## What is Household Budget?

Take control of your expenses and plan your financial future by creating a budget - Now.

Household Budget does it for you. This simple app lets you create the budgeted entries for your income and expenses including but not limited to housing, food, transportation, clothes and personal services, healthcare, entertainment, education, contributions and debt payments, and their sub-categories, on a monthly and yearly basis. 

Graphically visualize different kinds of expenses incurred to the total monthly expense, and how your monthly and annual savings change with the addition of income and expenses. Compare your spending against the guidelines for different categories. Also compare your expenses against the spending of the average consumer. 

Set goals for managing your budget on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis. Create what-if scenarios for your income and expenses to better manage and plan your finances. 

The app not only provides you the weekly or monthly plan, but also lets you save it, so you can see and keep a track of your progress over time. If you would like to share the goals and the budget with your family members, simply tap e-mail, to send the information instantly anytime and anywhere. Alternatively, you can locally save, email and print the details on your family income, expense, savings, and goals. Understanding and improving your savings has never been easier.

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2019-04-02*

Ditto what the first two reviews said. It turned out to be hard to work with. I was not able to scroll on my tablet. The owner needs to work those kinks out before you purchase

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2018-09-29*

Not very good and does not have the flexibility to add specific bills or add annual only bills.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2017-01-10*

I cannot amend this app and alter to fit my budget has no overspend or underspend options. A waste of money.

### 2/5 — Not Impressed!

*2016-04-27*

I thought operating an iPhone 6s this app would run smoothly. It is very laggy. Not exactly what I am wanting.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-10-26*

This app is a waste of money. Don't bother buying it you will be wasting $1.99.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2014-08-09*

This app stinks. Very amateur. Waste of $1.99.

### 1/5 — Not happy customer

*2014-03-31*

Slow, limited in scope and not useful for iPad do not buy this lousy product. Don't waste your money

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2014-03-31*

This app looks like it might work fine if it were responsive. There is terrible response time, and it is shaky and jumpy. It seems like the touch screen doesn't work at all with this app. When I learn how to get a refund I will be getting one. DO NOT BUY.

### 3/5 — User

*2013-10-20*

I really liked the user friendly concept of this app....although once I painstakingly entered all my data - I was unable to save or print my work.  Very frustrated with that!  I finally closed the app after many many tries to save work or print and when I re-opened the app...my work was ALL GONE.  I chose 3 stars because the app itself was exactly what I needed...if only I could save it and/or print.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2013-10-16*

Pretty basic pretty easy to use. My major problem is that for some reason the app doesn't change orientation nor does the keyboard. The app is always vertical and the keyboard is always horizontal. Very frustrating.
