### 4/5 — Traduction en français

*2025-11-11*

Bonjour,
L’application est super, et super utile. Je pense prendre l’abonnement une fois que lapp sera en français. Car c’est un vrai problème, le marché français serai ravis d’avoir de tel outils.
Merci

### 3/5 — Miss the 3 financial buckets page!

*2024-02-12, version 3.3.2*

Please bring back the 3 buckets page!! It helped with my ADHD to visualize my finances in the 3 rectangular stacked bars and I wish I had the option to access it.

### 4/5 — Super quick and convenient

*2024-01-31, version 3.3.2*

app is perfect for tracking every expense without needing to link bank accounts. I simply turn on notifications from my banking apps to notify me about every transaction, and whenever I swipe my card or do any other transaction I get a bank notification. Putting that info in this app takes seconds. 

Removed one star only because I don’t understand how the insights section works, I don’t see what budget it’s using for its calculations since I didn’t specify a budget

### 3/5 — Is the app abandoned?

*2023-10-18, version 3.3*

Not sure if the developer will see this. Wondering if the app is abandoned as it is very slow and glitchy on iOS 17.

### 3/5 — BUG NEED FIX

*2023-10-17, version 3.3*

I can’t edit my budget for each week

### 2/5 — Zero not showing on iPhone SE 2022

*2023-10-14, version 3.3*

Already contacted the support but no answer whatsoever. App is barely usable for 4 months.

### 3/5 — Almost great

*2023-09-07, version 3.3*

Needs to have a widget that allows you to quickly enter an expense. Also would be nice to have a widget with insights for daily and weekly spend, and to compare those values to a daily and weekly budget. Otherwise it does what it says and works well.

### 5/5 — Fast and Easy

*2023-08-03, version 3.3*

The layout is so simple to use, it has quickly transformed my budgeting habits. After a couple weeks of logging my spending habits, the (low-cost) premium features seem like a no brainer.

### 5/5 — Perfect Simple Budget Tracker

*2023-07-26, version 3.3*

Been using the app pretty much since it came out, and it’s perfect for my needs. Super easy to input expenditures and income, and the simple charts and grouping are super intuitive and extremely useful for getting a sense of your finances at a glance. Developer is also pretty active and consistently makes the app better.

### 4/5 — Brilliant but buggy

*2023-07-19*

I’ve been using Nudget for over a year, and it’s always worked great. But recently, i’ve noticed a huge load of bugs, including not being able to delete expenses, and a whole lot of lag. Don’t get me wrong, this is one of the best finance trackers. We just need an update to handle all the new bugs in the app.

### 5/5 — Loving the app

*2023-05-21, version 3.3*

Hi there, the app is amazing, just one quick question, if I go over budget on the previous week, would that be taken on the current weeks available budget?

### 3/5 — Bi-weekly?

*2023-05-06, version 3.3*

Where is bi-weekly? Only see weekly and monthly.

### 5/5 — Best app on my phone in the last 2 years!

*2023-05-03*

Please keep giving love to it

### 5/5 — Great app - 5 stars for sure

*2023-04-22, version 3.3*

Really useful app. Best budget app in my option. 
One suggestion if I may - add a pie chart laying out spending categories and break down of percentage split. Like with the bar graph. Thanks for the great app!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-12-31, version 3.3.2*

Love this app. Now it is crashing and unusable, even after I delete and reinstall. :(

### 1/5 — Has become unreliable and difficult to use

*2024-02-08, version 3.3.2*

Setting or changing a budget is a headache without the budget tab. Now, adding expenses, seeing them in history, it's all so laggy. Half the time I enter something it doesn't even show up anymore. It's a shame, this was once the best way to budget on iOS. Perhaps it can't handle a long history, many recurring expenses, or multiple tags. But the UI and animations lag extensively and without the budget tab, adding recurring expenses and income has become a chore. 

The old app was simple, exactly what people wanted. We got more animations and fewer features, and it's just not worth it to try to use it anymore.

### 1/5 — stuck on syncing with icloud screen

*2024-01-31, version 3.3.2*

yep. just as the title says. maybe i’m just too impatient but it just says it’s syncing with icloud? and it won’t let me get to the actual app lol

### 1/5 — App recently is very laggy

*2023-10-26, version 3.3*

There has not been an update for about 11 months and it shows. Really loved the app before and bought premium. Now no new updates. Result: app is very laggy and feels slow and unresponsive. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — Abandoned by dev

*2023-10-11, version 3.3*

Was good when it was supported.

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2023-08-13, version 3.3*

This app was great while it worked, but I run into all kinds of bugs any time I attempt to re-use it. I reached out to support to get these addressed last year, but never heard back. 

Hope it eventually gets back in shape, but in the meantime, I'd recommend finding something else; this app just doesn't reliably work.

### 1/5 — App does not work on Small Screens

*2023-02-13, version 3.3*

This app does not work on small screens, - even after 3.1.1 - namely the current iPhone SE running the current app version 3.3. 

