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. ### 5/5 — Used for 10 years. *2025-01-31* Now in 2025 and using since 2015. Excellent and stable app. Highly recommended. **Developer response:** 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! ### 5/5 — Celso Junto *2025-01-04, version 9.0.201* One of the best and more complete app for money control. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-12-16* Great functionality and design. The shortcuts are a good time saver for frequently entered items that aren't on a regular schedule. Reports look good and search functionality is comprehensive. Team is quick to respond to any questions. ### 5/5 — Simple et efficace *2024-11-29* Fonctionne parfaitement avec une Interface agréable ### 4/5 — Très belle application *2024-10-01* Le petit plus serait de pouvoir personnaliser l’apparence, à l’instar d’autres applications de gestion de compte. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-08-08* Application complète pour aider à gérer ses finances que j’utilise tout les jours plus que nécessaire mon goût un indispensable! Par contre juste revoir les options d’ergonomies inter comptes. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-07-12* I have been using this app for the last over 10 years. This app is designed in the best ever thought manner. Ashwani Jaura ### 5/5 — Easy and actually fun! *2024-06-27* This app is so easy to use. I’m working on a retirement budget so before I retire, I’m entering every penny I spend (and putting that in an easy to apply category). After retirement I plan to enter all of my bills and recurring expenses. Get it! You’ll love it!! ### 5/5 — Perfect for account *2024-05-07* Iam using past 5 years it's perfect and nice account book and to Improve only in sperate debit and credit like tally ### 5/5 — Übersichtlich mit durchdachten Funktionen *2024-04-18* Bin sehr zufrieden mit der App. Sehr gut die vorgegebenen Kategorien mit Firmenlogo wie z.b. Aldi, Dm, Kaufland usw., so sieht man gleich wo das Geld hingegangen ist. Man kann auch den Kategorien noch Notizen hinzufügen, was man eingekauft hat. Außer den Firmenkategorien gibt es natürlich Kategorien ohne Firmenlogo von Auto, Tanken, Bäckerei, Lebensmittel bis Handy, Computer und alles was es halt im Alltag so gibt. Zudem kann man pdf Berichte erstellen und auch ausdrucken (z.B. am Monatsende), in denen die Summe der einzelnen Kategorien zusammengefasst sind. Dies gibt den perfekten Überblick über seine Ausgaben. Weiter kann man auch Visa, EC etc. den Ausgaben zuordnen. Gut ist auch, dass es einen einmaligen Preis (Preisleistungsverhältnis ist gut) für die Bezahlfunktion gibt, und kein Abo. Ein Abo würde ich nie kaufen. ### 5/5 — Money Control *2024-03-01* Since I put Money Control on my iPad & my iPhone it’s been wonderful. It gives me complete control of my outgoings & a description of each transaction. I love it. It’s brilliant! ### 5/5 — absolutely brilliant *2024-02-12* the best app I have used for budget and easy simple entries - detail as little or as much as you wish - super flexible ### 5/5 — So far so good *2024-01-18* Have been using this app for a few weeks now and it’s covering all my needs so far. I have bought the all-in-one as I don’t like subscribing to apps if I can avoid it. ### 5/5 — Wertvolle Unterstützung *2024-01-07* Ich nutze diese App jetzt seit ziemlich genau einem Jahr. Am zweiten Tag habe ich mir die Vollversion zugelegt und bin mit der App sehr zufrieden. Einnahmen und Ausgaben werden konsequent erfasst. Das erfordert eine gewisse Disziplin, ist aber für eine aussagefähige Analyse der Daten unerlässlich. Dass hierbei auch einmal Ergebnisse herauskommen können, die insbesondere der Regierung (= Ehefrau) nicht so sehr gefallen, liegt in der Natur der Sache 😉. Kategorien und Gruppen lassen sich einfach und schnell auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse einstellen. Shortcuts und wiederkehrende Buchungen sind hilfreiche und zeitsparende Unterstützungen bei der Datenerfassung. Budgets und Vertragsverwaltung runden das Paket sinnvoll ab. Dass das Programm keine automatische Übernahme des Kontoauszuges bietet, sehe ich nicht so sehr als Nachteil. Durch die tägliche Erfassung werden insbesondere die Ausgaben, die über die Bank laufen, sowieso dem Konto „Girokonto“ in MoneyControl zugeordnet, so dass am Monatsende eigentlich nur der Kontostand der Bank mit dem Kontostand in MoneyControl abzustimmen ist. Eventuelle Korrekturen lassen sich schnell und unkompliziert ausführen. Die Berichte bilden bei mir die Ausgangsbasis für alle weiteren Auswertungen (z. B. Vorjahresvergleiche), die ich dann im Weiteren mit Excel fahre. Bei den Berichten würde ich mir die Möglichkeit wünschen, bestimmte Berichte, die öfters gebraucht werden, in MoneyControl abspeichern zu können und mit einem Klick aufrufen zu können. Dies könnte man als Verbesserungsvorschlag für zukünftige Updates ins Auge fassen. Insgesamt bietet das Programm für Otto Normalverbraucher aber alle Möglichkeiten, seine Zahlungsströme zu überwachen und sinnvoll einzuordnen. Für das Geld, das das Programm kostet (die paar Euro für die Vollversion würde ich auf jeden Fall auch investieren) kommt von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung. ### 4/5 — Excellent App *2023-12-27, version 9.0.9* Easy to use Friendly Good fase, maybe need a actualize Good Widgets ### 4/5 — Great App! *2023-12-25* This is a great app and includes many features which make it very easy to use. Although there could be some points of improvement. Provision to show total income and expense at a glance to be included on the home page. The Income entries colour could be green in colour instead of black for them to stand out. Income and Expenses should be shown in separate columns in the PDF file so as to have a clearer idea. In the Income and Expense Report, a separate column should be included to show the account from which the money is spent or received. By adding these features, the app would be greatly improved and more convenient to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not nice design *2026-06-23* Unfortunately, the new interface is very confusing and no new features, very disappointed :( **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Updated design but no new features in years *2026-01-25* The update just introduced a new confusing layout with 0 new features. 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 **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — Don’t like the new look *2026-01-23* Really hard to get an overview. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — De actualizo en app y no permite pasar la información *2023-02-12, version 9.0.8* Mama app no pasa la información ### 1/5 — Purchased in 2015 it says i don’t exist *2022-04-14, version 9.0.5* I purchased all in one bundle oct21,2015 barely used it. Now im trying, pressed restore purchase and i don't exist in their platform ### 1/5 — Hi there *2020-07-04* I thought this app was supposed to work through your Mac computer and also iPhone it won’t let me synchronise regards David Mason English ### 1/5 — Worked great at first, and then... *2019-12-27, version 8.7.3* all my info disappeared. Gone. Kaput. I emailed them twice but heard nothing back and that was weeks ago. I paid for an upgrade too so although it’s not a great deal of money, it’s very disappointing that no one got back to me. ### 1/5 — In App Purchases Strike Again! *2019-09-25* A lovely little app that is rather useful for money control, ironically you are limited from using the app unless you pay a subscription-like cost per month. I thought this app was for controlling my own money, not greedy developers trying to take control of my money. Such a shame as it’s a great app, wasted by greed however. ### 1/5 — Update: (Read Bottom) *2018-08-03* Ok, I had written a great review previously... it’s still a great app - but more of a great >concept< than a great working app. It turns out that all of the features I previously highlighted don’t seem to actually work. I found this out today when I logged in and saw all my bills were double and my ‘balance showing’ was -$1000+ I’ve set my recurring bills/ expenses for 2 weekly and set start dates for them to start reoccurring from. Obviously this feature didn’t work and they’ve all come out today instead of next week. There’s also the problem that my recurring expenses have doubled - meaning there must be a bug 😩 If this app gets fixed and all the features start working the way they’re designed to, then I hope to be able to continue to use this app ☹️ Otherwise my 3 weeks long search continues... 😫😫😫 =UPDATE= So, the recurring expenses button doesn’t work at all. I tried the app support button and got “page not found”. So there’s no app support either. Meaning they don’t care. It’s just another useless app designed to make the creators money. I guess it’s a bit of a scam really. Really Disappointed I’ve been hunting forever for a budgeting app 😞 Ah well, the search continues... 😩😩 ### 1/5 — Poor app! *2017-12-19* Buggy app. The date section becomes unresponsive all day of a sudden! So you can’t change the date of entry, except for the default entry for the present date. It’s a glitch....sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. So poor quality control and app checks Worst of all, sent emails to the developers several times about this basic issue, but no response ever came!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-05-15* The app is superb. I had some trouble cos accident deleted the app …. Then I couldn’t recover all my entries after reinstalling. The back up was supposed to be in drop box. Maybe u could do something about it so it doesn’t repeat in the future. That would be wonderful for such a helpful app of yours ### 5/5 — Money control *2026-03-24* Five star quality enjoying every day ### 5/5 — Bon choix *2026-03-11* Très très satisfait de l’application. J’en ai essayé plusieurs et c’est la meilleure ! ### 5/5 — Excellent application *2026-03-11, version 10.0.15* No bugs ### 5/5 — Indispensable *2026-02-07* J’utilise MoneyControl depuis 2014 et j’ai beaucoup de mal à m’en passer. C’est une application fiable et réellement indispensable au quotidien. 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. ### 5/5 — Tired of waiting for a transaction to clear so you know your balance? *2026-02-01* This app makes everything easy. Once you get in the habit of inputting data it become super easy to manage. You can know at any time exactly how much money you have in all accounts all while seeing where your money is flowing. Getting reports is also an easy thing with the app. ### 5/5 — Decimal is not working *2026-01-22* Latest version of the app doesn’t support decimal numbers. Right now “.” Is not showing up in the numbers - 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 **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Von Excel zu MoneyControl *2026-01-14* Eine sehr schöne App mit Liebe zum Detail. Ich habe viele Jahre Excel benutzt. Leider ist die Hemmschwelle dann doch etwas höher um seine Sachen regelmäßig einzutragen. Ich hab mich dazu entschieden, mir eine App zu holen. Habe lange gesucht... die App ist übersichtlich und einfach aufgebaut. Was mir sehr gut gefällt ist, dass die Daten hier sicher sind. Es gibt Möglichkeiten für lokale Back-ups aber auch für eine iCloud Synchronisation. Auf dem Mac funktioniert es dann auch. 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! ### 5/5 — Incontournable *2025-12-04* C’est de loin la meilleur applis sur le store de gestion de son argent je l’utilise depuis des années. C’est la seule application qui fonctionne parfaitement bien et lisible ### 5/5 — I can use easily *2025-06-24, version 9.0.209* Its really useful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
