these or just an easier way to import the data because even with AI, trying to get updated statements or live transactions and convert them to the sample sheet format, ends up being a major difficulty. So if the application is able to accommodate that, I would absolutely pay a subscription for it.

### 3/5 — Need improvement

*2025-12-12*

Need correction in below performance issues. 
First, Budget created doesn’t pulls related entries and shows 100% available even if the budget is exhausted. 
Second, while moving to last section of categories the app gets crashed. Third, please add the feature of calculator in keypad to add multiple amounts while making entries.

Rest this app is superb, finally after struggling with many apps now I have an app that is the best - be it ease of UI, attractive graphics, budgets creation.

### 5/5 — Best free budgeting app

*2025-12-10, version 2.1.3*

No joke, I don’t write this for approval or anything but this has to be one of the best budgeting apps I’ve ever used.

### 5/5 — Completely free

*2025-11-17, version 2.1.3*

It’s 100% and nothing is paywalled

### 5/5 — Great completely free Budget app

*2025-10-12, version 2.1.3*

Really cool feature like stock, market, green and red really shows you where you’re spending your money so you can save and work less and be free. You can track monthly and yearly and it shows you in the chart if you’re going up and spending or down. If you love the app, consider tipping the creator.

### 4/5 — RECEIPT SCANNER

*2025-10-07, version 2.1.3*

I love this app man, so simple and easy to use, no ads, just brilliant. My one feature request is being able to scan in receipts and checks, AI categorization? Idk you guys are great

### 4/5 — Perfect for daily use

*2025-10-01, version 2.1.3*

Best app but need some fixes .

### 5/5 — Brilliance

*2025-09-18*

After using it for a while, I would just like to have one more option to be able to mark if its cash or an online transaction. I rarely rate apps on App store but dude this is crazy good app. I needed something simple like Dime that does the job, I don’t need all the crazy stuff other than logging and seeing my basic expenses. Beautiful UI, completely free, works every time, got widgets. This guy deserves it all 👌

### 5/5 — Dream come true

*2025-08-15, version 2.1.3*

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for days. This app is simple, but with all the features that I need in a thought out and native iOS experience. The fact that it is free, does not detect from the quality of the app, but adds immensely to its appeal. I recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-07-27, version 2.1.3*

Good app

### 5/5 — Fantastic UI & forever free!

*2025-07-25, version 2.1.3*

Can’t believe this app is free, it’s incredibly straight forward and simple. No frilly bits to slow down what you need to do, the onboarding isn’t grating and the ui is simple yet effective.

The Category picker ux is my only small complaint. It’s a bit finnicky, Would not mind seeing the category picker in the income/expense screen to blur the right side of the screen (or entire screen) so we can scroll through the entire list of categories. Right now it’s clipped within a frame.

Overall excellent execution, this is one of those apps I would pay $9.99 for!

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-06-23, version 2.1.3*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2025-06-18, version 2.1.3*

Very good app; open sourced and great design. Privacy oriented; Love this app. What about a feature create multiple accounts?

### 5/5 — Thanks for not being greedy

*2025-06-09, version 2.1.3*

Rare to find such gems that arent money hungry

### 3/5 — Settings & Carryover Balance

*2025-05-31, version 2.1.3*

This app seems exactly what I wanted to try but I can’t even start due to having a balance already in my bank account and I need an option to add this so make sure everything is calculated correctly.

It also would be nice to have a settings to change things off and on and add different categories, notes etc. 

This app definitely has potential!

### 5/5 — Everything you can want in one app

*2025-05-24, version 2.1.3*

This app has everything I can think about when it comes to a finance tracking app. It is so well made and well thought out!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Data gone

*2026-01-03, version 2.1.3*

Data disappeared after good usage

### 1/5 — Great, but not anymore

*2024-07-27, version 2.1.3*

This app was great, but it had some major bug where the entries would disappear for 10 days or more. That beats the whole purpose of the app. In addition, it hasn’t been updated in 8 months, and I can only assume the developer has given up on it. Disappointing, since this was the best manual budgeting/expense tracker app I came across.

