### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2022-11-14, version 3.6.3*

Really good app. Easy to set up and keep track of budget

### 4/5 — Very good app, but .....

*2020-07-29, version 3.6.3*

I have been using this app for a number of years, when I. First got it you could sync the iPhone app with the iPad app, which proved to be just what I wanted.
The app has allowed me to keep my finances in order, i was really pleased with it and recommended it to all my friends.
Then came the major upgrade, the new version proved very capable in managing your finances, presentation had improved and the app was more user friendly.
However, for some unknown reason the author of this wonderful money management app decided to make the two apps incompatible, you can no longer sync the iPhone app with the iPad app.
When the iPad app came out I immediately downloaded it, I felt at £4.95 it was a gift, but, when I found the apps would not sync, I deleted the app and claimed my money back.
Several people have raised this problem, but the author has ignored them and has not made changes that would allow the tho programs to Sync.
This really is a shame, I cannot see any reason for producing such an excellent program that works on iPhone and iPad yet not allowing them to work together.
This could be a five star program, but until it changes and allows syncing I can only award 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Van

*2020-03-02, version 3.6.3*

Ihave a van and dogs and helped me save

### 2/5 — Latest upgrade sucks big time

*2019-10-24, version 3.6.3*

I’ve found the app is a great little app for what it does, does it effectively. The latest update destroys its effectiveness. First of all, on the accounts page, the listings are so large now, what used to fit on one page, now takes two. Deleting an entry used to be simple and forthright, now, you have to search for the way to delete individual listings on the accounts page. The latest update adds a bunch of new icons, and reassigns previously used icons to new icons. You’ll have to go and change ALL your icons, if you use icons to distinguish categories. In my case, what used to be a ledger became an airplane. The icons are also pretty lame. Whereas the layout used to be rich looking, now it is garish, little more than white with coloured pencils. If I could, I would roll back to the previous version.

### 3/5 — Slightly disappointed

*2019-04-03, version 3.6.3*

Would be perfect if you split transaction into multiple budgets. Split categories. Also needs more icons.

### 3/5 — Okay App

*2019-02-26, version 3.6.3*

A big improvement would be to add the option of splitting an expenditure between two or more categories.

### 2/5 — Very basic - with a fundamental gripe

*2018-09-06, version 3.6.3*

I want to enter transactions from more than a year ago and I need to scroll day by day. i.e. no year selection is available at all.  
I have hundreds of past transactions and this is such a basic deal breaker.  Suddenly my day by day back scrolling is giving me 1980, then 1960, 1950, 1928.  Ridiculous!!!!!!!!

This is such basic functionality to get right.
I'm deleting this app.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2018-01-20, version 3.6.3*

App does a good job helping me keep track of my personal finances. Pleased so far

### 4/5 — App Review

*2018-01-06, version 3.6.3*

I review financial apps as a hobby. This app is very good in functionality and data reporting. The only serious issue, which I feel is mandatory in such apps, is the ability to split an entry into multiple categories. It has good flexibility to adapt to various financial circumstances. One thing I would suggest in future updates is the ability to flag an entry for federal/State tax purposes and a report output for such expenses.

### 3/5 — For me It’s a little clumsy to start with

*2018-01-03, version 3.6.3*

I will rate again after i given it a few months

### 3/5 — Money Monitor iPad/iPhone

*2017-08-31, version 3.6.3*

Good app if you only want it on one device.  Have to buy each one separately if you want it on all.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2017-08-19, version 3.6.3*

I have been looking for an app like this one for a long time, finally find one that can keep up with all my banking and expenses also very flexible. Thank You, good work.

### 4/5 — Great program

*2017-07-14, version 3.6.3*

I love this program. I tried several programs before and none were of them were able to assist me in keeping track of all my expenses. 
I am able to make categories. There is a transfer button between accounts just like a bank. I would have given it a five but I do have a few suggestions. I couldn't figure out how to delete an item when I have made a mistake. I have to compensate and create another one. I would pay for this program. 
GREAT! GREAT!!!!

### 4/5 — Easy to keep track of my spending

*2017-07-11, version 3.6.3*

Only used this app for a short time and so far am very happy with it.  I took the time to personalise the categories which was a little laborious but worth it as entering transactions is so quick.  I only use it to track my spending as I already have a budget so use this app to ensure my spending stays on track.

