Keep up the good work 🦾 ### 5/5 — Très belle application *2023-03-15* Étant dans le monde du design, je souhaitais pouvoir accéder à une application épurée et qui me permettrait de suivre mes dépenses et bien je suis très satisfaite du rendu de cette application ! Il manquerait juste un petit détail et j’espère que cela viendra avec le temps, ce serait le fait de pouvoir par exemple ajouter une entrée d’argent comme un salaire et voir donc le décompte en temps réel ☺️ ! En tout cas je me suis abonné à l’application et vraiment hâte de la voir évoluer 💪🏼 **Developer response:** Thank you for the amazing review! The app keeps evolving and the new feature — balances brings pretty soon. Translated with Google Translate 😅 ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2022-12-17* Minimalist, Simple and yet powerful! Awesome app and I hope it keeps improving **Developer response:** Thank you for the nice feedback! Yep, the app is going to evolve a lot in 2023 to make your experience of tracking your money flow even more rich and flexible. ### 5/5 — Emoji based expense tracker *2022-07-30* Finally, a simple expense tracker using emojis instead of ugly custom icons. Might be out of scope of this app, but I really need to assign a budget to each category. **Developer response:** I’m glad you like the app. The budgets in the roadmap and will be released in this year. ### 5/5 — Simple *2022-06-13* I like this expense tracker over the others because it’s rather simple and quick to add new expenses. There is only one thing missing besides the csv import which is csv export! **Developer response:** Thanks! I'm currently working on the export csv feature. So, it will be released pretty soon. ### 5/5 — Great and easy to use app! *2022-06-07* Very user friendly and easy app to track expenses and incomes. Highly recommend! The only thing I would like to see is the option to export to excel! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I’ve just finished working on data importing and the next big one will be the exporting feature ;) ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2022-05-26* I love this app!! I use it everyday and it’s so handy! Two things I’d love to see: (1) showing my net spendings (spent + profit) this week on the home page (2) a way to log reimbursements for certain expenses. Sometimes my friends pay me back on Venmo, and it’s handy to know how that’s related in the app! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. 1. Net spending already in the roadmap and will be implemented pretty soon. 2. Reimbursement is a great idea. I’ll think about ways I can implement it. Thanks, Andrew ### 5/5 — All it needs is a widget *2022-05-17* A simple widget that can tell how much you spent today and a-click-away to add new spending. **Developer response:** I actually was thinking what I can add to a widget. Thank for the idea. I added it to the roadmap and it will be implemented in the near future. ### 5/5 — Best money tracking app! *2022-02-17* I’ve tested multiple apps to track my expenses and this one is the best by far! ### 5/5 — Beautifully designed expense tracker *2022-02-03* Five Cents is one of the best expense trackers in the App Store. The understanding of Apple's design guidelines is evident from the clean, minimalistic design, which is fitting for an app that is meant to be used every day. The best feature of Five Cents is the swipe down action to add expenses, as it is so intuitively simple and efficient. Five Cents has the potential to become "the" expense tracker for iOS with such a great design philosophy, really excited to see it become more refined in the future with updates. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Experimental software *2025-08-16* Been using this for about half year, but the UI of the app is always changing, some features are missing after updates, looks like an experimental app. Unsubscribed. **Developer response:** Mind sharing which features are missing after updates? I'd love to help. Anyway, I hope you'll find a decent app that meets your needs. ### 2/5 — Please add shortcut support *2024-10-23* All the other budget apps do too much, this one is almost perfect. Shortcuts integration would make it perfect, I would love to be able to use the new action button on my phone to log a purchase without leaving the app I’m in. **Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review! I'll definitely consider shortcuts integration in the future. ### 3/5 — Disappointed with the latest update *2024-09-19* I was really happy with the previous version of the app, but the recent update has changed several things that I liked. Previously, I could easily track my spending by categories on a weekly or monthly basis, but now I can only see a general bar chart for the entire month, which feels less detailed. Another big change is that before, transactions were linked to specific accounts, so I could clearly see my balances. Now, transactions aren’t associated with any accounts, which makes it harder to track my money. Additionally, editing a transaction now requires more steps than before, making the user experience less streamlined. I hope future updates bring back some of these features that made the app so great. ### 3/5 — Love the concept, but finding issues *2024-02-26* When I downloaded this app, it was because it was exactly what I was looking for: An app that (a) did not retain any of my information, and (b) simply allowed me to record and categorize spending. I would be willing to