NEW FEATURES:

2. GPS YOUR EXPENSES - pin your expenses to places so that at the end of the month you know exactly where you've spent every penny

THINGS THAT DIDN'T CHANGE:
There is a whole money-saving method behind monthly 3. It goes like this:

IMPROVISING - NO. PLANNING - BRAVO!
At the beginning of the month enter all your income and planned expenses. The income - expenses = how much you transfer to your Savings Account. Transfer this money to you future self and meet in a month. She will have the money.

SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING
As the month progresses, you'll see how much of your planned budget you've already spent. You won't have to compare numbers, though, we've designed it as a simple progress bar. Just make sure the progress bar doesn't pass the Today Marker. See? Your budget is doing great!

ENJOY SPENDING MONEY!
If you have a monthly budget, you know exactly how much you have to spend on what. That means you won't regret buying that awesome thing. It was in the budget. While enjoying, you won't overspend. Well, the first month you might overspend. Just make sure you adjust your budget for the next month!

No, wait, your budget will adjust automatically. We thought of it.

### 5/5 — Needs Budget Duplicator (or recurrence)

*2020-06-19*

I needed a really simple budget tracker and this is closest to what I wanted in terms of simplicity and functionality, but this *needs* the ability to duplicate (or mark recurring) a monthly budget instead of needing to re-make it each time. Would be 5 stars for my needs if it only had this one feature.

*Update*: Thanks to the developer for reaching out and explaining how to make items recurring — this is now *exactly* what I need! I really appreciate the developer support and explaining what was really a user (me) issue. Cheers and thanks again for a simple budget and expense tracking app!

**Developer response:** Hey, no problem!

Just swipe any cell slightly to the left and release it after the round recurrence icon blinks and you hear the sound - it will become recurrent, ez :) Do it again to disable the recurrence. 

If you see a tiny blue bar to the very right of an item in your budget - it's marked recurrent.

A small tip: if you change the amount in a recurring item, the app will mark all the past instances of it non-recurrent (since supposedly you can't change the past), and will adjust the amount in the present and all future months.

And hey, thank you so much for your kind words, I love that monthly is just what you need :) Hope now you'll be able to enjoy it even more.

P.S. Don't forget that double-tap on an expense item shows you the full history of spending on it!

### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-01-22*

Basic tracker that helps you budget your month but it doesn’t allow you to setup recurring expenses and doesn’t allow you to copy expenses to the next month. You have to manually add each expenses/income every month. Which stinks.

**Developer response:** Hey, it's not entirely true ;)

Just swipe any cell slightly to the left and release it after the round recurrence icon blinks and you hear the sound - it will become recurrent, ez :) Do it again to disable the recurrence.

Best, thank you for using monthly 3!
