HomeBudget is an integrated expense tracker designed to help you track your expenses, income, bills-due and account balances. It offers support for budgeting, and allows analysis of your expenses and income, including charts and graphs. Two key differentiating features of HomeBudget are: 

1. Integrated set of features. The features within HomeBudget are well integrated such that a bill can become an expense (when you pay for it) and also adjust the account balance at the same time.

2. Family sync. HomeBudget includes Family Sync, an advanced feature that allows a group of devices within the household to exchange expense and income information, and work together within a single budget. Once setup, the devices sync with each other automatically over the air. Family Sync works across all features including Bills and Accounts. Please refer to the Family Sync Quick Start guide at http://www.anishu.com for information on configuring Family Sync.

### 5/5 — Glad to see the update

*2026-08-01, version 3.6.5*

I had been using the old version for years and was recently notified that it would no longer work with any future IOS upgrades. I looked around for another budget software, tried a few out, but nothing worked like the old Home Budget. So I was delighted when this new version was released. It is much improved over the older version. But I was wondering in future updates if you could incorporate a couple of changes. First: When you click on the check marks, they are very light. I was wondering if you could darken them up a bit more like the old version. Secondly, in the old version, I could look back over the previous months and have a quick break down of expenses and revenues for each month. It gave me a could overview of how things were going over the past year. You have the forecast which is similar, but it doesn’t look back over the previous months. Anyway, other than these two little things, I am delighted that you released this update.

### 5/5 — Fonctionnalités

*2026-07-26, version 3.6.5*

S’il m’était possible d’effacer les données budgétaires des années antérieures, je me sentirais obligé de donner 5 étoiles. 
Malgré cette petite limitation, j’accorde quand même 5 étoiles. 
Un petit clin d’œil à James à ce sujet. !

### 1/5 — Not worth the buy

*2026-07-23, version 3.6.5*

Honestly, it seems just thrown together. The structure is nice….. but it lacks the support for Dark Mode. The developers support website is running http and not https, as a cybersecurity professional: right away, i do not trust the security. The support email I sent was not responded to. And the app itself just seems….. Blah. I would not recommend.

### 5/5 — Perfect budget app

*2026-07-16, version 3.6.5*

I’m guessing I’ve been using this app for more than 15 years. I appreciate that I can make my own categories on the spending side, and the savings side. Also appreciate that it updates flawlessly across devices. Not sure what I’m gonna use if this app ever goes away.

### 2/5 — Linking to Dropbox for Backup has failed

*2026-07-12, version 3.6.5*

Having upgraded my iPhone in the last month or so and migrated my data I have found that the link to back up my data to Dropbox no longer works. Have reported to Support a number of times but still no resolution. I have many years of data here and am very concerned this has still not been resolved - hence my submitting this review. I hope they are able to respond and solve this major issue.

### 1/5 — ..

*2026-07-03, version 3.6.5*

I need to delete my review

### 2/5 — Last update has made the app less usable

*2026-07-01, version 3.6.5*

I bought this app over a decade ago. I loved that I was able to log my purchases and know exactly where my accounts stood. After the last update, I can’t scroll through my notes anymore. I can still use the search function. But it’s impossible to read further than 2 lines. This is really frustrating for me when I’m searching for data.

### 5/5 — Budgeting with this app for nearly 15 years

*2026-06-24, version 3.6.5*

This app keeps on kicking.  For nearly 15 years, it has tracked every expense in my household.  It is simple to use and great for anyone who doesn’t mind (or prefers) manually inputting transactions.

### 4/5 — Great app, but

*2026-06-11, version 3.6.5*

This app is perfect, but it needs a small update to enable users to add and track stock assets

### 5/5 — Indispensable

*2026-06-11, version 3.6.5*

Je l’utilise depuis 2010 avec grande fiabilité. Aucune perte de données. Il traverse toute les version de IPad et IPhone sans accros.
