### 5/5 — Super useful app

*2026-02-05*

Loads of good information, would defo recommend!

### 4/5 — This is awesome.

*2026-02-02*

I recently stumbled across this app and have to say, it’s very helpful. The navigation really makes it easy to find what I’m looking for, and what aspects I need to pinpoint. Its presentation is smooth as you browse the information provided on all areas in government spending and where our taxes are going. It’s the serious stuff made easy and simple! A great app!

### 5/5 — Wow what an incredible app!

*2026-02-02*

I downloaded Open Treasury out of curiosity and ended up spending way more time in it than I expected. It explains how the government raises and spends money in a way that actually makes sense, without assuming you already know how budgets or deficits work. The visuals really help, and being able to tap into things to see more detail makes it feel approachable and not overwhelming.

What I like most is that it doesn’t feel pushy or political, it just lays the information out clearly and lets you explore at your own pace. I’ve already used it a few times to check things I’ve seen in the news, and the tax breakdown is genuinely eye-opening. If you’ve ever wondered where your tax actually goes, this is a really solid app to have.

### 5/5 — Important Information

*2026-01-26*

Extremely useful and important information made incredibly easy to digest and dare I say even fun to read. The budgeting and cost of living features are great also. Very intuitive to use and looks great. Very slick. Loving the heat map and the spotlight series. Will absolutely be subscribing to this.

### 5/5 — Very informative app

*2026-01-26*

Easy to use/navigate around, well set out. Seamless functionality

### 5/5 — Packed full of fascinating data

*2026-01-25*

Brilliant app with so much to explore. Was wondering how much the government actually spends on foreign aid, and the size of the defence budget vs the education budget vs pensions etc, where my tax goes basically, and this app has everything. It’s all clearly laid out in easy to read graphs and charts. Will be spending more time diving into this one. Highly recommend.
