Not nice design
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your candid feedback and, above all, for your long-standing use of MoneyControl. I can well understand that the new design may initially seem confusing or disappointing. Especially when you’ve been using an app for such a long time, a major change can quickly feel wrong. At the same time, I’d like to point out frankly that MoneyControl has been continuously developed over the years and has received numerous free updates. A very harsh review based solely on a design change directly harms the app – and, consequently, the very further development from which all users benefit in the long term. The app was originally launched on iOS 3. If it still looked the same today as it did back then, it would not be fit for the future, either technically or in terms of design. Change is therefore necessary to keep the app stable and usable in the years to come. Do you have any specific suggestions as to where the app is now less user-friendly? Such feedback is important and is taken seriously. I would be grateful if you could reconsider your rating. Criticism is entirely legitimate – but treating one another fairly helps more than a very harsh rating. Thank you very much for your long-standing trust. Our support team is always happy to receive specific suggestions and feedback: info@primoco.me
Very good

Bon choix
Excellent application
Indispensable
Le nouveau design m’a d’abord surprise, mais je suis finalement très satisfaite car l’évolution va clairement dans le bon sens.
Suite à cette nouvelle version, j’ai contacté l’équipe car une fonctionnalité (le nombre de jours restants) avait disparu. Leur réponse a été très rapide et surtout très professionnelle. Ils ont été à l’écoute, bienveillants et réellement prêts à étudier les remarques, ce qui est suffisamment rare pour être souligné.
Je repars donc sans hésiter pour plusieurs années avec cette nouvelle version.
Tired of waiting for a transaction to clear so you know your balance?
Updated design but no new features in years
When can we expect some new features?
Update based on developer response:
Many thanks for the response to my review.
The update even removed various valuable features (eg. the expense shortcut feature on the main page, ability to reorder bank accounts by drag/dropping, maybe others?).
I am glad to see that there is still an option to revert to the old design.
Some features/updates that would be useful include:
- FX support (accounts in different currencies, automatic conversion of FX)
- connection to bank accounts for easier import of transactions and checking of balances
- fixing the bugs that's can lead to monthly recurring transactions slipping into new months if scheduled on the 31. of a month

Update: We can only respond to reviews with very limited text and long delays. Please contact us directly for a detailed solution: info@primoco.me --- Which features exactly are you missing? It's true that we are sparing with new features, because after 15 years, the app is simply already "pretty complete". Of course, we could add new features every week. But which ones? And what for? Soon, the app would have so many features that none of them would be usable anymore. That wouldn't be in your interest either, would it? In addition, the update naturally includes a whole range of improvements and new features: - Recent bookings on the home page - "Current expenses" evaluation - "Total expenses" evaluation - Copying entries - Siri shortcuts - Advanced sharing features - Improved backup - ... Please let us know what exactly you are still missing. Our support team is always happy to receive suggestions: info@primoco.me It is really not necessary to punish the app for 15 years of free (!) further development with a poor rating.
Don’t like the new look
Response from developer
We fully understand that a design change can feel unfamiliar at first, especially with an app you’ve been using for many years. Design is always a matter of personal taste, which makes your feedback — including critical comments — particularly valuable to us. We take this feedback very seriously and actively incorporate it into further development. That said, is it really reasonable to punish the app with a lower rating simply because it continues to evolve? If the app had not changed at all, would it still deserve a full 5-star rating today? That doesn’t seem entirely fair. If the app still looked the way it did in 2011 with version 1 on iOS 3, it likely wouldn’t be in use anymore 🤓 App Store ratings have a direct impact on how easily the app can be found. Poor ratings therefore harm the app significantly. Instead of “punishing with stars,” we much prefer to invite users to actively participate in the development by sharing feedback and helping shape the app’s future. Please feel free to contact our support team at info@primoco.me and let us know what we can improve in concrete terms. We’d be happy to listen.
Decimal is not working
- Update: There was a setting issue in my app. Customer care representative informed me on the step and worked fine. Thanks a lot team for your support. I have been using your app from past 6+ years. Thanks for all the great work you do to make customer happy
Response from developer
thank you for your feedback. Decimal input is supported in MoneyControl and works as expected. In Extras / Settings / Numpad you can switch between classic and automatic entry mode, which affects how decimal separators are shown. We already contacted you by email with these details. If this resolved the issue, we kindly ask you to update or correct your App Store rating, as the current rating does not reflect the actual functionality of the app.
Von Excel zu MoneyControl
Was mich aber fast noch mehr freut als die App, ist der Support. Habe Herrn Dörhöfer ein paar Sachen geschrieben, Feedback gegeben und Fragen gehabt. Habe immer sehr schnell eine Rückmeldung bekommen bzw. wurde auf sehr clevere Alternativen hingewiesen. Man merkt, dass hier an der App wirklich gearbeitet wird und Leute diese verbessern wollen und dass einem Feedback wichtig ist. Nur so wird die App immer besser und erreicht mehr Leute. Großartig! War eine richtige Entscheidung!
Incontournable
Only Monthly
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! You are right that the app’s Overview page focuses on a monthly budget — that’s by design, as it’s meant to give a quick snapshot of how much money is left to spend in the current month. That said, the app also lets you set up custom budgets with any period length you prefer, including daily, weekly, or fortnightly.
I can use easily
Used for 10 years.
Response from developer
It's always very motivating to hear that users have been using the app so happily for so long. Thank you very much for the feedback and good luck with the app!
