### 4/5 — Bonne app mais certaines choses sont à améliorer

*2026-08-19*

J’utilise cette app depuis bien un an au moins, ci ce n’est pas plus, même sans avoir d’abonnement je trouve que l’application est très complète, je dirais même que l’abonnement est vraiment utile qu’à partir du moment où on veut faire un dossier partagé, pour ma part c’est pour cette raison que j’y ai souscrit récemment, sauf que je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais quand je veux justement envoyer le liens de collaboration à d’autre personnes le liens refuse de se créer et ça me marque que ce n’est pas possible… ce qui est très embêtant car comme je l’ai dit précédemment, j’ai souscrit à l’abonnement uniquement pour cette utilité…

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre fidélité et pour votre abonnement. Nous sommes désolés que la création du lien de collaboration ne fonctionne pas. Nous comprenons à quel point cela peut être frustrant, surtout si vous avez souscrit principalement pour cette fonctionnalité. Pour nous aider à résoudre le problème rapidement, contactez-nous via contact@bluecometlabs.com en indiquant votre adresse e-mail et le message d’erreur rencontré. Notre équipe fera le nécessaire pour vous aider.

### 3/5 — Few functions misusing after update

*2026-06-21*

Before update we use to get a total sum of particular name if v have saved all the expense in that nam once we type that name the total would show. But after update it’s not showing . Please add that function it’s very useful

**Developer response:** Hi! You can use filters to achieve the same result. Just tap the filter icon next to the search field on your iPhone and set your criteria. You will then see the results along with a total sum. If it doesn't work as expected, please let us know via email. We're always happy to improve this feature. Thank you again for sharing your feedback!

### 3/5 — 因为细节变得不好使

*2026-05-17*

本来挺好的app，但最近一次改版之后特别不好使。所有的像“岛”一样的矩形区域的四个角，都变成了大圆角，“岛”上可点击区又非常靠近四个角，因此很难准确的点击，除非用针尖否则一点就点到“岛”外面而离开当前界面了

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈，我们很重视也理解您在新版中遇到的点击困难。您提到的矩形区域四角变大圆角、以及“岛”上可点击范围离边缘过近导致难以精确点击的问题，我们已经记录下来，并会在后续优化中进一步调整可点击区域的布局与点击容错，让它更容易、更顺畅地操作。也欢迎您提供更具体的机型与系统版本，或在界面中对应的截图，我们的团队会据此快速定位并改进。再次感谢您的使用与耐心反馈。

### 5/5 — A+ CS

*2026-05-11, version 4.0.4*

I recently encountered an issue and reached out to customer service. Hiroki was incredibly helpful and resolved my problem efficiently. Additionally, the app is user-friendly and easy to set up.

### 5/5 — The best expenses tracker I’ve used

*2026-05-10*

This app strikes the perfect balance between usability and simplicity, offering all the features I look for when managing my expenses, but no additional complexity to get in the way. I recommend it to anyone who wants to track their spending, but in particular older users who may remember the original Microsoft Money from back around 2000 will feel right at home.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad our app hits the right balance of usability and simplicity, and that the features you need are easy to manage. It means a lot that it feels familiar, especially for those who remember Microsoft Money. We truly appreciate your recommendation and we’re here to help you keep tracking your spending with confidence.

### 5/5 — I’d recommend this app

*2026-05-10, version 4.0.4*

Highly recommend this app. Simple to use and gets the job done. Support is prompt and helpful.

### 5/5 — Couldn’t live without it

*2026-05-06, version 4.0.3*

I’ve been using this app for a few years now and couldn’t live without it. It’s simple, easy to use and utterly brilliant. Before coming across the Expenses Spending Tracker, I worked my way through loads of apps and spreadsheets and none did the job (they were with è too clunky, overly complicated or would lose data). This little app works brilliantly.

### 5/5 — Great budget tracking app

*2026-05-05*

One of the best budget tracking app available ! Easy to use and pairing with shortcut app, I am able to record my expenses seamlessly

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind review and for sharing your experience with Expenses. We’re glad you find it easy to use and that the connection with the Shortcut app helps you record expenses seamlessly. Our goal is to keep budgeting friendly, simple, and professional, and it’s great to hear that our app meets those expectations. If you have any suggestions to make it even better, we’d love to hear them.

### 4/5 — Loved it until…

*2026-05-05, version 4.0.3*

I loved using this to track my expenses until I went to enter more and everything was gone. I then realized you have to pay in order for it to keep your logs.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-05-04, version 4.0.3*

I  have used other apps, but this is the best so far , you can even prints reports .

