The user guide outlines methods to import, but they just don’t work! Please incorporate the ability to easily import CSV and/or QIF files. Otherwise, this app is useless. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2023-09-02, version 3.6.4* Please include time input in transactions entry. By doing so, this app would be perfect. ### 2/5 — Latest updated modified the Dashboard skin and that is horrible *2022-09-25* The latest updated also updated the Dashboard skin and that is awful. I wish I had the button to return to the previous Dashboard ### 3/5 — So far *2021-01-22, version 3.5.1* So far this app is really cool. I like that you split expense categories but, I would really love to see split accounts for ways of paying. Example paid my restaurant bill on credit card but left cash as a tip. Or had a gift card for part of the meal and paid cash. Or at a grocery store, you pay with a snap card and part you pay cash. So you can split the expenses up but not the ways of paying on the same receipt without making a separate entry. Fix that, and this is close to 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Currency symbol *2020-07-10* Kindly give us an option to change the currency to numerical. I’m using Bahrain dinar as my currency and its coming as Arabic numerical. I would love to buy full version if this has been rectified. Thank you ### 3/5 — It is impossible to change its home currency *2020-06-26, version 3.5.1* I’m using its paid version. Very good app. BUT: I started living in another country and I wanted to change its home currency. Nope! It has no CSV backup and restore, only binary. No income definition ability. ### 3/5 — Just a trial version. *2019-12-09, version 3.5.0* This is just a trial version as number is of entries are restricted to 10. Made for enticing the users to buy their full paid up version. ### 4/5 — Loving it so far *2019-08-18, version 3.4.1* Loving it so far! Budgeting friendly 😍 for those of us who need to have a comprehensive budgeting system. With the upgrade is it possible to link to Australian banks? Please let me know! Would like to upgrade but am based in Au ### 4/5 — Türkçe desteği yokmudur *2019-06-02, version 3.4.1* Uygulama güzel gözüküyor ama Türkçe dili desteklide olsa mükemmel olucaktır ### 2/5 — Should be called trial not lite *2019-06-01, version 3.4.1* Let’s you enter only 20 entries after which you have to buy the full version Which means it’s just a trial version not a lite version ### 3/5 — Cannot uodate full version *2019-03-09, version 3.4.1* The limited version only allow 20 expenses. I want to update but I cannot update, although I follow the instruction. ### 4/5 — Prawie idealna. *2019-01-08, version 3.4.1* Bardzo udana aplikacja. Świetnie wspomaga ewidencjonowanie budżetu domowego. Szczególnie przydatna funkcja chmury, każdy z domowników może wpisywać wydatki. do jednej bazy danych. Dwie prośby. Więcej ikon kategorii/subkategorii do wyboru. Dodanie języka polskiego w celu milszego obcowania z aplikacją. Pozdrawiam ### 3/5 — Very annoying *2018-12-27, version 3.4.1* I don’t see a way to define a budget for a new month without affecting current month’s budget ### 4/5 — Una ayuda muy útil *2018-11-01, version 3.4.1* Muy buena app. Lastima que a pesar de haberla comprado, cuando cambié de celular me pide comprarla de nuevo y no encuentro la forma de restablecer la compra para seguir usándola. ### 4/5 — Muy util *2018-09-19, version 3.4.1* La app esta buena y es muy útil. Dejo una sugerencia: si la app se puede usar en español seria bueno que la ayuda y la guia de usuario tambien este en español. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wasted hours *2023-12-01, version 3.6.4* It looked wonderful. Edited categories. Then I Input loads of figures and ……..nothing. Where did it all go? Then I tried to set recurring expenses to commence before todays date. But it’s not possible Why? So so frustrated. Wasted hours. Sick ### 1/5 — Jelek *2023-10-29, version 3.6.4* “Accounting Finance” is more better ### 1/5 — bad bad *2023-03-19, version 3.6.4* After filling in all my accounts, I discovered that the program does not allow you to record your expenses, and suddenly it was a trick to switch to the paid version, bad behavior ### 1/5 — Don’t get caught *2022-12-18, version 3.6.4* The lite version gives you the semblance it’s a high performing app with lots of features. But after you upgrade as you must after x number of inputs and transactions, these features don’t work. Automated responses from so called help team are cryptic and not designed to solve actual problems. ### 1/5 — Dropbox 😳 *2020-12-11, version 3.5.1* Surely an option of iCloud in this day and age! Can’t use this app unfortunately. ### 1/5 — App stop immediately when open it *2020-01-11, version 3.5.0* I want to try this app before purchase it but after i fill in all my data at night then on the morning next day when i open it will stop immediately. This app look very good but pls find out and fix it for me. I use lite version of this app. Thank you Alex ### 1/5 — Sync doesn’t work *2019-07-30, version 3.4.1* The only reason I chose this app was for the ability to sync within my family. But the sync feature does not work! I contacted support twice. The first time there was no response. The second time they said to delete the group and try again, which I had told them in my message I had already tried. No thank you! ### 1/5 — Не стоит *2019-06-01* Долго синхронизирует данные, неудобная, не качайте ### 1/5 — Brak języka polskiego *2018-10-13, version 3.4.1* Kiedyś były miesiące i inne w języku polskim. Czemu teraz tylko w angielskim??? ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2018-08-01, version 3.4.1* Not stable and have problems not clear also ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Functional and free *2022-07-01, version 3.5.4* This app is really useful tool for budgeting and tracking. Well done developer! ### 5/5 — Good application *2020-02-03, version 3.5.1* This is the app that I am looking for, I need to be free to share the budget with my families. So the group can works as what I expected. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-02-20, version 3.4.1* Have used for two years now and just love it. But it did take time to understand it, sync works well and the reports are very helpful for my accounts. ### 5/5 — Great APP *2018-12-17* I've using it since 2010, it's a great approach to manage expenses and several accounts. It would be great with some statistics about accounts/balances growth rate over a selected period of time. Siri shortcuts to speedup expenses registration would be a TOP addition also, i know it's gonna be hard to do it... ### 5/5 — Mükemmel *2018-12-05, version 3.4.1* Ancak bu kadar basit ve işlevsel olabilirdi. Bill ve Payee fonksiyonlarını kullanmıyorum. Cebim, banka, kartlar, borçlular, alacaklılar vs için çekinmeyin hesap açın. Harcamalar, transferler, tekrarlayan işlemler, valörlü işlemler, çok döviz cinsli... Beğenmeyen bence anlamamıştır... ### 5/5 — 看起来界面很不错 *2018-11-25* 希望没有广告，简单好用 ### 5/5 — Colours are Back! ☺️ *2018-01-05, version 3.3.6* The beautiful colours are back! Can’t wait to keep using this app for many more years to come. ### 5/5 — Супер *2017-12-06* Приложение осень классное ### 5/5 — Лучшее *2017-10-14* Это лучшее по для семейного бюджета. Стабильно, удобно, без тормозов, и синхронизируется везде, мультивалютная Пять балов ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-02, version 3.3.2* Excellent work --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
