## What is Family Budget Book?

Keep track of your finances—on your own or together with your family.

With the Family Budget Tracker, you can quickly and clearly record income and expenses. Set budgets, plan shared savings goals, and analyze where your money goes.

Manage finances together
Create a household and invite other family members or housemates. Shared transactions, budgets, and savings goals are automatically synchronized and available to all members.

The shared activity feed lets you see which transactions, budgets, and savings goals were recently created or modified.

Budgets and forecasts
Set individual monthly budgets for your categories. The app shows you how much has already been spent and the amount still available.

Budget alerts at 75%, 90%, and 100% help you react in time. The monthly forecast also allows you to spot early on if a budget is likely to be exceeded based on your current spending habits.

Achieve savings goals together
Plan for a vacation, a new car, or your personal emergency fund. Create savings goals with a target amount, current savings balance, icon, color, and optional target date. Progress is visible to all household members at any time.

Clear, easy-to-understand insights
Modern overviews and statistics show you income, expenses, and trends at a glance. Compare months, view the current year, or analyze your spending by category.

The monthly summary provides a clear overview of income, expenses, the balance, budget status, and your largest spending category. Key features at a glance:
- Quickly record income and expenses

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App mit tollen Support!!

*2026-08-06*

Die App bietet sehr umfangreiche Funktionen. Neben den vielen voreingestellten Kategorien können Z.B. auch eigene hinzugefügt werden, was eine sehr gute Übersicht über Einnahmen und Ausgaben ermöglicht.
Wir nutzen die App seit mehreren Jahren mit 2 Personen (auch mehr sind möglich) und sind vollkommen zufrieden. Besonders der Support ist als hervorragend zu beschreiben. Fragen werden schnell beantwortet und Probleme (die nur selten aufgetreten sind) wurden immer schnellstens behoben.
Wir können die App nur empfehlen und danken dem Entwickler-Team für die tolle Arbeit.

### 4/5 — No Indian Rupee and Canadian Dollar

*2024-02-26, version 4.12.5*

Many currencies are missing and Multiple currency option seems not there. 

Indian Rupees and Canadian dollars are missing.

### 2/5 — No communication

*2023-06-05*

Requested help from the programmers but received no response.

### 4/5 — Tolle App mit geringem Verbesserungspotenzial

*2022-06-11*

Super App, welche es mit geringem Aufwand ermöglicht mit mehreren Familienmitgliedern ein Haushaltsbuch zu führen. Toll sind die Analysen und die einfach Eingabe. Das einzige, was mir fehlt wäre beispielsweise die Möglichkeit automatisiert aus dem Konto die Ausgaben zu laden, sodass nur noch bar bezahlte Transaktionen händisch eingetragen werden müssen. Da dies aber technisch aufwändig sein dürfte, gibt es hierfür keinen Stern Abzug. Den fünften Stern vergebe ich gerne, falls die Möglichkeit implementiert wird bei den Ausgaben eigene und individuelle Kategorien einzupflegen. Aktuell habe ich immer wieder das Problem, dass keine Kategorie so richtig passt, sodass ich die  Transaktion nun kategorisiert oder unter „Sonstiges“ buchen muss.
Insgesamt aber trotzdem eine tolle App, für welche ich gerne die 5€ für die Premiumversion bezahlt habe.

### 5/5 — Amazing user availability

*2022-04-14*

My wife and I love using this app. It allowed us to see what we are spending on and categorize things

### 5/5 — Übersichtlich, Einfach zu bedienen, Intuitiv

*2021-07-09*

Die App ist einfach zu bedienen, und kann sehr leicht personalisiert werden. Genau das was ich gesucht habe

### 5/5 — Einfach und Übersichtlich

*2021-06-17*

Wir benutzen die App zu zweit. Wir haben bis jetzt die kostenlose Version. Können bis zu drei Artikel am Tag eingeben. 
Die Unter Kategorien können auch noch geändert werden. z.B. Getränke, Knabbereien und Süsigkeiten. 
Wenn ich was eintrage, bekommt meine Partnerin eine Info auf ihr Handy. 
Da sieht sie auch gleich, ob noch Geld drauf ist.

### 5/5 — Jeden Cent wert!

*2021-05-20*

Läuft stabil auf meinem iPhone 6s, 8+, Xr (andere hab ich nicht) sowie auf allen iPads (Pro 9,7“, Pro 10,5) also von alten Geräten bis hin zu den aktuellen (wie Freunde berichten). 
Support bei Fragen (innerhalb von 36 h erhalten) und das natürlich auf deutsch. Wunderbar.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das nette Feedback!
Das nächste Update mit weiteren Auswertungsmöglichkeiten ist bereits in Arbeit und wird bald verfügbar sein. Wir freuen uns über unseren 5. Stern! :)

### 4/5 — Gute App

*2020-09-30*

Die App ist sehr übersichtlich gestaltet und intuitiv bedienbar. 
Toll finde ich, dass man seine Kategorien individuell anlegen kann.
Der Preis für die Pro-Version ist sehr günstig, man kann damit dann aber beliebig viele Einträge am Tag machen. 

Was mir leider fehlt - und dafür gibts auch den Stern Abzug - ist eine Kostendarstellung pro Kategorie im Verlauf. Man sieht zwar generell die monatlich kumulierten Ein- und Ausgaben. Jedoch fehlt der Überblick der monatlichen Kostenentwicklung pro Kategorie. Dies könnte schön in einem Liniendiagramm dargestellt werden, in dem man sich dann per Klick auf die Kategorie die einzelnen Verläufe anzeigen lassen könnte. An die Entwickler: Bitte baut diese Funktion/Übersicht noch ein, dann ist eure App 5 Sterne wert!

### 5/5 — Pretty, simple and amazing

*2020-09-02, version 4.10.3*

Someone rated this app a 2 star and I felt bad cause one opinion should not decide weather or not an app should be downloaded. I tried it and found nothing wrong and it was great.
