Recently, there’s been a change where every time I open the app, it asks me to upgrade to the paid version. This is really annoying - I am ok with the free version! Can it be a banner instead, or come up less frequently? It’s really annoying considering how often I have to enter the app to enter expenses. ### 3/5 — Closest Thing to Perfext *2025-12-15, version 25.6* Currently, this app is broken with iOS 26.2, but I’m sure this will be fixed soon. Other than that, this app is fantastic. Clean, simple, intuitive. Add in a dark mode and address some minor bugs + the iOS 26.2 fix and it’s a 5 star app. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2025-07-06, version 25.2* Simple and straightforward app. Wish more features weren’t behind pay wall. ### 4/5 — Love it! *2025-03-14, version 25.2* Been using this app for years and I have had no issues. ### 3/5 — Decent *2025-03-12, version 25.2* Needs the date selection to be a more intelligent ie. Selecting a year or month separately. ### 3/5 — Help *2025-02-11, version 25.2* I’ve been using the pro version for years. Today I needed to export to my email address but it doesn’t work. Please help!!! ### 5/5 — Easy and effective *2025-01-01, version 25.1* Big fan of the app, not over complicated and stressful to use. Gets the job done well. Suggest it to many people. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2024-10-13, version 24.3* I’ve had this app for years and it has caused me to be a stickler about every dime that is earned and spent…I LOVE IT!! ### 5/5 — Best Expenses App *2024-10-02, version 24.3* This App has been my go to for 6 years now. Not only it helps me budget my complex banking in the simplest way but lets me track of what I owe or what people owe me. Love it! And I hope it stays with me forever. Would be nice to have a cloud backup of my data and better data security in this app but 5 stars because it does what it’s supposed to do amazingly! ### 3/5 — Export no longer working *2024-09-06, version 24.3* Ive used this app for years now - at least 4 years? I paid for the Pro version…. But in the latest version the export is no longer working. It tells me to check my email settings - but they are fine I can send email. I just can not export or send feedback within the app. If I can’t get my data out of the app I no longer will want to use the app and that would be sad - it’s such a simple effective app otherwise!! Any chance to look into why this is not working? ### 4/5 — Very useful. Could use a few tweaks. *2024-08-29, version 24.2* Great for keeping track of spending. I log all of my credit card purchases so that I can make sure to pay them off each month. I would like the ability to edit existing expense categories instead of having to deleted and recreate them with the changes. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-05-07, version 24.2* Love this app. Really helpful ### 4/5 — Tolle App! *2024-04-14, version 24.1* Praktisch und sehr gut konzipiert. Viele Einstellmöglichkeiten und bedienerfreundlich. Es hilft einem den Überblick über die Finanzen auch mobil und von überall zu behalten. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-04-14, version 24.1* This is perfect for keeping track of expenses. Easy to use, easy to add categories and recurring expenses ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unable to export CSV *2026-08-26, version 26.2* I’m using the paid Pro version and love the app. However, I’m no longer able to export my data as a CSV file. I’m not sure whether the export feature is currently not working or if there is an issue with my settings. I’ve tried contacting the developer but haven’t received a response. Could you please resolve this issue? I really need access to my expense data and would hate to have to switch to another app. ### 1/5 — Frustrated over not getting my unlocked features after paying *2026-01-21, version 25.7* I have written multiple time to you regarding the issue I am having with regards to already paying for the pro version and not being able to get the features. You not answering the messages is becoming frustrating. Please fix the problem or give me back my money. ### 1/5 — Asking again for payment *2026-01-03, version 25.7* Love the app. But I paid the full amount to get access to all the features. Did an update on my phone and now the app is asking me to pay again for the features. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with 26.2 *2025-12-18, version 25.6* I’ve been a paid app user for over 5 years. The last couple of updates from the developer have made certain things worse, but was still usable. For one example, the app goes to last category entry, instead of category list. So, each time a new entry is made, you have to go back to main list and pick. Not sure why developer changed this, it just adds extra steps. Annoying, but still usuable. Now, however, after updating to iOS 26.2 (which isn’t the developer’s fault), it is completely useless. After choosing category, there are no options listed for input. It looks like all the numbers and letters are on one line all jumbled together. So you can’t input anything. Now is the time for a new update (actual bug fixes) from the developer to address this issue. Otherwise, a useful app with some annoyances becomes worthless. As it is now, it’s a waste of money. ### 1/5 — This app has bugs *2025-11-15, version 25.6* I have been using this for awhile smoothly but now it’s developed bugs like blank screens entry headings disappearing and when I contact the company I get no responses. ### 1/5 — Budget Expense Pro version *2025-10-13, version 25.3* I had this app pro version for a couple of years and all my expenses were recorded. In this app. Suddenly after IOS upgrade the notes options was found missing. I tried to reinstall the app and all my data was lost. I can’t redeem purchases and I have written several emails to support team with no response. ### 1/5 — Simplistic and can’t sync to multiple device. *2022-01-07, version 2.3.3* Can’t sync the data from iPad to iPhone. Tedious. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2021-05-16, version 2.3.3* If you adjust the time on reoccurring expenses the expense shows up twice for the month. The more you edit a start date the more the same expense gets added to monthly expenses instead of just changing the date. ### 1/5 — Latest update added ads to paid version *2021-05-06, version 2.3.3* Latest update added a pop up ad to my paid version that’s been ad free for years. No bueno. ### 1/5 — Export & email won’t work *2020-10-26, version 2.3.2* I paid the fee and my export and email won’t work The app does very basic things but not worth paying $5.00 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2026-01-10, version 25.7* Super helpful, works perfectly for my needs, and has always been reliable. I’ve been using it for years and it’s made a big difference for my finances. ### 5/5 — Best Expense Tracking App *2026-01-01, version 25.7* I have been using this for 8 years and when it had a glitch after IOS updated, I reached out and the support was awesome. It only took a couple of days and it was fixed! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-12-26, version 25.7* Good app ### 5/5 — The best, simple expense, tracking, and budgeting app out there. *2025-12-21, version 25.6* This is the best expense tracking and budgeting app I have found. Super simple. I use the premium version which just has a one time fee, but the free version is also excellent. It’s what we all need. Set your daily budgets and envelopes and easily track your spending. ### 5/5 — Loving it since 2019!!! *2025-12-13, version 25.6* I am obsessed with this app, I’ve been using it since June 2019. I love how simple the interface is, it’s exactly what I’ve needed all these years to keep track of all my credit card expenses and to plan out my spending/saving. The updates make the interface even better every time and I am SO grateful this app doesn’t overcomplicate or add unnecessary features. Love love love it ### 5/5 — Asking again for payment *2025-10-10, version 25.3* Love the app. But I paid the full amount to get access to all the features. Did an update on my phone and now the app is asking me to pay again for the features. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-06, version 25.2* Years and years of using. Great. I’m thankful. Only ask is to make a recurring purchase that has “every weekday” as an option. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-06-11, version 25.2* Simple. Perfect. ### 5/5 — Best budget app *2025-04-06, version 25.2* I’ve been using this app every day for over 5 years and I love it. Just create your useful categories and enter your expenses and income. ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-01-17, version 25.1* I started using the free version in 2021 and got the pro around 2024. Best app ever, I use it to track everything and save too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