### 1/5 — Possibly abandonware?

*2024-07-02, version 2.1.3*

The app mostly works but there are glaring bugs like entire days where entires have disappeared and deleted themselves even though monthly overall amounts are higher than what can be viewed.

Developer hasn’t talked about this app online in a while.

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2024-04-24, version 2.1.3*

Sadly i can’t trust this app anymore, which is a shame, cause i really loved it. This is the second time that all my entries from previous 10 days or so just disappear all of a sudden, which is a huge issue for me.

### 1/5 — Missing emoji

*2024-01-31, version 2.1.3*

Every time I add a new category I get a message saying “missing emoji”! Why do I need an emoji? I added one from my keyboard to no avail. Can't use the app as-is

### 1/5 — Major Bug

*2023-12-14, version 2.1.3*

This app used to be awesome but for the past couple of months it has had a major bug where inputs randomly disappear requiring you to submit things multiple times. It makes it really hard to keep track of finances when some of just randomly disappear. Will have to use another app until this is fixed.

### 1/5 — I hate this update 🤮

*2023-10-20, version 2.1.2*

Please Come back old logo to main app

### 1/5 — UI broken

*2022-10-03, version 1.1.1*

Buttons are enormous and don’t sit in the right spot
Text and icons are running off the screen
Buttons don’t always respond to touches
Weird background on icons
Numpad too big for screen
Could be a good app but doesn’t work on iPhone 13 mini

### 2/5 — Nice ux, but buggy

*2024-07-11, version 2.1.3*

There are bugs: if you change icon/color/name of recurring expenses, they might duplicate and impact total month expenses without you noticing it. If you have a lot of entries, for example on year summary, it will have a lot of lag. A lot. The app rarely gets updates. Other than that, UI/UX is the best

### 2/5 — Looks nice and easy to navigate but limited

*2022-10-30, version 1.1.1*

Nice to use, but unable to set a yearly repeating expense

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app but add a calculator option while inputing data

*2026-07-22, version 2.1.3*

The app is overall great, but add a calculator option while inputing the expenses. It would be a great feature to have.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-21, version 2.1.3*

Wow I’m so impressed with this app I have been looking for something to track my expenses for so long that is simply and does everything I need. I’m glad I saw a reel on YouTube and decided to check it out I’m definitely keeping this app and I will be using it daily m. And also the widgets are a huge plus for me as well

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-06-22, version 2.1.3*

Best app for recording ur usual bills

### 5/5 — THE ABSOLUTE BEST EXPENSES TRACKING APP

*2026-04-29, version 2.1.3*

I’ve tried literally every single app out there and this is the best one. the UX and the simplicity what makes it stands out. My only problem is that the widget option doesn’t work for me. 

also I would recommend for the main screen to have the expenses separated by month by default without applying any filters

### 5/5 — GOAT!

*2026-03-28*

Kudos to the developer for designing such a beautiful app which does the job extremely well! Having tried out multiple apps, no other app (at least the free ones) comes close enough to this app. Excellent job! 

One area of improvement could be adding the ability to segregate your expenses into different scones (such as Cash, debit cards, Credit cards, etc.) would be a welcome addition!

### 5/5 — Good and free

*2026-03-03, version 2.1.3*

Thank you.

### 5/5 — AMAZING APP!

*2026-01-24, version 2.1.3*

By far the best budgeting app i’ve used! It’s so simple to use! I’d recommend an option for adding transactions that can be hidden/turned off and on so I can hide unusual expenses to see my regular expenditure while still having a record of all my transactions!

### 5/5 — Best App

*2026-01-20, version 2.1.3*

Best Money Management App you would ever need. Thanks to the man who made this and made our life more easier. And the most interesting part is that,it’s totally free of cost. Thank you Dime ❤️

### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-01-01, version 2.1.3*

So simple and perfect.

### 5/5 — Simple and Clean

*2025-12-30, version 2.1.3*

This app is perfect. It’s simple and clean. It makes budgeting easy!