### 5/5 — It’s just perfect for me!

*2026-05-03, version 4.0.3*

I love this app. It has just the right features that I need. Recent updates make it even better. This is right at the top of my favorite app list!

### 5/5 — Latest update broke the pending and upcoming titles but developer fixed immediately

*2026-05-02*

Developer responded and fixed union next update! 5 stars all the way this last year I have been using with my lifetime purchase!

There’s a blank space where these headers should be but when you click on the lines  the categories are still there just is a pain to figure out which is which. Cannot believe nobody else caught this.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this. The missing Pending and Upcoming headers should be fixed in v4.0.3. Once you update, those section titles should appear correctly again.

Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for catching it. If you still see the issue after updating, please reach out to us by email.

### 5/5 — Great, and always improving

*2026-04-28, version 4.0.1*

This is a straightforward expense app with a very intuitive UI that’s easy to navigate. It’s clean, uncluttered, with just the right amount of functionality.
The developer is responsive to input and requests. The clear commitment to improving the app is impressive.
This Expense app caught my attention years ago and continues to exceed expectations. It’s a winner!

### 5/5 — UNRIVALED support and NO subscription, just one time purchase for iOS and Mac, and Vision Pro!

*2026-04-26*

Update: This app is extremely easy to setup and use and even has a Vision Pro app (included in the very low price!)  In a very short order, I HIGHLY recommend this app.  At first, I tried out the limited free version and found that there was an issue with importing CSV from another app.  I wasn’t sure if it was because the free trial didn’t support that.  I sent a support question and got a very prompt response from Hiroki.  He asked me to send the CSV file to see what the problem is.  I did that and he replied with a fix. (to be honest I really didn’t understand other than it was a format issue, but am confident that what he sent me would have worked. (It was too much for this small brain to comprehend lol).  In spite of this, I purchased the Pro version to support the excellent support from the developer.  I will work around the CSV issue and give the app a workout.  I don’t know if it will work for you but for a very reasonable onetime price you should give it a try.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! It's fantastic to hear how much you appreciate the app's design and that our support was helpful. Hiroki and the team work hard to ensure everyone has a seamless experience. Your decision to upgrade to the Pro version means a lot to us, and it's encouraging to know you're willing to work around the CSV issue. If you need further assistance or insights, feel free to reach out. Enjoy exploring the app!

### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2026-04-26, version 4.0.0*

I’ve been using it daily. Track expenses and keep an eye on my budget. Had a few questions/feedback and got answers from the developer immediately. Great experience. New features added continuously makes it even better.

### 5/5 — UNRIVALED support and NO subscription, just one time purchase for iOS and Mac, and Vision Pro!

*2026-04-18, version 3.9.21*

### 5/5 — Simple and easy

*2026-04-04*

I love that this app’s user interface is so simple and clean. I got really overwhelmed with Rocket Money and other budgeting apps because there was too much going on. I also prefer having to input all my transactions manually rather than connecting to my accounts, so this is perfect for me. I also love the currency exchange feature. It will make my next international trip so much easier when I don’t also have to use a conversion app to input my expenses.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful review. We’re really glad our simple, clean interface helped you feel more in control, especially after finding other budgeting apps overwhelming. We also appreciate that you prefer manual entry—our goal is to make tracking feel easy and comfortable. And it’s great to hear the currency exchange feature will support your upcoming international trip. We’re here to help you stay organized and confident with every expense.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-30, version 3.9.17*

Love simplicity of it. You are provided all you need for logging expenses.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2025-12-31, version 3.9.2*

Hi.  I have just down loaded and put an expense into the wrong sheet - can you transfer or have you just got to delete and input again

Only one star till I solve issue

### 1/5 — upgrade pop-up is too annoying

*2025-11-29, version 3.8.15*

the pop-up to upgrade appearing every time you open the app, or scroll, or add an expense, or do anything is just too much. and it's not easily dismissed with a swipe. very very infuriating

### 1/5 — Unable to create a sheet

*2025-10-21, version 3.8.7*

There’s no sheets in there. Trying to create a sheet and it’s prompting for payment straightaway. Greedy much?

### 1/5 — Disappointed by Subscription

*2025-09-05, version 3.7.36*

The app is easy to use, it’s simple and help me track my spending daily. The only issue I have is that I can track my stats by month/day/year without a subscription. There are other apps where it’s included in the free version.

### 1/5 — Restore app purchase issues

*2025-05-03, version 3.7.12*

I purchased this app about a year and a half ago on my phone. It would not let me restore the purchase when the app had updates so I’m using the free trial and it would not restore on my other devices as I already paid for it. This is a super annoying issue and I would appreciate if customer support could fix this issue. In the meantime, do not waste your money on this app.

### 1/5 — 共有が出来ません！
