It lays things out logically, the interface is simple and extremely user friendly. It’s basically my little handwritten notebook budget, but 100X better. They don’t ask to link bank accounts, thank goodness, I don’t like doing that! It lets me see my monthly budgets all in one screen then I can click to view and interact with, and see running totals for the month individually. I can see how much I have left and plan for larger purchases. You can set it up how you like. Easy to edit and delete entries. Took me a couple of hours to enter all my stuff for the remainder of 2020, but it was time well spent. You can flag entries to automatically be entered on the next budget (next month) you create. Gives me everything I wanted in a budgeting app. Seriously, thank you!!! Btw, I had NO problem with paying 4 bucks to get to add dates to my entries. One time fee, NOT recurring! Brilliant!! ### 5/5 — Simple and Elegant *2020-03-03, version 1.8.6* I’ve been using the app for slightly more than a month, and it’s by far the easiest, most user-friendly expanse tracking program I’ve used. I use it on my iPhone and iPad and sync the two effortlessly through Drop Box, though I do wish there was an automatic Apple sync function. The one suggestion I would make, that would help me is to include the capability to use multiple currency symbols. In my case, most of my income and some of my expenses are in US Dollars. However, I don’t live in the States and most of my day-to-day expenses are in another currency. I set up a budget to track cash expenses, but I’m forced to use the $ symbol since that’s the currency symbol for other budgets. It’s a minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. ### 5/5 — Just Right!! *2019-12-18, version 1.8.6* I downloaded a few apps after researching. I deleted the rest and kept this for many reasons. First, it was free (though after building my budgets and playing in the app for about an hour, I happily paid $4 for the upgrade to change the color, and download for sharing -I didn’t even mind the apps honestly). Also, because it was very simple to use and easily customizable for the types of budgets I need to keep. I was able to make a standard budget, some breakdown budgets to plan pay-offs, track quarterly and annual subscriptions, and set up templates for a vacation and a renovation. I love the date feature and the calculation feature which lets you subtract or add from your line items as you go. I appreciate this app the most because of its simplicity, however if I could add one thing, it would be to be able to clone the budgets, because I want to keep my standard budget as a template and actually update a version of it on a monthly basis. If there is a way to do this, please let me know! Overall, thanks for this awesome app, I feel prepared to move into the new year as a new financially responsible me! **Developer response:** Hi CarariChtac, Thanks for your review & kind words. You might find the Star feature useful for recurring items. Please follow these steps: - open your most recent budget - swipe left on any items that you want to repeat month to month and tap Star - once you've finished starring items, create a new budget. All your starred items will be added to the new budget. Hope this helps! Cheers, Danny ### 5/5 — The Only Budget App You Need *2019-12-02, version 1.8.6* I can’t believe how much time I’ve spent trying to keep track of expenses in documents and excel sheets with constantly trying to stay up to date on the most recent budget. Eventually after I couldn’t keep track of what I put away for savings I looked for an app. I wanted something simple and easy and that’s exactly what this is! As an independent contractor there’s a lot to prepare for and save for later. I’m able to create multiple budgets to keep track - Christmas gifts savings, emergency savings, tax savings, and monthly budgets. I can also create budgets to plan for the month ahead. I immediately felt my stress float away after using this app. Helped with so much that was once a headache. Thank you!!! Also you need this app! ### 5/5 — Close to perfect for me *2019-11-07, version 1.8.6* If you are looking for a simple budget tracker Fudget is the app for you. I’ve been using it now for a couple of years and while it has some weird quirks, (my starred expenses sometimes don’t move from month to month) this app does the trick better than any of the way overly complicated apps that require way too much information. I just really need a list of my expenses and a rolling balance to know every month what I can spend and what I can save. I check and use it every single day. Entering and updating expenses is easy. I pay the same bills every month so being able to create the next months budget off the previous month is perfect. Only thing I wish it had was a way to categorize expenses into buckets like utilities, mortgage, transportation, recreation, etc. Seems like this could easily be done with a simple color dot that represents each category. This would be a nice to have for an other great app. ### 5/5 — Simple, easy, effective *2019-09-10, version 1.8.5* This app is incredible! I’ve gone through many budgeting apps and gave up on most of them bc of the complex designs and how it links to my bank account. I love that Fudget is SIMPLE and easy to work with. But what I love the most is the sheer action of marking down my expenses which make me more aware of my spending rather than my bank account being automatically linked without my conscience awareness of my spending habits. It helps me take action of what I choose to buy. It’s been helping me keep my budget and helps me CLEARLY see what I have left, what I can save, and what I can spend. After all the apps I’ve tried, this app is the one that sticks and it keeps it enjoyable to list your budget with its simplistic yet eye-pleasing design. ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2019-08-08, version 1.8.5* You can best believe if there was a world record for the worst with money I would’ve pioneered it, and then subsequently broke it 150x by now. Well, I tried every single budgeting app under the sun, you name it, it’s somewhere on my phone being a waste of space. Enter fudget, one day I decide it’s time to SERIOUSLY make a change. So I jump onto App Store and begin my perilous hunt through “budgeting AI” apps that handle my finances about as well Bill Cosby handles women, finally fudget blesses my life with its existence. No joke, if you need the walkthrough use it because it’s about as comprehensive as State Farm’s Full coverage car insurance. However this app is so easy that I could’ve handed my phone to my husky and she would’ve seemed like a financier with a masters degree and 25 years in the field. I literally have never felt so confident with my money. 10/10 git rekt other financing apps, nothing does it like this. ### 5/5 — Love this app!!!! *2019-07-03, version 1.8.5* I have been searching for an app that I can add income/cash deposits as I receive them as I am a rideshare driver and never know how much I will be earning weekly. For years I’ve been writing my expenses and expected expenses in a book! (In fact different books, whatever diary/notebook I had at the time.) Recently I have been making notes in Notes in my iPhone! It’s a mess! I downloaded other apps but you had to add your monthly income and you couldn’t put in amounts manually as they come in. Also a lot of my expenses are not fixed. (Fuel, groceries etc) Most apps are budgeting your monthly expenses which isn’t what really works for me at the moment! I need to see what’s coming in and what’s going out. I can estimate what I will spend on fuel but then can add the actual cost and delete my estimate!! I upgraded so I can have a running balance and get rid of the adds. You can also change the color of the “backdrop” and you can also upload the information to Dropbox. Another GREAT feature is you can have different budgets. So you could do a weekly one or if you have a savings account that you use for unexpected expenses or “treats”! BRILLIANT!!! Life changing for me! Seriously! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Congratulation to Developer, I wished if only it would have one more option!!! *2019-05-16, version 1.8.5* I am very happy I found this app. I’ve been searching for something like this for long time. I LOVE IT. Very easy to use. It helps you keep your budget organized, categorized and up to date. if you update it as you spend on a daily basis, you will always have real available balance, since your account doesn’t show the right amount (due to pending transactions that sometimes can take days, etc) •LOVE THE SIMPLE LAYOUT• This is what makes this app so great. It is clean and neat. Please never change this. •LOVE THE CHART• It keeps you aware on how much you spend per category day to day. •MESSAGE FOR DANNY DEVELOPER• •I wish if there was an option to add a comment/description within each expense (next to delete,star,paid,calculator option). I am sure that most of us categorize all expenses for better organization. It makes it difficult to remember/keep a track on details regarding a certain expense. Right now I make notes in another app, but I would love to do it all in the same app. •I also wish if there is an option to export the budget with two extra columns: Date and (still non existing:) comment part. Please consider adding these two options. With those two this app would be an absolute winner. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for giving us such an amazing app. Ana **Developer response:** Hi Ana, Thanks for your kind review and suggestions, I'll give them some thought. If you enable the date column (Options > Show date column) and then add some dates to your entries, then these dates should be exported when you tap Options > Export budget. If this is not working, please email me via the app: Settings > Email Danny. Cheers, Danny ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-03-31, version 1.8.4* Being a young adult, it’s sometimes hard to keep track of my money and learn where I’m spending too much! This app helps me realize how much money I’m spending on stuff I don’t really need. I use a budget for each of my credit cards, my savings account and my checking account. I love this app too because when I pay bills such as my car payment, loans and credit card payment, it doesn’t reflect in my bank account right away - takes about 3 days - and it still says I have that additional money - which