App needs urgent update

iCloud not syncing so I lost all data since probably 10 years , setting buttons not working so I can’t rest my password

Sync

This app not sync with iCloud 😢

Loading issue

Firstly, I just want to say that I have been using this up for years and I really love the simplicity and ease of use. I have tried most others and none can compare.

However, I upgraded from an iPhone 6 to a XS and ever since, the app has been extremely slow to load. When I open the app, it takes about 3 seconds to load my balance, then when I click on “New transaction”, it takes another 3-5 seconds to load my categories. This is extremely frustrating when I am trying to do a quick expense (which I do multiple times a day).

I’d love for this to be fixed instead of adding new app color options.

Strongly suggested features:

1. Add a weekly recurring transactions. I have some transactions that occur every week which I cannot automate.

2. Add a widget for quick transaction. Perhaps a small 4-5 of the most used categories along with a number pad to add transactions on the fly.

As I said, I have been using this app for years now and I love it, but nothing has really changed for a long time. I’d pay for a V2 with someone of the features I suggested/new ones along with a mini graphical “facelift”.

Best personal budgeting app

I’ve used this app for over 5 years and it’s grown with me all along the way across multiple iOS updates and three phones. As long as the developer keeps updating the app (and it’s updated frequently thank goodness), I’ll continue to use it!!!

This is my personal thank you!!!!

Simple, flexible, not 'grabby' with my info

I've been using this app for a long time to help me track and control my spending, and it does everything I need it to without having to log in, connect to an account, or other 'service creep'.

Great app

I used this app every day since 2014 until now every hours
And really need this future in next update ( if u can put pictures with any things u spend i think its amazing thing thank you

Serious underdog

This app has been a staple of my every day life for years now in keeping me financially out of the red in some real paycheck-to-paycheck college years. Very happy to see it receive the iOS 9 treatment. I've tried numerous apps of this type but the layout and options this provides for at-a-glance balancing and quick type-specific transaction deductions/additions is both beautifully efficient in ways the others aren't. And it isn't account-linked so that you can manually go by individual receipt inputs which is always 100% accurate provided you keep up with it.

Best personal expense tracker available

I needed an app to simply track how much I spend and how much I make each month, broken down into categories. Everything is entered manually, which some people don't like, but I love having complete control over the expense categories. Other apps sometimes incorrectly classify expenses. I HIGHLY recommend this app if you're looking for a straightforward expense tracking app without bells and whistles.

Needs more, but easy to use

I found this app to be easy to use, and input data. The history and graphing functions are useful, but lack detail so that you cannot drill down, or change the data inputs. An example; I tried to update my income, and it changed all the past months income to the same number. Transactions are stored, but not income. Would like to have more categories, and updates to easier views of budget.

Great! Would love to see more features

This is an excellent app! Love how polished it is.

Devs: Would really like to see the ability to choose a payment type for each transaction (e.g. credit card vs cash) with some customization options. Also really wish we could import transactions from CSV.

An all around great app though regardless.

Perfect!

For the past four years I've been keeping receipts and itemizing them at the end of every month to keep track of my expenses… I would find that life would get in the way and would be months behind. But with this it does exactly what I did before on Excel but only I can do it between the checkout counter and my car. And the website backup (MyMoneyBook) feature where you can see it better and more clear is awesome.

Great, here's an idea.

The App needs a debt tracker. I buy things with my credit card but I do not necessarily want it to subtract from my 'gas tank' at the moment until I pay my bill later. At the same time I wish to still note it down. The app would benefit from a debt tracker that doesn't subtract from the budget but allows the user to keep track of debt purchases.

Could be great...

This app has a great UI and polish but is lacking a few fundamental pieces that would make it great. As others have stated, the simple ability to add accounts and current balances rather than only monthly incomes would make this app much better. Also, the app rounds amounts to the dollar which doesn't make a ton of sense (pun acknowledged). I really hope the developer(s) will address these few flaws and make their app one of the best finance apps in the AppStore

Just what I was looking for!

If you're looking for an app to show you your monthly spending and/or to keep a buget, this one is for you. It is very simple and easy to use.
I was looking for an app that would help me keep track of what I spend on a monthly bases, and this is the one for me.
I hope this helps!

Inept Rollover Function, Poor Help, Obtuse Interface

I've worked hard to learn and adjust to this obtuse interface and got everything working EXCEPT the Rollover function. It is run only once, at the start of a new month, and is NOT adjustable as you change a past month's transactions. Therefore, it is actually an impediment to allowing this app to work within a realistic world. I have had to turn OFF the function and perform the rollover myself every time I alter a past month. This is annoying and KILLS the app's usability for realistic purposes. Meanwhile, the in-app Help is awful, amounting to only a limited FAQ. I am extremely disappointed. Seeing as other similar apps are also awful, I am forced to design my own financial database using one of the iOS database apps.

I LOVE THIS APP! YES!

This app is fresh. I love it. Totally simple. Perfect. I hate the other money apps that go overboard. This let's me track my finances. I accidentally deleted in my sleep but it has a one - touch backup. Easy like cake!

Beautiful to look at. Recurring and monthly role over. Let's u input starting salary. See where ur money goes

Fresh. Lol. Thanks Developers. Get LISTBOOK by same developers 5 strs too!

I love it!

It's simplicity is refreshing. It keeps enough information to let me know where my money is going, yet not so complex that it becomes cumbersome and I abandon it. I've been using it for almost a year now. Being able to export my data to a spread sheet, and go in and correct previous months are big pluses. One small suggestion: could you option reoccurring transactions to occur on a day of the week (i.e. Thursdays)? Other than that, perfect!!!

Really basic

Really basic function, and I knew that, but it still needs a bit more function IMO. Somehow I thought you could view spending totals by category and you can't, it just shows you the top 3. If they would just add that one feature it would be a lot more useful. A graph of spending by category would be even better.

Yeah it's pretty but don't expect a lot. It's basically a fancy calculator that just keeps subtracting (or adding) to your account balance, and that's *all* it does.

Needs subcategories

Love this app!!!! Please bring some advanced mode where users can add subcategories. I know you're trying to keep it simple for the non-tech users, but an advanced mode would be awesome. So many people begging for subcategories. You should really listen to users

Good, but limited.

This app should be $.99 in terms of function, but you are paying $2.99 for the style.

The app is fast and easy to navigate and the dev's responded promptly and friendly to my questions. If all you need to do is track expenses from an account total in a very general sense, then this is a great app for you. The app allows you to input your "salary" (income / monetary starting point), and then input your expenses that deduct from that salary/income ... and that's about it.

This app allows you to add custom "categories" but you cannot add custom "vendors" within any category. So, you can track that you spent $100 on "Food" but you cannot track where (Starbucks, Panera, Olive Garden) you spent that $100. You can set up "Starbucks" or "Panera" as a custom "category" so you can track how much you spent at these specific places, but then your overall "Food" expense total is off, and you have to manually add the totals together to determine your true "Food" expense, which means this isn't a complete solution for expense tracking.

Overall, the app has a very stylish/polished look, but very basic function. If all you need is to track expenses in a very general way, this app is for you. If you need any kind of detail in your expense tracking, buy "Moneywell" over this app.
