You can’t put any costs or expenses. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Only for people who struggle with Maths *2021-03-03, version 1.0* This app costs you $1.49 just to break your total income into the bucket percentages ie 60%, 20%, 10% and 10%. It doesn’t do anything more- very disappointed as I thought it would do more- especially as you are charged for something so similar that the majority of people with even basic maths can work out. Are there any plans to expand this app? ### 1/5 — Basic *2020-07-17, version 1.0* Very basic app. I thought there might be more too it, like entering in all your expenses and adjusting your percentages but it just does what a calculator can do. ### 3/5 — Does what it says *2024-06-15, version 1.0* What about Mojo? I was hoping to be able to add a bucket. Mojo is missing ### 3/5 — Feature request *2020-11-04, version 1.0* Simple to use, does what it’s suppose to. Would like to suggest changing the input field to include decimals so you can enter your exact income dollars and cents and not just rounded. Also the ability to change the name of accounts if you don’t use Scott’s exact names. ### 3/5 — Great App *2020-06-05, version 1.0* I just finished reading this book and found this App that works to do the buckets. Super easy to use, very interactive and saves me money and time!!!!. I totally recommed it! ### 4/5 — Simplicity is key *2023-03-31, version 1.0* Some people here have complained that you can literally use a calculator instead. Yes that’s true, but that small bit of time I save every pay is worth the spare change that the app costs. My only recommendation is for there to be more than 4 accounts. I’m a sole trader and need to put a percentage of my pay aside for business purposes. Other than that, perfect. Clean and simple. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Love the app but needs improvement *2021-03-02, version 1.0* Started using the app literally today but I absolutely love it. Simple and makes tracking my money easier. The only improvement I can think of is allowing us to change the names of the ‘buckets’ and also the functionality to add or remove ‘buckets’ if needed :)) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-02-23, version 2.2* I could never get my money situation straight until i started to use this app. Separating money into buckets has helped me so much. Thank you for this helpful tool. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, easy, effective *2026-02-20, version 2.0* Been using this app on and off throughout the year and love its simplicity and barefoot buckets grounded grassroots approach. Would love in the future a way for apple foundation models to summarise my spending habits or project into the future, not sure how that would work. Love the one time fee, keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Simple but great *2022-12-16, version 1.0* I’ve been using this app on and off for budgeting, it is super simple to use and does what it says on the box. ### 5/5 — Straightforward *2020-07-05, version 1.0* This app is easy to use and goes straight to the point when it comes to how you can allocate your money for a non stressing financial plan. ### 5/5 — So easy to use *2020-06-05, version 1.0* I read the barefoot investor a few months ago and have been looking for an app like this ever since. If you haven’t read the book it still helps, but if you have then this is exactly what you need!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