I really don’t. I love the option to show my running balance on the Fudget app because I can see what I TRULY have left and prevents me from over drafting. Only thing I wish I could do would be in addition to adding an expense or an income, i could also put a transfer to one budget to another - i.e when I make a credit card payment from my checking account, I can show that I transferred the money instead of it showing that I spent that money. But not a big deal, still absolutely love the app! ### 5/5 — Love it ! Very easy to use *2019-03-24, version 1.8.4* I was tired of using the notes section on my iPhone and it being accidentally deleted by me moving too quickly or holding down the select button. Most apps I tried were more in a calendar format or monthly. I like the list form and the fact that I can change the dates to the right myself once I’ve paid them for that month. Also, I love how you can make several budgets. For example , I have one for monthly expenses , our family car insurance and what/who has paid what, and other combined payment plans or things I am saving for . I am really loving it so far and am thankful it fits my way of visually organizing things . I’m a special needs mom to a medically complex little lady and I’m constantly organizing things on my calendar already so linking my finances to my calendar is just too chaotic . I pay bills from my phone usually ok waiting rooms so this is easy to update . This is perfect for me . ### 5/5 — Keeping Track *2019-02-25, version 1.8.4* I really like this app, and have been using it for almost 6 months..I have a lot of different bills and to be honest I forget about some of them, so when it comes time to pay on them, all I have to do is go into Fudget and look at each bill. This app allows you to add as many bills as you wish, as well as mark off the bills you pay as you go on. You can also do multiple months/weeks/days at a time and it’s such an easy click of the button, that it will transfer all reoccurring monthly bills to the next month/week/day. It has helped me keep track of everything and remember important bills and the amount needing to pay on that bill . I will continue to use this app and would definitely recommend this app (Fudget) to others looking for something just like this! ### 5/5 — Great but needs more *2019-01-24, version 1.8.4* I’ve been using Fudget for ~9 months. Honestly, the simplicity of it is what makes the app great! Through day-to-day use it’s amazing. It has definitely made finances easier. However, it’s been a while since a drastic update (which it deeply needs). Some suggestions I have include a budget within a budget. Like a folder inside a folder. It could largely help with organizing. Another suggestion I have to have a separate section for recurring fees for even better organization! All in all, I recommend the app to everyone as it will help with finances and is the easiest app to understand and utilize. Even though it’s easy to understand, it does not sacrifice efficiency. An update would be much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Honestly the best money tracking app. *2018-11-20, version 1.8.3* I didn’t have to give any of my information, and I’m able to input all the expenses and incomes on my own and remove them if I’ve made a mistake or if things change. I never wanted to get a money tracking app because I was so skeptical about giving all my personal info like that and this app made it less personal while still making it super easy. This has made it significantly easier to save money too. I’d been trying to start saving for a car and Christmas and because I’m able to track my money so closely I can determine where to slow down on spending and just set aside the cash. I’ve also been a lot more conscious of my extra spending. So all in all this app is great. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Pretty freaking awesome *2023-07-17* This app is amazing. It's not complicated, it's not super fancy and distracting, and I like that there's no ridiculous summary graphs on it. I feel like those are just a waste of space, and I never refer to them anyway. The ads are bearable bc it's only a little banner at the bottom and you forget they're there. There are no pop-up ads. It does the calculations for you automatically, and it sums up your total income, your total expenses, how much you've paid so far, and what you have left over at the end of every month. It's awesome. The only thing I wish they'd add to it is another person option. My husband and I keep our money and bills separate, and it would be nice to be able to switch over to his finances and see how we're doing. Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend it. Unfortunately I had to lower the stars. This app used to be great. But it is bugging out so badly now. The names of expenses/income keep going blank. Bars are appearing in random spots as I scroll. The total expenses/income at the bottom keeps disappearing and reappearing. And then I get asked to upgrade. NO lol fix your free version first 🤦‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Not so great *2020-02-27, version 1.8.6* in my opinion, fudget has many problems that can be improved, although it does have some useful features. with some improvements, the app will be much better and comfortable to use. I think that the app is too rudimentary, it lacks important features, and it is hard to organize different budgets. while I was using the app I had trouble organizing and categorizing my spendings. I needed to keep track of the things that I bought, but I also needed to categorize them into different categories without the help of the app. I ended up having to create twice as many budgets to keep track of where I spent my money, along with which type of category it went to. but once I figured out how to do it it did become easier to use. the app also lacks certain features that would have made it a lot easier to operate. for example, the calculator is unavailable to the non-paid version, (as stated above) there is no easy way of categorizing, and there is no guide to teach the useful features. these traits, if implemented, can make the app much more efficient and easy to use. regardless the app does have some useful features; and to some, simplicity can be useful. the app does allow you to see where a percentage of your budget goes, it allows for dates to be recorded, and it also allows for charts. all in all the app is not the best. but it does have some useful features. It has room for improvement, and if changes are made, it would be a great app to use. ### 3/5 — I just started using the free version today *2022-04-10, version 1.9.2* So granted I don’t have a lot of experience with it. No budgeting app I’ve tried so far really does what I need it to do but this one seems to give me enough to work with, that I can work it by doing a lot of stuff manually. My main complaint about these apps is they don’t give you anyway to include expenses charged to a credit card. I wound up making a second budget for my credit card and Jerry-rigged it so I can use the pie charts from my bank account budget and credit card budget to see what I’m actually spending and where, by manually adding the categories. Tedious, but hey… better than nothing. I don’t need to share my data across different devices and I can sort the categories with the pie chart so I don’t really need the features you charge for. If you figure out a way I can combine the expenses from my two budgets without screwing up my balances I’d pay you for that. And give you another star. Also, line graphs of my different categories of expenses over time would be awesome. Like which months am I spending more on the horses, on my supplements, on my truck, etc etc That’s worth another star for sure!! But thanks! Best, most user-friendly effort I’ve tried so far. 😎👍 ### 3/5 — Bitter Sweet *2018-06-24, version 1.7.8* I really like the simplicity of the app but now that I am serious about budgeting I feel there are some things that can help make the app more effective and organized without so much going on for example: I have to creat one big budget for my monthly expenses and then separate all of the things in that budget into budgets of their own because I like to see what I’m spending on within my budget if that makes sense. I would like to have a big budget with things like bills, household, family needs etc with the option to click into each one and see purchases and corresponding numbers so I guess something like a ledger within the budget scheme. It helps me not fry my brain trying to remember everything little thing I purchased or paid or have to move in between apps to get something done. I know this is just a budget app but it would really be ahead if it had this option. Other than that it’s nice :). ### 4/5 — Simple, easy, and gets the job done! *2021-06-27, version 1.9.2* This app is very easy and straight forward to use. It is pretty basic, which is not a bad thing—makes it simple enough that anyone can use it. I’ve had other budget apps that are overly complicated and too difficult to edit and use, but this one is exactly opposite. It does not connect to your banks and credit card accounts to track your expenses, so if you’re looking for that feature, its not here, but I actually like that it doesn’t. Its basically a simple spreadsheet that is so easy to edit and write my budget down, and export data to and from if I wanted to. One feature that I wish it had but it doesn’t, is a debt tracker for credit cards and loans, and perhaps a tracker for assets such as investments and real estate which would be helpful for tracking net worth. For this reason alone, I only give four instead of five stars. I supposed you could roughly track this at a snapshot basis by creating another “budget” and list your assets as “income” and your debts as “expenses”—so that the calculation at the bottom of the screen will represent your net worth at any given time—though you will have to manually update this each moment you want to see where you are at with things. It wouldn’t be very useful for creating a smart plan for repaying debts or account for interest accrued or anything fancy like that. Overall, I like this app a lot for its simplicity and ease of use. Well done! ### 4/5 — Just got it and am putting it to good use! But...got a few questions *2020-01-09, version 1.8.6* I love that it’s clean and intuitive to use. I am a grad student who works two part-time jobs and have started a