User reviews

The best

I could never get my money situation straight until i started to use this app. Separating money into buckets has helped me so much. Thank you for this helpful tool.

Simple, easy, effective

Been using this app on and off throughout the year and love its simplicity and barefoot buckets grounded grassroots approach.

Would love in the future a way for apple foundation models to summarise my spending habits or project into the future, not sure how that would work.

Love the one time fee, keep up the great work.

Does what it says

What about Mojo? I was hoping to be able to add a bucket. Mojo is missing

Response from developer

Hey there, sorry it took so long, but v2 is now live and both Mojo and Grow are available by default. You can also make your own buckets. You should have access to the new version at no additional cost. Thank you for your patience and support :)

What a waste

Can’t believe I paid $2 for this, the hype had me expecting a lot more 😂 kudos to you though, easy money creating an app that does nothing a calculator can’t.

Response from developer

Hey there, sorry it took so long but v2 is now live with hopefully all the bells and whistles you were expecting. You can make your own buckets, add expense plans, see how long until your saving goals are met based on your allocation, set reminders and so much more! You should have access to the new version at no additional cost. Thank you for your patience and support :)

Simplicity is key

Some people here have complained that you can literally use a calculator instead. Yes that’s true, but that small bit of time I save every pay is worth the spare change that the app costs. My only recommendation is for there to be more than 4 accounts. I’m a sole trader and need to put a percentage of my pay aside for business purposes.

Other than that, perfect. Clean and simple. Thank you!
