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!

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.

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

Currency

App is good, but no INR currency is available, unable to use due to it.

Good app

Love the app but I have one input! I see that there’s a free version and the paid version. As a person who’s trying to reduce the spending (and as would the majority of the users be) I would not consider paying regular subscription. I can absolutely see the value in one time payment and would pay for it, but the subscription-based model is basically the opposite of the ethos of the app (at least in my mind). Overall, thanks for the app and thanks for providing a free version too. :)

Glad someone finally made this

I didn’t think an app like this existed, which caused me to rely on either tracker apps or apps made for substance addictions. I would switch between those apps plus my notes app with journal prompts to help me filter through purchases. This app has everything I need, including some of the prompts I’ve seen on Reddit forums. I’m really glad this app was made because it’s helpful to those specifically with overspending and overconsumption issues. It’s been eye opening and super helpful.

A MUST for all those who want to save!

I needed an app like this, and this was fully what I was looking for! The app is clean, simple, and easy to use. I’ve already saved so much money, and being able to track my progress with this app has been the biggest motivator.

Amazing

I have a shopping problem, and I’ve always struggled to control impulse buying tied to my emotions. This app has seriously helped me so much, it helps me actually visualize how much money im saving, and the wishlist feature is awesome with the timer. I love how adding a link puts the picture of what you want on the entry, it’s pretty and so easy to visualize everything. Truly an amazing passion project app, I recommend it to my fellow shopaholics-in-recovery all the time!

Love this app

This is so nice. Minimal, nice color scheme, and as a visual person, nice to see the streak of no spend days! The verbiage in the app is very kind and supportive, no shaming for breaking a streak. Thank you for creating this!

So useful to visualize everything

I’m very excited to keep using this app moving forward into the new year to help keep track of how impulsively I want to spend. I am trying to move away from consumption as a lifestyle.

This app has changed my spending habits

For the first month, I was able to see exactly how much money I didn’t spend on things I wanted. It really helps me pause before I buy. Download it if you want to be more disciplined in your spending.

Amazing app for a 2026 no buy

I’ve been using this app for 2 months now and it does exactly what I need it to - it lets me upload pictures of items I didn’t buy but wanted to and track the money saved as a result. It also lets me track no spend days and create wishlists. I enjoy supporting this independent app/passion project and the lovely creator and developer, Kat - I’ve sent some app recommendations and Kat has been very responsive to my feedback! Must have for your no-buy or low-buy 2026! Thank you, Kat!