software company about 2 years ago. I’ve been using Google Sheets and Numbers to track my expenses (ineffectively) and wanted something a little more structured that I did have to design myself AND use on my iPad Pro. I really appreciate the running balance, which helps a great deal. I also purchased the upgrade since it was a one time cost opposed to a subscription - which I also loved. However, when I attempted to reach out to ‘Danny’ to ask a question (from my iPad), the window opened prompting me to set up a new email account. If I had an email address, I could just open one of the four email accounts already on this machine and reach out to him from there. So that experience wasn’t ideal. The reason I wanted to reach out to him, is that I wanted to know if there is a way I can schedule or list expenses that occur bi-weekly or weekly, opposed to monthly? If there is, I am not sure how to find it. Please advise. Thx in advance! **Developer response:** Hi Itismyrealname, Thanks for your review. Sorry you had trouble with the email option. It is supposed to just open your default email account with a draft email to send to me. With Fudget, it's best to pick a system (either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) and only stick to that system. You can't really mix the three together. If you wanted to go with bi-weekly, you could just create a budget for each fortnight, e.g. "Oct 15 - Oct 28" "Oct 29 - Sep 11" Hope this helps. Cheers, Danny ### 4/5 — Simple App With a Few Quirks *2018-10-09, version 1.7.9* Fudget is a great simple money management app. It has a simple, clean interface and is easy to navigate. You can easily add transactions and dates to them. I like the ability to use whatever currency you want to in the app, and the fingerprint unlock is a nice touch. There are quite a few things that can definitely be improved though. There’s no way to see all of your transactions on the pie chart across budgets, only within each budget. Also, the ads on the bottom are quite annoying in my opinion. There are many better ways to implement ads that don’t add to the quality of the app instead of subtracting from it. The One way to improve the app but still include ads is to get rid of the ads at the bottom but make a way to make users want to watch ads by giving them something in return. It would also be nice if there was a way to use more than one currency at a time. Overall though this is a great app to track expenses and manage your money. ### 4/5 — Awesome38 *2018-07-21, version 1.7.9* So far I’m enjoying this app on the first day. I wish I found this long time ago. I can only see where it can improve on just a very few things. For example the calculator got stuck and I could not press the “X” to just exit out without checking the green check mark to accept the calculation for an item but that’s not a biggie for me. However, I do wish it had another Tab for a calendar page where I can set reminder alerts to pay each budget bill that I created on a calendar day without using my phone calendar. Next I would still allow for item color pics to label those items on the calendar on the free version just like emojis are free on phones. I recommend this app to anyone just starting off getting straight or learning to plan their budgets. Love it... ### 4/5 — Very very awesome app *2018-06-09, version 1.7.8* I use Fudget, together with another budget app called BalanceCheckbook. Between these two apps, my entire financial life is planned and organized. With Fudget I organize my regular expenses, usually per paycheck. Its very user friendly, and I have recommended Fudget to at least 10 people and all of them love it as well. Very very awesome app. I dropped it from 5 stars because I desperately wish Fudget had a budget to budget memory function. I get that you can star items and add them to another budget but it would be even better if with this, when naming a budget item, it could recommend previous items based on the input characters. Also, would be great if the date column auto sorted the budget items from earliest to latest. Thanks so much for the hard work, my wife and I love your app! ### 4/5 — A review from an ex-user of other budgeting apps *2018-05-27, version 1.7.8* Fudget has very good features. Fudget also has some things I think can be improved. Pros - 1. Very clean app. 2. You can use a calculator to calculate transactions while you scroll up and down on the upper half of the screen through transactions. 3. You can mark when transactions are paid. 4. Although kinda buggy Fudget’s not as buggy as other budgeting apps I’ve had. 5. You can make a separate “main budget” without it getting in the way of the other budgets and transactions. 6. Has potential for more improvement. Cons - 1. Transactions are hard for you to see behind the calculator. 2. I would like to see if it’s possible for the calculator to be made to extend below the bottom of the transactions so they can all be seen as well as calculated if needed. 3. Bugs are always a problem. 4. You have to type in each transaction name individually. I would like to see a feature that would make it where transaction names could be put under a category that the user makes. Then users could scroll through a list of categories made by them to add to a transaction. I miss being able to do this from Spending Tracker (although I don’t miss the pre-made transaction categories). