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!

Thank you so much for this feedback. Will definitely consider this for our next update!

Simple but great

I’ve been using this app on and off for budgeting, it is super simple to use and does what it says on the box.

Way too basic

The ONLY thing it does is calculate percentages. You can’t put any costs or expenses. Waste of money

Only for people who struggle with Maths

This app costs you $1.49 just to break your total income into the bucket percentages ie 60%, 20%, 10% and 10%.

It doesn’t do anything more- very disappointed as I thought it would do more- especially as you are charged for something so similar that the majority of people with even basic maths can work out.

Are there any plans to expand this app?

Response from developer

Hi there! Absolutely. I am sorry you’ve been disappointed. This app is intentionally simple at this stage, and yes you could solve with simple maths, but the goal is to shave minutes off this process and hopefully inspire people to follow this bucket practice. We are planning on expanding the app to make it a more robust bucket planning app. Watch this space.

Love the app but needs improvement

Started using the app literally today but I absolutely love it. Simple and makes tracking my money easier. The only improvement I can think of is allowing us to change the names of the ‘buckets’ and also the functionality to add or remove ‘buckets’ if needed :))

Feature request

Simple to use, does what it’s suppose to.
Would like to suggest changing the input field to include decimals so you can enter your exact income dollars and cents and not just rounded.

Also the ability to change the name of accounts if you don’t use Scott’s exact names.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! Will definitely keep these in mind for our next release. 2026 edit: Hey there, sorry it took so long but v2 is now live with hopefully all the bells and whistles you were expecting.

Basic

Very basic app. I thought there might be more too it, like entering in all your expenses and adjusting your percentages but it just does what a calculator can do.

Response from developer

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. This app focuses on a specific part of the barefoot model to help you plan and calculate distribution into your “buckets”. I will definitely consider your suggestion for future releases. 2026 Edit: Hey there, sorry it took so long but v2 is now live with hopefully all the bells and whistles you were expecting.

Straightforward

This app is easy to use and goes straight to the point when it comes to how you can allocate your money for a non stressing financial plan.

Great App

I just finished reading this book and found this App that works to do the buckets. Super easy to use, very interactive and saves me money and time!!!!. I totally recommed it!

So easy to use

I read the barefoot investor a few months ago and have been looking for an app like this ever since. If you haven’t read the book it still helps, but if you have then this is exactly what you need!!
