### 3/5 — Good app but inappropriate ads

*2026-02-20, version 9.0*

I like the app features, but sometimes they randomly show inappropriate ads which I hate.

### 5/5 — PTA Treasurer

*2025-10-22, version 8.0.3*

This is great. It helps me keep track of all my expenses, and helps me run the reports I need.

### 5/5 — Good APP

*2025-10-19, version 8.0.3*

So far it has worked very well. It has some nice features.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-10-11, version 8.0.3*

User friendly and works well! I’ve used this app for several years and have no complaints. It’s one of my “must have” apps.

*2025-09-02, version 8.0.3*

### 5/5 — Money Monitor

*2025-08-16, version 8.0.3*

Excellent ap

### 4/5 — Loved it until latest update

*2025-08-08, version 8.0.2*

The update moved all my budget start dates to Aug 2 - I’ve been using this app since Feb. All of the math is now wrong - where I had $14 dollars remaining in a budget on August 1, I now have over $300. The issue is I can’t turn back the start date to Feb to correct this issue. A warning keeps coming up saying I have to choose a date that is before Aug 1. Last time I checked Feb is before Aug. It won’t let me save that change, it just warns me I need to choose a date before Aug 1. I’ve contacted the developer and they were not helpful in the least.

### 5/5 — Money Monitor

*2025-07-17, version 8.0.1*

Very good software. Has helped me greatly to establish track my budget on a day/to-day basis. Would like a few improvements made to the reporting feature and transitioning to month-to-month renewal of budget items.

### 3/5 — Good, but…

*2025-07-09, version 8.0*

I like the app, but the noisy ads make it rude to use in public spaces.

### 5/5 — Good job

### 1/5 — Ad that doesn’t close

*2026-02-07, version 9.0*

I’ve not been able to access the app because there is an ad that pops up when the app opens. There is no option to close the ad, waiting 5mins does nothing

### 1/5 — Fix the latest update!!!!!!!

*2025-06-26, version 8.0*

This latest update completely ruined my budgets! It is telling me I am thousand of dollars over my budgets while simultaneously telling me I haven’t spent any money this month. I have emailed customer support numerous times without any response!  I have been using this app for years and don’t want to start tracking expenses on any other app. Fix it or I will look for a new app.

### 1/5 — I like it, BUT

*2025-06-11, version 7.0.1*

Audio ads make it unusable in public spaces. An ad I saw today appeared to be pornography for pedophiles.

### 1/5 — Now PAY for my own data!

*2024-12-12, version 7.0.1*

I have been using this app for years to track some small businesses transactions and suddenly I now have to pay to see any of what I have inputted. Not cool dudes, not cool. 😠

### 1/5 — Bait & Switch

*2024-10-03, version 7.0*

Bought this app when it was $1.99 and used it constantly, then about a year or so later it asked me to pay for a subscription. I contacted the designer and they informed me due to increased costs the subscription was added. I refused to pay for the subscription and deleted the app. Complete scam. Find another app that doesn’t need a subscription and save yourself some money.

### 1/5 — Bug Makes an Otherwise Great App Unusable

*2024-06-06, version 7.0*

I’ve been using this app to track my budgets for close to 10 years. It does everything I want it to do, but one massive bug makes the app unusable and I will be looking for an alternative. If you cross time zones and use budgets, you will get double charged for expenses. It makes it a major hassle to see what you’ve actually spent and how much you actually have left to spend. I’ve contacted support about this multiple times but they act like they have no idea what I’m talking about, even though other uses have written about the same issue in their reviews. I travel monthly, so this bug completely defeats the purpose of the app for me.

### 1/5 — They will force you to buy an extra subscription!

*2023-07-04, version 6.2*

I bought the app when it was at $1.99. When I bought it, I bought it for unlimited transaction, that should be the deal; they broke that deal, now they want us to buy it as subscription even if we bought it for unlimited transactions. They stopped the unlimited transaction because they want us to buy a subscription. 
What else can I expect from a ethical company like this?

### 1/5 — User of many years

*2023-04-29, version 6.1*

I have been using this app for years & now suddenly I can no longer use it bc now I have to pay to use it. U can shove it, bc I’m not gonna do that. I’ll go back to old fashioned ledgers than. I ain’t giving u money for this app.

### 1/5 — Went From 5 to 1

*2023-01-03, version 6.1*

I bought this app about 2 years ago. Loved how it worked. About 10 days ago it stopped allowing me to make entries and said I needed to sign up for a subscription. I sent an email asking why I needed a subscription when I bought it earlier. Never got an answer but I now can’t even access the app to purchase a subscription.  Got a feeling the developer was upset I didn’t purchase the subscription and complained.   Be careful if you download.

### 1/5 — Not Ok

*2022-10-24, version 6.1*

I paid for this app 4 years ago and now it limits my transactions, now has ads and now it wants me to pay a monthly fee. Not ok!
