### 4/5 — Tracks Daily expenses well

*2022-10-10, version 4.8.2*

Often simple is all we need.

### 3/5 — Perfect, but need Apple Watch version

*2021-11-07, version 4.8.2*

It is all about ease of use and quick entry. That is why Apple Watch version is highly needed.

For those who needs track complex transactions ( divided on multiple categories) or have many accounts etc. This app ain't for them

### 1/5 — App has a bug

*2020-12-05*

I like the app and use it a lot. However, if I’m using the app but then switch to another such as a bank, when I come back the view shifts to half way down the screen. I then have to close and restart the app. I’ve sent a few emails to give feedback to the developers, but there’s been no response. It’s disappointing for a paid for app.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2020-11-05*

I’ve been using this app for a while now but since iOS 14 I get a blank screen from the top of the app.
Not sure if this is a bug anymore else has gotten.
Otherwise love the app.

### 3/5 — Moneybook isa better app than this one

*2020-10-31, version 4.8.1*

I have been an user of moneybook for many years until now but because of the impossibility of download data to my computer I decided to try with next. It is a good app but I still think moneybook is a lot better.

### 5/5 — Great budget app

*2019-11-01, version 4.8*

Apps come and go, but this one has stayed with me for yours.

**Developer response:** Very cool to hear, thank you!

### 5/5 — The simplest and the best

*2019-10-10, version 4.8*

Truly the best app for expense logging. It’s as simple as it gets and so as fast as it can be. It’s not an app for tracking your balances, you can use mint for that, this one is specifically for tracking where you money go to and keeping yourself on track.

P.S. Also, on iPhone 11 pro with iOS 13.1 there’s a minor bug when sometimes top 1/3 of the screen gets empty, could you please check it? It’s not a problem as simple reopening app helps right away, but still.

### 5/5 — Very near perfect now.

*2019-08-29*

After a few dicey moments with bugs and reliability a year or so ago it now seems ALMOST totally reliable. The only slight issue remains the big it's had for YEARS whereby editing a pre-entered recurring expense will almost always completely mess up the entry, usually requiring 4 or 5 attempts at re-edit before it'll save the description and amount you want instead of seemingly randomised values. Other than that though, and after a sobering experience with simply APPALLING issues with speed, reliability and total inability to sync with its rival "Pennies" I've had for over 18 months now, I think a bump up to 5 stars is in order.

### 1/5 — Number of categories

*2019-07-17, version 4.7.1*

How do I edit the number of categories? I just use 10, but I can’t find a way to delete the unnecessary ones. Thanks.

### 3/5 — Icons also need titles

*2019-04-07, version 4.7.1*

Found some of the icons confusing.  Would have liked a category name to also display either when I selected the icon to enter an expense or display when I swiped left to the transactions list page..
