### 4/5 — Invisible “.” On keypad

*2022-07-09, version 1.13*

It’s a great app, however, there is a problem when it comes to adding in the “.” When it comes to adding prices. You cannot see it and it’s hard to find where it is when you start to press around trying to look for it on the key pad. I hope the developer fixes this, it would be a really great app when it’s there to see.

### 5/5 — 귀여워요!

*2021-09-30*

디자인이 마음에 들면서 심플한 지출기입장을 찾고 있었는데 넘 귀엽고 간편해서 좋아요! 
유료로 결제하고 잘 사용하고 있는데 사용하다 보니 오류가 너무 잦다는 생각이 들어요ㅠㅠ
수정하면 바로 바뀌지 않는다거나, 수정하고 저장이 안되고 다른 버튼을 눌러도 꼼짝도 안해요,, 그럴땐 앱을 종료하고 다시 키는데 가끔이면 그냥 감안하고 쓰겠는데 2-3번에 한번씩 그러니까 좀 답답해용,, 개선 부탁드립니다ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — 오류 수정 부탁드립니다

*2021-07-29, version 1.13*

요즘 지출을 입력을 하면 카테고리 지정이 안되고 0원으로 저장이 되거나 화면이 멈춰버려서 껐다 다시키는 상황이 자꾸 생겨요
히나꼬 지출기입장 귀여워서 몇년째 쓰고있는데 오류좀 고쳐주세요 ㅠㅠ

### 2/5 — Data missing

*2021-06-16, version 1.13*

Please fix, data missing all the time and it came back after you restart the app! It’s really annoyed

### 5/5 — 디자인 추가 요청합니다!

*2021-06-08*

다른 지출기입 어플들중에 디자인은 맘에들어도 기능이 마음에 안드는데 이어플은 기능이 제가 딱 원하는 기능만 담겨있어서 3년 넘게 사용했어요! 그렇지만 몇년동안 디자인 배경이 추가 되지도 않고 그래서 유료로 안바꾸고 있었거든요 ㅠㅠ..  새로운 배경이 생겼으면 좋겠습니다! 제가 디자인한 디자인 제출하고 싶네요ㅠㅠ

### 4/5 — 문의하기가 안되어 리뷰로 문의합니다

*2021-03-02*

얼마전부터 지출일과 내역입력일이 다르면 해당 지출일의 지출내역이 합쳐지지 않고 따로 분리되는 현상이 나타나는데, 이 현상은 수정이 안될까요? 모든 지출을 그때그때 입력하지 못하기 때문에 앱이 더 필요하다 생각하는데..날짜 변경방법이 바뀌면서 생긴 문제 같은데 일목요연한 지출정리가 되지 않아 아쉽습니다. 
더해서 3.2.에 2.28. 지출내용을 입력했다가 지출일을 3.1.로 수정하니 전체 항목이 사라지네요. 아예 삭제된 건지 어딘가 숨어 있는 건지 알 수 있는 방법이 없어서 다시 입력했습니다. 이 현상도 해결 가능할까요? 
몇년간 무료로 다운받아 필요한 부분에 잘 사용해왔는데 최근에는 불편함이 커져 처음으로 리뷰 남겨봅니다.

### 5/5 — 너무 좋은데 아쉬운 점..!

*2020-12-14, version 1.12*

진짜 다 너무너무 좋은데 돌발 수입을 기록할 수 없어 아쉬워요ㅠㅠ 소액으로 돈이 생겼을때는 그만큼 뭘 사게 되는데, 나중에 볼 땐 그냥 돈을 쓰기만 한 것 같아서 아쉽긴합니다ㅜㅜ

다른점들은 다 너무너무 만족스러워요! 유료결제해서 매우 잘 쓰고 있습니다ㅎㅎ

### 3/5 — รายการที่บันทึกไว้หาย

*2020-10-03, version 1.12*

รายการที่บันทึกไว้เดี๋ยวก็หายไป เดี๋ยวก็โชว์ เป็นแบบนี้หลายครั้ง

### 1/5 — ใช้ง่ายแต่แอพมีปัญหาบ่อย

*2020-09-01, version 1.12*

ตัวแอพใช้งานง่าย แต่พอใช้ไปเรื่อยๆวันที่เริ่มรวน เราเลยคิดว่าลองจ่ายเงินซื้อทีมมาใหม่เผื่อหายรวน สรุปตอนแรกตั้งค่าให้เราปี2563 แต่พอหลังรวนก็เปลี่ยนเป็น2020 แล้วไม่มีตั้งค่าวันที่ให้เลย เราต้องไล่เปลี่ยนปีทุกครั้งที่จะลงแล้วเยอะมาก ล่าสุดก่อนลบวันคือรวนไปหมดตั้งค่าวันไม่ได้เลยค้างอยู่ที่ปี1477 พอเราลบแอพ สรุปที่เราจ่ายเงินซื้อคือหายหมด 

อยากให้แก้
1. ล็อคเป็นแอคเคาท์เลยว่าแอคเคาท์นี้เคยซื้อแล้ว พอลบแอพเพื่อตั้งค่าใหม่ธีมที่โหลดจะได้ไม่หาย
2. เพิ่มระบบตั้งค่าวันที่ให้แน่นอน

### 4/5 — Work

*2020-08-16, version 1.12*

ใช้ง่าย ถูกใจ เหมาะกับการทำเบื้องต้นไม่ซับซ้อน
