What's New in OpenBudget

1.4.3

February 6, 2022

In this release: Fixed: - App was unresponsive while syncing, all that is now done in the background. - Moving the cursor in a currency field and then editing would move the cursor incorrectly after each edit. - App would suddenly come to a screeching hault, those problems are now fixed. - Fixed a bug that would re-download all of a user's data each time the app was opened. - Search bars, and some other text inputs, didn't appear the correct color in dark mode - When splitting a transaction, sometimes using the "Split Evenly" would give you a few cents extra. - Using the "Split Evenly" button when splitting transactions doesn't automatically save the transaction. We've also slightly redesigned the transaction input. Splitting transactions is much smoother. Plus some of the visual bugs in Dark Mode have been dissapeared!

Great

Been using it for a couple years now. Simple, does what we need. No fluff. Awesome. Thank you.

Has potential

Subscribed and tried for one month. I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to GoodBudget and similar apps for an “envelope system”. I don’t need to sync actual bank accounts just need something to categorize and track my finances.

This could be it, easy to use and has the main concepts in place. but not developed enough.

Editing transactions: can’t change category or date.

Report generating: didn’t work for me; and I need all transactions to list.

Customer support didn’t respond to email.

Just not confident this app is stable enough.

But hope it gets more attention from the developer. You got this!

So far so good.

The previous reviewer was annoyed that you couldn't clear purchases for the month, but that is exactly what I was looking for. I get really annoyed at apps that start you over from the beginning when the month ends. I don't budget for 30 exact days, I budget by payperiod.

This simple app is exactly what I was looking for. Categories to pull from so I know where my money is going while also showing me what I have leftover to save. It's simple, it's clear, and it's helping me immensely.

I only took off one star because the withdrawl button my mac isn't as seamless as the iphone app. I have to click another category, and then click withdrawl again.

In the future, I'd love to have a reconcile button for transactions. But I am happy to have it as it is now, and it doesn't change the benefit for me.

Thank you!

Great Until a New Month Started

This is a great little app but I can't figure out how to reset/clear the entries after the first month. I have searched everywhere for how to clear the transactions short of going in and deleting each of them by hand. Emailed support a few days ago - no response. For the monthly subscription rate it should be far more obvious or support should get back to you asap.

Bogus app?

As far as I can tell this app only exists to grab your personal info. I could not find anyway to add transactions or effectively use the tool.

Response from developer

Hi Carolyn! We don’t grab your data at all! In fact we’ve built the app so that making an account is completely optional and we only use your email as a username. By default we don’t even store your transactions in our servers. Instead they are stored on your device in a local storage system, and if you ever want to enable cross-device syncing you can do so! Your data is never read by us, sold to third parties, or anything. You can find more about our privacy practices on our privacy policy. Our users’ privacy and personal data are our top priority in every aspect of the app. As for making transactions, you can use the deposit and withdraw buttons on the top of the home screen to start making a transaction! Then you’ll be guided through entering the transaction information, and storing it in a category. If you would like more help getting started with the app, feel free to reach out to us at support@openbudget.us
