### 1/5 — 为什么不能添加图片？

*2019-06-28*

如题，添加图片就是个摆设吗  点不开啊？？？

### 5/5 — 好用但有个小建议

*2018-12-28*

刚用，简单易上手。但是似乎没有简明的方式直接展现到目前为止的总收入总支出以及余额，仅能选择部分日期的，这点有点麻烦，还要算我的余额。总的来说，其他各方面设计都非常好👍适合那些需要简单就可以记账的，而且可以选择不开数据流量，这点让人很放心！

### 5/5 — 简单方便

*2017-11-22*

男友推荐下载，现在已经成为老公😄，从2015年用到现在,超过两年半了，记账简单方便且明了清晰,强烈推荐,提一点小小的建议：希望能增加一个搜索功能。

### 5/5 — 很棒

*2017-07-27*

软件不大，功能强大。日常生活记录记账完全可以，我已经使用超过一年多了，平时记性不好也不知道每个月进账和支出是多少，自从有了它个人记账也养成了一个好习惯。需要改进的是收支类别再多一些，自定义图标只有一种。

### 5/5 — 評

*2017-05-18*

好用

### 2/5 — 广告怎么去

*2017-04-29*

广告好讨厌

### 2/5 — Nice but Needs Work 《好主意,但是需要改进》

*2016-12-05*

Questions:
Why can't I adjust the monthly budget?
Why can't I set sub-budgets per category?

问题:
为什么我不能调整月度预算吗？
为什么我不能设置每类别之分吗？

Comments:
I like the notes, photos and categories options. This has a very clean & easy to use design.  I wish for the ability to personalize budget and category allowances.  I hope to see features added that will make this more practical in my life.

评论:
