Is it possible to change the balance font color from yellow to a different color? I have vision challenges and it’s hard to see. If I can’t, can you change it in your end? ### 3/5 — Does not allow decimals *2021-03-20, version 2.3.2* I love the app and how simple it is. However, it does not allow decimals so the math of my income and expenses is not accurate. If they change this I would definitely stick with the app but for now I’m going to look for one that fits the need of accuracy. ### 4/5 — Simple But Helpful *2020-06-23, version 2.3.2* Love the app. Very Simple But Helpful Application.. Please change/update the icon(Very poor, Not Standard) ### 3/5 — FONT IS TOO THIN & LIGHT *2019-12-18, version 2.3.2* It’s actually a very good simple app, but the Font needs to be more BOLD and DARKER. The light and faint FONT is VERY ANNOYING. When dealing with dollar amounts and bookkeeping, I WANT PRINT THAT IS DARK AND EASY TO READ. ### 4/5 — Simple App *2019-10-23, version 2.3.2* Super simple app! You add income, add expenses and it tells you what you save. Many of the other apps are complicated or require a subscription. Only thing I would suggest for them is to add maybe a calculator that you can enter “x amount of hours at x amount of pay” and it tell you how much you’ll take home versus eyeballing it and unsure exactly. Overall, easy and great app! ### 4/5 — Simple monthly budgeting *2016-11-04, version 2.3* If you don't want anything complex, this is a neat little app.. ### 4/5 — Good but it can be better! *2016-06-06, version 2.3* I like the application and only one thing that I want in the application is: Pending!! All the people have pending and is a good choose for add! ### 3/5 — Slick but not quite there yet *2016-03-07, version 2.3* The main things you do in this app for some reason is needlessly complicated. Entering the description then the amount should have a button to advance fields (i.e. a next button) and not require you to click done then tap the other field and then hit done again. Categories would be very useful. Another app, BUDGT, gets these all right, and had CSV export. ### 4/5 — Good app, but not a YNAB replacement yet *2016-02-17, version 2.3* I'm looking for a replacement for YNAB (You Need a Budget) which has gone to a subscription model that I hate. This is a nice app and it easily tracks your monthly spending. But it doesn't have the multiple account and reconciliation features that I need. ### 3/5 — Not bad but... *2016-01-30, version 2.3* It's got a decent ui. But it only allows whole numbers. If I spend $45.02. I can only input $45. A fix would make it at least 4 stars. ### 4/5 — Basic but a good starting point *2016-01-20, version 2.2* This app is a pretty good very basic tool if you just want to see where most of your money is going each month. One little suggestion for something that would be very helpful would be if it actually did the math for you and the total amount heading to savings changed if you saved money or lost money each month. ### 3/5 — Nice app. Needs sharing capabilities *2015-10-05, version 2.2* This is a very nice and very easy to use monthly budgeting app. My only complaint and reason for not using it was because I could not share the budget with my wife on her phone. We both pay bills and go food shopping. But yet we both can't simply subtract from the same total. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not Accessible with VoiceOver *2020-02-29, version 2.3.2* Can you work on making this app accessible for VoiceOver users? ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2016-06-12, version 2.3* Rubbish! Runs on swipe commands and it takes ages to register that you have swiped! Don't waste your time and money! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-03-31, version 2.3* Purchased this app less than 5 minutes ago and want a refund. The pictures and detail of the app give it more credit than it deserves. Does not allow you to add cents or break up paychecks. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Lacks versatility and usefulness *2016-02-20, version 2.3* This app comes with no settings and minimal, incomplete instructions that appear ones and can never be accessed again. The support link online takes you to a Twitter account, and if you are not a Twitter user you are out of luck. If there is any other information on how to use this app online, I was unable to find it. I can't believe this is an app that I paid for. I really hoped that this one would live up to its promise, but I'm afraid I found it utterly useless. ### 1/5 — Bad *2016-02-04, version 2.3* Horrible! ### 1/5 — App good. Daily request for a review is utterly dreary. *2016-01-27, version 2.3* App good. Daily request for a review is utterly dreary. ### 1/5 — No help! Website no help! No iCloud and user data sharing *2016-01-27, version 2.3* I can't figure out how to get help, ask questions, don't know if the product can be used by my spouse to enter spending as well. We need this product to work for both of us simultaneously and see real time data by the other. Where can I find help on the product. I feel I wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Has potential... *2016-01-21, version 2.3* This app is definitely on to something. It has a very enticing workflow that promises quick data capture and it definitely is streamlined. It takes a little bit to understand and grasp the workflow and more could be done to explain how to make it work. But the big draw back is its no decimal place. Whole dollars or units is just not very useful for most of us. I'm sure it will be a function to be added and soon I hope. But until. It is added this app is over priced for its simplicity or lack of function. Apparently it supports syncing but as yet I haven't worked out how but I've only been using it for a few hours. This developer appears to be committed to this app fortunately. So if more of the basic functions are added it will be worth its asking price. It has good potential as I said. Just a little moe clarity on how to use it do get it to do what you want or need will help immensely. I've not written it off and will be watching with anticipation to get the balance of function and usability evened up. 8-) ### 1/5 — Not really useful *2015-05-18, version 2.1* I'm not sure what this app actually is. The user interface isn't intuitive - all it does is add up your input and subtract from the amount you indicate is income. Nothing else. Not worth the price of the app in my opinion. ### 1/5 — Niby fajny a jednak nie.. *2014-10-28, version 2.0.2* Sam program ok.. Ale po trzeciej utracie danych podziękuję... Ileż można! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SIMPLE, USER FRIENDLY APP *2021-01-11, version 2.3.2* I am older and APPRECIATE this app so much! To the developer /creator... could you PLEASE enhance one thing? The print is light, and it is hard on people with visual challenges. Everyone I have shared the app with says the exact same things. “I can’t see what I typed!” Then... it would be PERFECT for us! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-01-07, version 2.3.2* Just what a need. No more, no less ### 5/5 — i wish i should’ve known this app sooner! *2020-06-07, version 2.3.2* ok ok so its simple and yes its might not be able to do cents like it cannot do $0.00 but only $0, unless that can be updated? idk but it doesn’t really bother me cos if its $53.44 then i would just put $54, i got no problem with that honestly! i love how simple it is, it really helped, i can see everything so clearly, add anything to each month and if i know that’s something that will recur then i would make it recurring easy as that! each month its separeted with what you have and what you will spend! you just scroll it down and add anything, u put in what it is and how much honestly its so easy to quickly summarize my budget each month! cos if theres smth unexpected that comes up i can just add that quickly saves time and easy to see everything and add anything love it! ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2017-06-13, version 2.3* Yes, basic... but it's really all you need to stay on track. It's a perfect app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-05-26, version 2.3* Helps keep track of monthly expenses. With apple it syncs great with all my devices. Shoes how much you should have at the end of every month. K. ### 5/5 — High five budget *2016-03-27, version 2.3* So far so good. I'll see how it goes when I roll over to next month. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2016-02-18, version 2.3* Sencilla y útil, la recomiendo ampliamente ### 5/5 — Works well *2016-02-16, version 2.3* Everybody wishes to keep control on his/her pocket by making a budget plan. Its good idea to track the expense sheet by using this app. Very useful and helpful app. this save my day ### 5/5 — Saved my (financial) life *2016-02-13, version 2.3* It feels like I got a raise because my money doesn't disappear by itself. I track everything and I found I have more at the end of the month. ### 5/5 — I really like this app. *2015-09-26, version 2.2* This app is simple and effective, though I do have some minor things I would like to see in a future version. For example, if I allot $100 for gas a month, and have only spent $50, I’d like it to be that the money that isn’t spent is automatically displayed as part of the “to savings” balance, or as another balance in that general area. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