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the simplicity. *2023-05-11* I have tried at least two other budget apps and they both gave me and my spouse headaches. They were just too complicated and involved too many steps to manually update my budget. Fudget is much simpler. My only gripes are that I wish I could mark part of a budget item as paid (like if I only spent $100 on a $400 grocery budget) and I wish there were more colours but I don’t think those are big enough complaints to warrant the loss of a star. The only downside is that my spouse has updated to the latest version of iOS and so her balance bar has disappeared. Mine is still there because I’m on a lower version and not planning on updating anytime soon because of that. We emailed them about the issue and they responded back saying that the app can’t be updated without deleting everyone’s data and that they’re working on Fudget 2. I hope that’s soon because I really like Fudget 1. ### 5/5 — Want to love it… *2023-04-06* After seeing the five star reviews, I did not hesitate to download this app. It is easy enough to get started with and most importantly there is no account setup requirement and I don’t have to sync to my bank account. I also like there is no subscription and the one time purchase price is good. These are the features I love. The problem I am having, is trying to swipe left to edit the budget name is really wonky. It doesn’t consistently respond when trying to swipe on a budget to change the name or to access the delete option. This is frustrating and ruins an otherwise hopeful budget app. I would easily give it five stars and purchase the pro version were it not for this concern. Maybe it will get fixed. Update: The problems stated above have been fixed. It is a worthy app! So far best I have discovered. It would be nice to have a feature to separate out savings or other types of funds (like emergency fund or new dress fund) from the running balance. This would make it easier to compare balance in Fudget to my actual checking account without having to subtract. But this is not a deal breaker, but would easily take it to the next level. ### 5/5 — Cannot Recommend App Enough *2023-02-16* I’ve been looking all over for a good, simple budgeting app. All of the ones we have nowadays are extremely complicated, and often do not allow you to keep track of more than one budget. I actually did find one I liked a couple of years ago, but because it had such little traffic the developers had to wrap it up and take it down. I really hope that doesn’t happen with this one! I’m in my early 20s, and doing my best to develop good spending habits. This app is straightforward, effective, and easy to understand. I love that I can set up multiple budgets to keep my eye on without having to pay a bunch of subscriptions. In fact, once I save up a little bit of money, I plan to buy the one time payment for the full app experience (the payment is definitely not a lot! It’s less than $10. I’m just a very broke 20 year old haha)! That’s how pleased I am with this app!! I hope more people will be able to find this app and also support the developer :) ### 5/5 — I love this ~ a lot *2022-09-23, version 1.9.2* Multiple budgets with a running total let’s you drag and drop items and see how it affects your budget & if there’s enough to cover what’s due and when it’s able to be paid. Also use it it to track current balance due on monthly payment accounts without having to log into the account to see where you stand. Tried a lot of budgeting apps that were more trouble to use than functional. This does everything you need without over complicating things with potentials, maybes, suggestions, pointless charts. Everything in this is designed for simplicity and accuracy. It also makes a useful basic checking account register. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for!! *2022-09-14, version 1.9.2* I just installed this app and purchased the Pro upgrade. After using a few other apps that missed the mark with too many features and complicated processes, this app does exactly what I do with my personal budget spreadsheets. The only features I immediately thought would be helpful would be a setting for an expense's and/or income's due date and/or reminder. But for now I can keep my personal calendar settings for that. Otherwise, great app!!! Update: Now after having used this app for years, I would like to see a feature that would allow me to sort the list of budgets created. I have so many that I now have to scroll down very far to get to the most recent budgets. I keep everything and now am resorting to the backups that are not fun to do. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-08-04, version 1.9.2* Absolutely my go to-app to plan out all of my expenses. I love everything about it. First of all, I love that it doesnt request any accesses to your bank accounts and credit cards. You give it data you want. You can also opt not to share or save the data with anything/anyone/anywhere outside of the app. Love that, too. Secondly, it’s just so user friendly. It’s got all the numbers at your fingertips (like how much you spent so far, how much you have left, etc.). I have multiple “budgets” going… like my base monthly budget, monthly “fun” money budget, travel budget, etc. I love it. Like for example, I budgeted $320 for my hair appointment this month and I spent “only” $285. I never used to track expenses like that, but since I started using the app I actually started being cautious about my “under budget” money and now transfer it immediately to my savings, and then invest. The only suggestion I have is that it would be nice to have the ability to copy/paste a budget. As I mentioned, I keep a base monthly budget with all my monthly bills and anticipated monthly expenses and I usually re-enter the same expenses for each month that I wish I could just copy and paste. ### 5/5 — Elegant and simple *2021-06-03, version 1.9.2* This app has a very user-friendly interface, tutorial, tools, and functionality. If takes moments to learn and setup. Useful additional features at a one time, low, price. It's not overly complex, unless you want that level of detail (I do not). You are able to easily setup, create, name, edit, and delete any item/record and track what you wish without trying to fit things into prenamed items or categories. So far it's been the only budget app I've found that let's me create a basic budget, an overview of income vs living expenses like bills. And does the math. I don't want to track transactions and itemized spending - I have an app that does that from my accounts. It's not useful. ### 5/5 — This Is An Excellent App! *2021-01-16, version 1.9.2* Danny, I’m impressed with this app so much! After doing some research, the reviews in this app convinced me to get it, especially the review of the person who’s used it since 2017 and replaced an Excel spreadsheet. Well tonight I input my budget into this app and have gotten rid of my Excel spreadsheet I’ve used for many years! It covered all the needs I had and more! Easier, nicer layout, good glance at totals, nice flexibility with multiple budgets, and after upgrading to Pro, the removal of ads, the calculator that lets you use the calculated total for an entry, the theme change, and the Dropbox save/restore are all features I used and like! Suggestions for even more efficiency: 1. Cloud sync to all devices. 2. After creating a new budget and tapping into it, when asked to carry over starred items, enable choosing which budget to import those starred items from as opposed to the most recently created. 3. Make a Remove All Paid Marks From Entries option (to start the budget fresh, for example at the start of a new month). 4. Add an Undo option to Undo deletion of an entry (I still use Apple’s shake to Undo, hehe). Thanks for all your hard work! I’m gonna show this app to my cousin tomorrow to help him establish a budget 👍😎. ### 5/5 — Tastes like fudge *2020-12-30, version 1.9.2* Looked at so many different apps and they all want to tie into my account and they don’t let me plan anything for after I retire in a few years. With this I actually was able to plug-in future retirement for where I’m going to be, I was able to plug in my savings as a budget so while I am taking away from my monthly budget I can actually add it into a savings budget. The full program is awesome and I like being able to save to dropbox. Simple and easy and I like being able to move the starred items to the next budget. It even asked me if I wanted to add them to some of the budgets that I had already created but since those were for savings in the future I didn’t need them and it was a simple no to get it to not try to think for me. It’s the best part of the app, it doesn’t try to force me to do anything. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great Potential For A Solid Budget Application *2020-12-25, version 1.9.2* This application continues to improve with each added update. As it stands it is a very good basis for planning on a month by month basis. With a little extra insight by the user it can be adapted as an excellent month to month cash flow monitor and budget planner. It's a keeper. (Added, Jul 8, 2017) The inability to have automatically pass balances from one budget to another prevents my using Fudget as an integrated cash flow tool. But still a handy program. (Added, Aug 21, 2017) Been on vacation with Fudget as my only cash monitor. Sure glad I had it handy. (Added, July 18, 2019) Still using and still like. I use it as the need arises. (Added, Dec 24, 2020) Having used this application since 2017 and having spent hours looking for a better one I’ve came to the conclusion that no other application offers the capability of using it as an annual cash flow manager. Aside from having to tweak the application at the beginning of each month, based on annual computations using a spreadsheet, Fudget allows excellent credit/debit actions between multiple budgets. I only use one Budget, a checkbook, with a positive balance. All other budgets are negative so that the total is ‘Free’ money. If ever ‘Negative’ I’m in trouble. I don’t think the author had this type of usage in mind but I’m glad the capability is there. This application replaced a very large Excel for Applications spreadsheet modified with macros.
