App won’t open without paying

When opening the app first is a pop up with a 50% off offer, I click no thanks and it takes me back to that pop up every time. No point in downloading if you don’t want to pay the app is useless.

Fabulous

I use it every day. It has saved my finances

Review

Stop asking me for a review every time I open the app or I’ll take away stars!

Technical Issues

I’ve had this app for two years. It has a small memory for businesses that you enter. So you have to re-enter the business almost every time. Every time I use the app it suddenly just disappears from the screen and you have to start all over.

Eh

I enjoyed it until you now have to pay £39.99 a year to use it. If I had that money spare I wouldn’t be using a budget tracker. Also, £39.99 in my opinion is a steep price for what you actually get.

Probablema en Apple Watch

Desde la actualización no sincroniza con Apple Watch. No es la primera vez que pasa tras una actualización.
ACTUALIZO: Cada vez va peor, sincroniza cuando le da la gana, borra transacciones… Era la mejor, ahora no te puedes fiar.

180 degree turn

I bought the app when it was paid on the AppStore. I was very pleased and felt happy I truly owned, to the point I remember even donating tips.

To see it turn into a free app, and then a subscription-based app is a complete toss away of business ethics, and developer integrity to its previous values.

Absolute best in category

Just enough functionality for what I need. This app is absolutely essential for me.

Misled

$5.99 a month. Would appreciate some transparency.

App got worse!

I’ve been using this for years and loved it with the simplicity, but for almost a year now the app just freezes constantly and sometimes reset my budgets. I reached out to the team but it never got fixed. I’m quitting this app now. It’s a shame really.

scammy

literally doesn’t let me press the option not to buy a subscription upon first opening the app

Best simple budget tracker

This budgeting app can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. For beginners, it offers a simple user interface that is easy to navigate and operate. For power users, it has robust automation tools to simplify complex budgets with multiple accounts and ledgers. For all, it offers nuanced flexibility without the baggage of complexity.

디자인도 깔끔하고 쓰기도 편함.

자동 지출등록 기능은 애초에 IOS의 한계니 빼더라도, 디자인도 예쁘고 쓰기도 편함. 분야마다 예산을 다르게 설정해 놓을 수 있다는 것도 편리함. 화면 구성도 복잡하지 않고 깔끔해서 좋음. 가계부 어플 중 화면이나 디자인이 투박해서 사용하는 데 망설이던 앱이 많았는데, 기본 기능에도 충실하고 디자인도 예쁘니 오래 쓸 것 같음. 카드별 관리가 가능하다면 더 좋을 것 같다. 3개월 쓰면서 느낀 단점이라면 예산을 융통성 있게 운영하기 힘들다는 것. 총액을 기준으로 사용하기엔 편리하지만 수입이나 소비가 불규칙적일 경우엔 조금 번거로움. 이런 경우 다른 가계부 사용을 추천함. 간단한 화면 구성은 편리하고 깔끔하지만 그만큼 부족하게 느껴지는 부분도 없지않아 있음. 번역이 너무 안 좋아서 번역부분 개선이 꼭 필요함.

Used to be a great app

I have used this app for years and loved it. But one of the latest updates changed the rollover feature. It used to ask during the budget setup if you wanted the budget to rollover each week. Now it doesn’t ask and I always forget. The only way to do it is to create the budget and then go into the edit menu and change it to rollover. And if you forget, tough luck. Unlike what the app says, yes you can change this at anytime, but it will only be for going forward. If you forget and the next week starts it won’t recalculate. Stupid update. I’m going to have to find a new budget app.

Screen frozen

After many years of using Pennies, I’m now giving up on this app as the screen keeps getting stuck and no improvements at all for months. It’s such a shame, I loved this app so much before.

UI change

I’ll be honest I haven’t updated the app in a while so I don’t know when these UI changes came about, but i accidentally deleted it the other day and had to reinstall and now the UI has changed when setting up a budget and honestly it’s ugly. The buttons are ugly, the floating lists with fake drop downs used to choose your settings (changed from the scroll menu) are ugly, the fact that i have to type in the decimal point now instead of it automatically being included is annoying. I wish developers would just let us CHOOSE how we want to interact with our apps instead of forcing UI changes on us that can never be modified. my app has looked and function same way for 10 years until now and i’m seething.

ultimately still a good budgeting app though.
