It's really fun and definitely incentivises me to track my spending every day. I didn't actually realise how much random stuff I spend money on 😅 The thing that would make this a 5 star app is a savings goal feature. I want to save up for big goals, and have some kind of in-game reward for that. It would help motivate me to spend less! Otherwise, great app, really cute and easy to use. ### 2/5 — App開啟時間過長 *2026-07-13, version 4.19.7* 每次打開程式想要記帳都要等待很久，我猜是app試圖連線網路，但通常都是通勤時的零碎時間記帳，且這些時間網路不穩，我記得幾個月前還不會這樣，現在變得越來越難用，希望能好好改善 ### 2/5 — Добавьте языки *2026-07-12* Пора уже добавить русский язык ### 3/5 — cute and functional; needs some work *2026-07-02, version 4.19.5* I used this many years ago- maybe a decade ago, and decided to redownload as I remember it being a fun way to keep track of things. I would love the ability to track investments without it being included as an “expense”- particularly in the balanced view. I think it should be seen as a third bar/category. The paid subscription is also new and a bit disappointing lol ### 4/5 — Good, haven’t used for long *2026-05-26, version 4.19.3* So far the game is good, seems like the budget features are behind a $7.99 paywall though ### 3/5 — Suggestion *2026-04-08, version 4.17.3* I’ve only been using this for a little while so this is a first impressions, I think it’s a really cute and fun app i love the visuals. But I really wish there was a way to set up some financial goals, a way to set up a goal amount to save for example a debt that I need to pay and it’ll track the amount I put in until it’s paid off. It would be nice to have the same customised categories applied to it so people could track for goal amounts for holidays and anything else they may need to save for, it could be a statue that you build in your city and once you complete the goal amount the statues complete. ### 5/5 — Awesome Finance Tracker *2026-04-03, version 4.17.3* Makes tracking your expenses fun and makes you want to keep tracking to keep upgrading your town. ### 4/5 — A fun way to get into budgeting! *2026-03-29, version 4.17.0* I am loving the trend of gamified life skills! It makes tracking my expenses less of a chore and something I actually look forward to doing! My only complaint is that every day that I don’t spend or receive money, it automatically builds a park and I’m trying to spend less so my city is totally overrun with parks! I’m still grateful for a gamified budget app, and gamified life skills apps in general, so many of us had upbringings that lacked real teaching of life skills, so free resources like these are great. ### 3/5 — Simple *2026-03-26, version 4.17.0* Makes me happy ### 5/5 — ADHD Dream *2026-02-14, version 4.13.5* Fun way to track spending. Perfect for that ADHD dopamine hit ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No diamonds rewarded after watching Ads repeatedly *2026-08-05, version 4.20.2* It used to be a good app to track my expenses with interactive interface. However, in the past 2 weeks it there had been a few instances where I couldn’t get the diamonds after playing the ads repeatedly. It’s either the claim reward button was not working or it didn’t appear at all. I feel betrayed. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to reflect this to the team other than posting a bad review here. ### 1/5 — U have to pay *2026-07-15, version 4.19.8* Too expensive ### 1/5 — 更新之後資料消失 *2026-06-30, version 4.19.5* 更新app之後近兩個月資料直接消失 ### 1/5 — No diamonds rewarded after watching Ads repeatedly *2026-05-18, version 4.19.2* It used to be a good app to track my expenses with interactive interface.

Also, the ads are too long; they keep popping up. So annoying!! ### 1/5 — Ads!!!! *2026-02-22, version 4.13.5* Way too many ads, I can’t even merge two buildings before an ad pops up. Ridiculous!! ### 1/5 — Hate the pop up ads that ruins my user experience *2026-02-16, version 4.13.5* I watch the ads regularly for diamonds, but I hate that ads just bump up that ruins my experience. I use the app to track my spend and I do it for a reason, what the heck with all the pop up ads… I used to love this app, I would give it 5 stars. But now, this has stopped me from engaging more and I would consider switching to a different app. ### 1/5 — 广告太多了准备卸载了 *2026-02-12, version 4.13.5* 记账记得好好的弹出个广告，都忘记原本要记什么了 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-08-29, version 4.20.6* Addicting ### 5/5 — Love it 😊 *2026-08-03, version 4.20.0* Wonderful app helps me track my spending and savings. ### 5/5 — Surprised how good this app is *2026-08-03, version 4.20.2* The app kind of reminds me of Tom cat life, it’s a nice blend of being a game and a tracker, it’s very cute and I’m just surprised now little reviews it’s getting… I would recommend the creator puts out a better advert or spends more on advertising Genuinely really liking this game so it deserves to be hyped up better ✨ ### 5/5 — 挺不错 *2026-07-29, version 4.20.2* 挺好的 ### 5/5 — Прикол *2026-07-27* Пока прикольно, пользуюсь пару дней. В целом получается лучше чем с остальными трекерами денег))) ### 5/5 — totally recommend *2026-07-07, version 4.19.5* i really enjoy this way of tracking my expenses. the game is really cute ### 5/5 — 画风很可爱 *2026-06-17, version 4.19.5* 记账也很方便快捷！ ### 5/5 — 好 *2026-06-17, version 4.19.5* ！！ ### 5/5 — Cute but it makes me want to spend more😂😂 *2026-06-12* Wish there wasn’t a city population limit especially one this strict ### 5/5 — Big fan of this app *2026-04-08, version 4.17.3* I used it since 2019, it is great and keep updating. The gem is expensive but can be added through watching ads. I would like to pay for it if it has a [Lifetime VIP] that <$30 (even though I don't need the premium features) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
