What's New in mallow

2610.21.0

November 2, 2026

hey, it's been a while! this update fixes a check-in bug that occurred after upgrading to iOS 27. I also had to upgrade the code in a lot of places, so hopefully nothing breaks (just let me know!). I also fixed a bug with displaying goals, where the goal amounts would temporarily get scrambled after editing. new updates are coming your way soon! thank you for all your patience and support as always. -K

Response from developer

Hi!! thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, it means a lot to me and it's really kind of you! I'm really happy to hear you like the app and the simple vibe/design I tried to go for. Please let me know any time if you have any requests for me, and I hope you have a great day ☁️:) -Kat

Love everything but lack of option to log the treats we do buy for ourselves

Needs option to log the purchases when we hit the “buy” button on the pre-buy quiz. I want a log of what I DO choose to buy so I can use it to track my personal spending allowance. A lot of people in coupled relationships share a bank account and have some sort of monthly allowance for personal purchases. The wishlist and the savings goals do not really work in these situations. Would be super cool if this was an optional paid feature I would totally support it for life and recommend it to the legions of SAHM and married japanese dudes who have these sort of arrangements for personal allowances but accidentally go over their spending due to the nature of digital spending being so easy and tempting! I was surprised to see that this feature was not already implemented when I hit the “buy” button on the pre-buy quiz since the inputs are already there for cost! I thought it would save a record of the purchase and total it up for the month. Or at least just save a record of the purchase to look back on for the month! You could implement the feature using that input that is already there. Maybe even add an option to total the amount against the savings goal, but that’s extra! The extra stuff could be a paid feature. I wouldn’t even mind if a basic buy log was a paid feature. I don’t want to use another app for this, not even a notes app. I want to use your app cos it’s great!

Response from developer

Hi!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and helpful review. I think we may have been in touch over email about this feature!! I completely agree that the lack of a "buy" log is the major missing piece that's left for mallow. It's a pretty significant feature so I never had the chance to address it yet (sob), but comments like this are very helpful to me for designing how the end result will look. I'll definitely integrate the buy log into the pre-buy quiz, for example, and I know I would personally benefit from the monthly allowance/target feature for spending. Thank you so much for your support and kindness, it means so much to me that you've put so much thought into helping me make this app better :') Hope you have a great day and thanks for reviewing! -Kat

Easy and supportive

Mallow is fantastic. I’ve been using it for over a year and it has helped me stay very accountable with my goals. This was exactly what I was looking for when deep into my journey of improving my finances. At a time when so many things felt overwhelming, Mallow was simple, supportive, and gave me something to look forward to when following through on my no-spend commitments. It is still continuing to support me in living debt free and deters impulse purchasing. I love being able to see my month from a Birds Eye view and assess my patterns and wins. I will continue to use Mallow daily and keep sharing with friends and family. Can’t recommend it enough! 😊

This is the kind of review that makes me want to print it out and frame it to inspire me to keep going with making apps. Truly, when I read this I was speechless and so filled with gratitude. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and share with me; it means the world to me to hear that you not only found Mallow helpful, but also that you've been using it for so long. I know money and shopping is so personal, so it's truly a privilege to have been a part of your journey. Please don't hesitate to reach out any time to me with your feedback and requests, as I would love to hear them! Thank you so much again for your support 🥹💕🙇🏻‍♀️ -Kat

Love the app but not the subscription

I think it shouldn’t be a subscription as everything is a subscription which can be really annoying. when you have to use that money for dentist bills or your essentials. I agree with the other comment left before me to pay once and have lifetime subscription. that’s what would make it different to other apps on the market. I think the subscription is what is putting people off as most people are flooded with them already.

Almost perfect

Almost perfect, but catch-up check ins should count towards your streak.

Response from developer

Hi!! thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, it's really helpful for this small app :') This is definitely a suggestion I am implementing as a top priority (and will be released before the end of the year), since it's had quite a few requests. Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention and I hope you have a great day! Feel free to message me with any other concerns :) -Kat