buy the lifetime subscription to it, if it worked properly. (And I will be happy to change my review if it gets fixed.) I am using the app on my iPhone 14. The issue comes in when I try to edit categories or accounts. There is a bug (at least one) in the programming, so far as I can tell, and it is quite obvious. First, in my version of the app (in February 2024) there were originally two of each category and account (that is, there was a duplicate of each one.) This would be no issue if you could edit them. However, it is difficult to change names or add/delete accounts and tell what is going on. When you change the name of an account or category, it does not seem to take effect. Today, I made a change and then restarted the app. That helped, but the labeling is still wonky—if I could figure out how to proceed to make changes to produce the category label I want consistently, even if I had to keep restarting, I would do it. Right now, I haven’t figured out what the right procedure is to get what I want. To reiterate, I like this app a lot. I do not want something fancy that connects to a bank account—there are lots of those out there. I want this one, and I want it to work right. I will happily give the app 5 stars and buy it, if I can get it to change labels consistently and easily, as I think the developer intended. ### 3/5 — Need to pay for the most basic features! *2023-03-10* Please allow us to access monthly expenses and the ability to add notes to expenses without having to pay for premium :) **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! The app has a lot of free features compared to competitors. You don't have limited accounts / categories number, do have currency rate update weekly, etc. If you really appreciate the app you could consider to support the project that helps you save and control your money flow. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-02-28* The app is simple and easy to use. I will give it 5 stars once I am able to see each past month, what the expenses were, how much money did i spend, where was money spent and so on. Right now you can only see the current month and the yearly overview without exact report of each month. ### 4/5 — great app but no widgets? *2025-10-13* love the app. wish it had widgets though ### 4/5 — Bellissima app, ma… *2025-02-08* L’app è davvero bella, l’estetica è fantastica, minimal e senza troppe distrazioni. Do 4 stelle perché manca una cosa: va bene avere il resoconto di ogni mese, ma vorrei visualizzare sempre il totale che ho, altrimenti non ho un quadro generale di tutti i miei risparmi **Developer response:** Grazie per il feedback! Ho intenzione di calcolare il risparmio totale in poche settimane. ### 4/5 — Add shortcut integration *2024-06-05* Could you please add some shortcut integration? ### 4/5 — Please add shortcut support *2023-09-25* All the other budget apps do too much, this one is almost perfect. Shortcuts integration would make it perfect, I would love to be able to use the new action button on my phone to log a purchase without leaving the app I’m in. **Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review! I'll definitely consider shortcuts integration in the future. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-06* The app is simple and easy to use. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! You can scroll through months back in time. Same for the years. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-02* Just a suggestion: when adding recurrings, the amount of new item added should be subtracted from already lowered total budget amount from that category based on all the recurrings for that category, because right now i have 5 subscriptions but each time i enter new subscription it tells me how much will my total budget be lowered (and does not include how much it already is lowered with other same category recurring items) ### 5/5 — This is hands down the best finance tracker. *2025-07-31* The app is super fast, beautifully designed, and works exactly as expected. I love the small details and the overall experience. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you Kevin! ### 5/5 — For people who don’t like Excel *2025-05-15* I don’t want to learn Excel just to know how much money I’ve spent this month. Five Cents makes it easy to enter expenses and track stuff the way I want. I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t have a budget yet. I pay for the premium and you should too! **Developer response:** Thanks for the amazing review! I’m so happy the app works for you the way you want. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-01-17* Amazing UI and great functionality. ### 5/5 — Awesome UX , please add widgets *2025-01-03* Awesome UX , please add widgets and shortcuts integration, so that users can create automation ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-11-13* Very useful, smooth animations and overall stunning! Waiting for new features to arrive. ### 5/5 — This app is a gem *2024-09-19* This app does what it needs to do: allow us to track our expenses. It does it perfectly, smoothly, with beauty, with harmony. I’ve been waiting for years for an app that would let me easily track my expenses: here it is. A magical app, a gem of the App Store ### 5/5 — SUPER!!! *2023-11-20* EXTRA!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-11-15* Great app overall. The ui looks really good, would love to see more features in future. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