The keypad to input transactions is clipped by the bottom tab bar preventing the most basic functionality of this app, tracking spending.

Save your money if you have a smaller device.

To the developer, 
please read below

3.1.1 did NOT solve this issue. 
It is the cause of this issue, and is still unresolved

Prior to this version (3.1.1) the app was usable, but visually “janky” on the iPhone SE as the bottom row of the keypad (backspace, 0 and submit) buttons were only *partially* clipped but still interactable.

After the 3.1.1 update, and in all subsequent versions (including the current 3.3 version), the bottom row of the keypad is completely obscured by the navigation tabs.

I’ve sent 2 or 3 emails now to the developer email indicated in previous reviews, and it’s a bit frustrating to get back no response aside from “This was fixed in 3.1.1, email me”.

I have, I cannot contact you and this app does not work for me and the small minority of users with smaller screen sizes. 

I’m not sure what else I can do beside leave a negative review as a cautionary tale.

**Developer response:** Hi there, really sorry for the issue you were encountering. I believe this should be fixed in 3.1.1. Please reach out if you have any other issues at sawyer@nudgetapp.com :)

### 1/5 — Can’t edit budget

*2023-01-27, version 3.3*

Can’t edit your budget after you set it. And if you can instructions are very unclear. Frustrating to use.

### 1/5 — Budget Tab

*2023-01-11, version 3.3*

Please bring back the Budget Tab. It was my favorite part of the app. History tab does not do it justice. If you want to change the direction of the app, that’s fine. However, it would be nice to have a “classic” option, either in settings or as a separate app.

### 1/5 — Subscription hits another app

*2022-12-17, version 3.3*

It was a great app when it was a “buy it once” deal, but now basic features such as unlimited Tags are now behind a subscription fee when it was freely available when you first bought the app. Disappointing move from the developers, but business is business.

### 5/5 — Very useful !

*2025-10-22*

Hello, I use your app with pro mode for the past year and I really enjoy it !
A small additional feature could improve the experience. If we could « fold » periods like weeks, months, etc. in the history page, it would be easier to find a specific expense a year ago. I want to use your app for the next few years and periods folded like files could bring more organization in my numerous upcoming data.
Thank you !

### 5/5 — super gut  liebs

*2025-01-22, version 3.3.2*

nur ne fkt für die applewatch wäre noch schöner.🥹

### 5/5 — Best in class

*2024-09-16, version 3.3.2*

Easy to use, supports widgets and shortcuts… I just wish it supported the following: Interactive widgets to add expenses based on the tag used, shortcuts improvement (I can’t add an expense from a shortcut if I have an income tag with the same name), better insights/trends, an easier way to change dates that don’t require so many taps, and maybe some new lockscreen/control center action buttons.
I recommend this to everyone!

### 5/5 — Beautiful and functional

*2024-09-14*

It’s an awesome app. It not only looks and feels great, but It’s the fastest to add transactions and categorize them. 

The insights section is interesting, but I would love to see some simple charts to understand better my spending. 

A future improvement that could be interesting is to have the budget for the day/week/month dynamically update based on how much you spent the previous days. 

Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Excellent Privacy Policy

*2024-02-17, version 3.3.2*

Great app with a good UI for the most part, though the privacy policy is excellent and worth it for that alone!

### 5/5 — The Perfect Review App (Updated)

*2024-01-11, version 3.3.2*

Previously I’d left a 1 star review because my numerous attempts to report a bug on small screens which left me unable to use the app seemingly went answered. It’s since been fixed as of writing. It turns out the developer was just going through a very rough patch. I’m glad you’re back and thank you.

### 5/5 — Einfach, Indie, Schön

*2023-11-19, version 3.3*

Super App. Sehr schönes UI. 
Ich mag dass es keine unnötigen AI features etc. gibt. Das ermöglicht einem Indie Developer, dass er eine gute App für bezahlbares Geld macht und ich nicht Angst  haben muss, dass er bei jeder Gelegenheit meine Daten kommerzialisieren muss um genug zu verdienen.

### 5/5 — Really enjoy the simplicity

*2023-11-13, version 3.3*

I love how easy it is to use! It’s really helped me keep an idea on what I’m spending my money on and I’ve already saved a lot in just the few weeks. I pay attention to this app instead of my bank account. I’ve even seen a difference in my priorities on spending already.

### 5/5 — Minimal and functional.

*2023-11-10*

Perfect for recording daily transactions. There’s not a lot of analytics here but to me that’s the point, it’s simple to the point expense tracker that looks pretty.

### 5/5 — Bliss!

*2023-08-09, version 3.3*

I love this app! Clear UI, simple user flows, seamless functionality, data privacy, and well-conceived customizability - even let‘s you choose an icon. All of these attributes now translate into my relationship with money! Thank you so much for upgrading my life 🙏💜
