User reviews

Vibe coded mess

not really helpful at all and pretty obviously vibe coded. not even sure what is there to pay for since there are apps that do the same thing for free. i also think it's trying to copy the name of another military based budgeting app. seems sketchy.

Response from developer

I would love to hear your concern on which area did you not find helpful. Please reach out to milbudgetbuddy@proton.me for further assistance. Thank you

Misleading

After paying $5 to download this app and filling out all the info.

I was presented with a screen to begin a free trial for 7 days and then need to pay to use the app monthly or annually.

If i knew that before hand i wouldn’t even have downloaded it !

Waste of money and putting this out there for awareness. Plenty of apps offer the same or similar functions for free/no monthly fee.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry for the surprise. You're right that charging for the download on top of a subscription wasn't fair . I've made some changes and the app will be free to download. The 7-day trial and subscription still apply for full access to the calculators, but you'll never pay just to try it out again. Appreciate you flagging this. Please send me an email to milbudgetbuddy@proton.me if you have any other issues or concerns.
