Just images of figures that you cannot personalise in any way. This is not an app it's a con. I gave it one star because you can't give none but needed to let others know how bad this is ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2013-02-02* This is a very poor app - cannot think of anything positive to add ### 1/5 — Bryan *2012-09-29* Doesn't work well, cam I have my money back? ### 1/5 — Needs more *2012-09-11* Luv the budget section where you can add figures like a spreadsheet but it needs an actual column. This would allow you to monitor your spending for each month/fortnight. Not worth buying, I have wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Household Budget *2012-08-20* This doesn't work at all, it just has background pictures on the screen, total waste of my household budget! ### 1/5 — Household Budget *2012-08-16* A waste of time, money and effort. Why is it on here, it does not work. I am not able to pull up my saved document. Great concept however it does not work. Very Disappointed... I had to give it one star or I would be able to submit otherwise I would not give any . ### 1/5 — Disappointment *2012-08-07* I don't recommend this app. The various pages don't scroll vertically. Rather, they jump up or down after a long delay. It is overall cumbersome and frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — Paid for it, tried it - deleted it and looked elsewhere *2012-05-18* Not worth the money. Now I know why there wasn't an option to try a free version for a few days! ### 1/5 — Awful *2012-04-14* Not user-frienly, virtually no editing or customizable options, does not scroll smoothly, not worth even 1 cent. Feels like an Excel document that was put together in 10 minutes by an amateur. ### 1/5 — Sploogiesauce *2012-02-27* Yes, this product is a loser. Buy a lottery ticket instead, at least that way you'll expect to be throwing away your money. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2012-02-10* Slow, and with calculation errors and typos. One is even on the sample screen up there - see where it has two tables that say yearly budget? One should say monthly budget. When I did my initial entries - all income and expenses - the comparison page had errors on it where the figures didn't add up. When I navigated away and back again the figures had changed, but one of them - the important one - the savings - is still not accurate (suggesting my monthly savings are more than my income, but it's not even a simple month/year mixup, I can't at a preliminary glance work out what the figure represents). The pages are also very slow to move when you try to slide them up and down. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2012-02-06* The scrolling on this is very tedious and there is no benefit to some of the figures being prefilled as it is time consuming to remove them. You must be prepared to have your figures disappear if you forget to press enter. It would be useful if you could fill in yearly figures and have them broken down into monthly amounts as although this app usefully converts monthly sums in to yearly the reverse is not possible. ### 1/5 — Household Budget App *2012-01-21* It is a piece of crap!!!!! Don't waste your time or money... seriously! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Poor Editing *2013-10-11* This app has no capability to expand each category. It assumes you should have 5+ entertainment expenses but no more than two credit cards. Rediculous! ### 1/5 — What did I just buy? *2013-07-17* I don't understand how this app is even finished. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Unable to see data entered *2013-06-13* Purchased this, entered data, saved file. When I returned to the app the first thing I see is the default data not my own. Found the file but unable to open this file. Now have an app that does not sure what I entered. Is there a way around this? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 3/5 — Was brill *2012-03-28* Was brill intill they updated it and lost all my work on it never tust computers ### 3/5 — Ok *2012-01-09* Good idea, just a bit slow when editing. ### 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. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Miss *2013-10-09* DONT DOWNLOAD!!!!!! This does not work, ripped of $3.99. No wonder you cant get support website down too ### 2/5 — Slow to use *2012-12-27* Data entry was slow and cumbersome ### 2/5 — Make you own mind up but I don't think it's worth the money! *2012-01-20* Kinda does what you need, however you start with a template which is good however it's already full and you have to manually delete the totals one bye one.really time consuming! Scrolling is realy clunky to. Your income and expenses are on to different sheet and would be good to be able to compare them in detail.which yo can't do on the summery. Then your given the average % for people which is rubbish because it has no way of knowing personal situation. All that said I am using it at the moment as I have nothing less. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2011-11-23* The concept is certainly what I am looking for, well presented and simple to use. Unfortunately, the download is buggy not smooth in operation and lacking a home-screen and a security password feature. I will wait until the next date before I use it. Mike ### 2/5 — To difficult to use. *2011-10-29* This could be a good app but it is slow and unresponsive. When you try to input data it keeps going back to the default. It just needs to have the ability to set up a clean file and then be able to easy input. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
