Could not correct entry errors. Didn’t feel intuitive at all. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2017-05-11* Paid for this app? For what to manually input transactions and don't make a mistake. Can't fix it. I want a refund **Developer response:** Sorry for the confusion. Your refund was granted by Apple. Green doesn't connect to your bank to for a few reasons. Security and cost are on the list but making conscious spending habits is number one. Green focuses on the future and after entering recurring expenses the only transaction that needs to be entered are one off spending. We hope you find an app that meets your needs. ### 1/5 — Do not downlod *2016-11-24* It is a very basic app. Not worth the money. ### 3/5 — Great idea but needs more to be truly useful *2017-03-28* I've been looking for a simple app that would show me my forecasted checking account balance based on scheduled transactions. This app is close but needs these features before it is usable. 1. Ability to enter scheduled transactions before the scheduled date. 2. Ability to download transactions from your bank and match them to manually entered transactions. 3. View past transactions. It appears you can no longer see a transaction once it is entered. 4. Ability to reconcile your account. ### 4/5 — The best mobile replacement for Quicken *2019-08-17* Finally I have found an app that does balance forecasting based on my recurring bills while also allowing me to modify the exact amounts of bills as they come in each month. It wasn’t the most intuitive for me, but playing around with that I was able to figure it out. After the fact, I realized I could have gotten more help by reading the description in the App Store. The one feature I wish this had is the ability to change my bill amounts retroactively. Because I don’t know exactly what my paycheck will be until I get it, I can’t reconcile the actual amount until the day I get it, instead of looking out a month, which is what I like to do. That one small change would make this a five-star app for me. ### 4/5 — Only budget app with forecasting *2018-08-23* Pros: forecasting Cons: design is hard to use until you get used to it (doesn’t seem to use the usual iOS app design guidelines) Could use more forecasting features such as planning remaining available funds after subtracting budgets. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We will continue to update Green to make it better. Future planning is a great idea. Thanks again! ### 4/5 — Decent replacement to IReconcile *2018-04-23* Provides the ability to forecast budgets and enter one-time expenses, but it’s a bit of a slog. Pro: -forecasts account balances based on upcoming recurring transactions -forecast visible as graph or details -can set up recurring transfers as biweekly, triweekly, four weekly Con: -Unwieldy to switch between accounts if entering multiple transactions -Must step through 2-3 screens to post any single transaction (category; amount ; date if not today) -takes four screens to set up a recurring transaction -must go back through all four screens to edit any part of a transaction Summary: one of the only apps providing decent forecasting that integrates daily single transactions with recurring bills and payments, but it desperately needs to refine its user interface and allow single-page editing of transactions instead of shepherding you through four transitions so that you can enter a single piece of data per screen **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are working on the update for iOS12. I have a feeling that some of your cons will be addressed. Also, you can quickly switch between accounts by tapping on the account name on the main feed. Thanks again for your review. ### 5/5 — Does almost everything I need *2021-06-29* Would be awesome to get a frequency type where you can set the number of occurrences for an entry. I have a few loans where the only way to have it stay accurate is to make 5x single entries manually. Would be nice to be able to edit recurring transactions in the details screen and tweak the amount for say a recurring credit card payment. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing and thoughtful *2019-12-24* Everyday I can open the app and automatically see what is important, such as what bills to pay today and how much I can afford to spare today (lowest point). I wonder if there is a feature request page. Looking forward to more customizable transactions such as end date or number of occurrences. It’s been a year but I hope new versions are in progress. ### 5/5 — Best Forecast App *2019-11-03* I literally came here to say this is, hands down, the best budget forecast app ever, and to BEG the devs to create an android version, as I am getting rid of my iPhone, and no app on the android market even compares. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice budgeting app *2019-04-07* Nice app. Please add capability to backup data, maybe to Drive or Nextcloud. ### 5/5 — Simple and Effective *2019-04-05* I’ve always wondered why these top selling budget apps never have a prediction formula. Want to know if you REALLY can pay of that credit card or buy that new toy? You need to know more precisely how often your “fixed” expenses are paid out. Also paychecks are not just 2 a month, but don’t be fooled by the bonus ones that come twice a year. Sometimes if your money is tight then your expenses might collide at a certain point and cause chaos. Use this tool to predict your scheduled bills (even those bizarre annual ones such as taxes or a vacation) then take cash out each week for variable expenses (ones you have more control over). You could eat top ramen instead of dry aged steak or ride the bus instead of a limo. Now you’re in control and don’t have to worry about overdrafts. **Developer response:** Thank you for such a nice review. These help us get the word out. ### 5/5 — Ramez Sabat Bullish on Green app *2018-05-10* Ramez Sabat Bullish on Green app **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — Yes!! *2017-10-08* Captures all my bills, income and forecasts cash flow balance (itemized by item/day change occurs - report and graph) a year out, “exactly” what I needed without all the fluff everyone else has. If looking for suggestions on enhancements, consider backup to iCloud, and export detail forecast data as report (eg pdf, txt, etc). It’s perfect so far, and it replaced my need to use Quicken, and this offers same peace of mind. Nice work. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are glad that you find Green useful and easy to use. Watch for future updates which will include your suggestions. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great simple but informative app *2017-06-30* I like the app before but with the new update to view details of the transactions is just perfect. ### 5/5 — Excellent forecasting app *2017-04-29* I have been looking for a good forecasting app for years on the iTunes Store and I think I have finally found it. After using it for about week it seem to do just about everything I need it to. I was able to enter all my reoccurring expenses without an issue followed by the single expenses as well. I really the love the fact that it keeps entries in the pending area unless you clear it and verify the amount. That being said I would like to see 2 improvements: 1. The ability to see past transactions. Maybe 2 weeks worth of them. 2. The ability to change a single reoccurring event before the actually event occurs and without impacting the rest of the entries. Currently I have a monthly expense in April that I know will be different but if I try and change it before it moves into the pending area it will change the entire monthly entry. I just want the ability to change one forecasted event before it occurs and without changing any of the properties associated with that forecasted event. Even without these 2 items I still love using this app. Looking forward to more updates. ************************ I have changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars as the 2 items i listed above have been taken care of. Additionally, I am emailed today about adding a more advanced weekly repeating option (i.e. every 3 or 4 weeks vice just every 2 weeks) and the developer emailed me back in a few hours and said the update should be out in about a week! Awesome app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-01-01* Great visual app, support incredible, they replied almost immediately to a question (you slide transaction right to delete) and it helps you to know when you can spend and when to tighten based on your reoccurring expenses. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