### 1/5 — Money Monitor For IPad

*2025-06-24, version 3.6.3*

Tried a 5 of these programs and this one went the furthest !
Unfortunately it seems I’m unable to email any reports. The Apple Store states the app required to read the report is not available in the UK. 
There are a few other niggles as noted below, but not much point in repeating them.
Will go back to the mainframe and create my own.

### 1/5 — Robgillb

*2020-12-18, version 3.6.3*

This was a brilliant app. But now it is a real pain. I had paid for no adds. Now without warning they have changed everything. I have lost 6 months of information. It will now only take 500 transactions. I need to delete older stuff so I can use it and it crashes every time I delete an item. I am saving all the reports I can and deleting this app as it has gone from a brilliant app to a complete nightmare.

### 1/5 — Great app

*2020-04-04, version 3.6.3*

But what good is the info, if you can’t print it? I’ve tried contacting support, no help there. Until this app can print, it’s useless.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2019-10-05, version 3.6.3*

It crashes all the time. I bought the full version, and it crashed and I lost all my data.

### 1/5 — Bug with delete function

*2018-07-07, version 3.6.3*

Trying to delete a line item by swiping to the left on the item and then pressing the delete function, kicks you out of the program.
Wrote to company and was told that the next update would fix this. STILL waiting must now update its app. Too bad, nice app otherwise.

### 1/5 — Hmm

*2017-08-29, version 3.6.3*

This app does not sync to any financial institutions.  Manual entries are a thing of the past.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2017-03-03, version 3.6*

Set up a cash account. Entered five debits & credits, totalling £110.41. It was 82p short at £109.59. Added 82p to starting balance & it took it off, reducing balance to £108.77. What's going on? Can't trust it.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2017-02-22, version 3.6*

Two ads popped up in the first 30 seconds of opening this app for the first time so I deleted it within 1 minute. I didn't even get a chance to set it up or look around to see how it worked first.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2017-02-03, version 3.6*

I think this app has good potential but with ads covering part of it and ads continually popping up while I was trying to set it up was frustrating. Sorry but after 5 minutes the ads annoyed me too much to continue setting up.

### 1/5 — Poor App

*2017-01-13, version 3.6*

If you close this app on an iOS device with the pinch motion, double click the home button and you (or anyone else) will be able to see the last screen you were working on, showing transactions and balances. This is totally unacceptable and renders this app totally useless. It's to dangerous to have your account balances shown to anyone who may have access to your iOS device.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-19, version 3.6.3*

I have used money monitor for many years now and so easy to use and I can keep accurate records of my spending versus income

### 5/5 — Years Later

*2026-04-05, version 3.6.3*

Have used this app for about 10 years.  The errors that occurred were made by me.  Got my $ worth.

### 5/5 — Very User Friendly

*2021-11-26, version 3.6.3*

After testing several apps of this type I find Money Monitor easy to use making it quick to enter transactions etc. It has a simple clean interface which also gives you all the data you need to track your expenses and spending.

The only thing I would add is when setting up savings budgets it would be great to be able to enter a target amount and perhaps savings goal (eg. new car).

### 5/5 — A great app!

*2019-04-16, version 3.6.3*

I have been looking for an app that can help me keep track of my finances and I am happy with this one.

### 5/5 — Pearlgirltoo

*2019-02-24, version 3.6.3*

Great app! Does everything I need it to do.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2018-10-15, version 3.6.3*

I find this to be one of the best or the best app for tracking expenses and income. They do answer your questions (via e-mail) as soon as possible. Believe me, I have tried practically all of the free apps designed for personal information. I recommend  this app to everyone wanting a personal app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-10-09, version 3.6.3*

Thank you for keeping all the transactions localized in the app.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2018-05-30, version 3.6.3*

Best money tracker out

### 5/5 — Money Monitor

*2018-05-12, version 3.6.3*

Get little app.  Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2018-02-23, version 3.6.3*

Love this app!  Did a lot of searching to find one like this.  I use it for keeping track of expenses and sales for my Etsy Account. Works great for this.  Could add other kinds of accounts, too.
