### 3/5 — Simple to use, nice reports

*2024-09-18*

This is one of the simplest expense tracking apps I  have found and the reports are easy to read. I wish I could turn off the entry time (i would rarely use this in the moment of purchase and a separate fields for payee would be helpful for reporting purposes.  Fore example, to see how much has been paid to a specific company.

### 5/5 — Awesome for what it is

*2020-07-19*

I was looking for an app that is as basic as possible as it will only track income and expense from my Gig jobs and create a pdf. That’s all I wanted and this is the only app I found that delivers the basics. I edited this because I discovered that you can change date ranges directly on the report. I was looking in settings. Sorry

### 5/5 — Easy and practical

*2018-07-23*

If you’re looking to understand where you money goes this is app is great!

One suggestion, a daily avg. would be nice 👌

### 3/5 — Nice, but waiting for IOS 8 update

*2015-01-06*

Nice, useful app. Would be better if it was updated for IOS 8!

### 5/5 — Easy!  Easy!  Brilliant!

*2013-06-29*

I love this simple app. If I could have anything I would add the ability to track by a higher level. I use it to track my sons college expenses and will have a daughter going to school soon. Great job. Simple to use without all the clutter.

### 5/5 — Awesome little package!!!

*2013-03-23*

A quick, easy and pain free way to keep track of your spending habits, and run comparisons from right inside the app itself. 
Throw away your whiteboard and recoup that time on excel data entry!
Cannot recommend highly enough

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-01-29*

This is just what I needed and its perfect for keeping track of my expenses. I love the design very clean...
Nice reports great app

### 5/5 — Great Simple App

*2012-05-27*

I needed a quick way to enter expenses and get a quick summary-- and this is perfect and replaced several other apps I bought, tried, and abandoned.  The feature of exporting a report to PDF was a surprise that I really like.  By printing out a nicely formatted report, it's easy to see where the money goes and what can be trimmed.  Very slick!

### 5/5 — Does the job well

*2012-04-25*

Not the slickest interface I've seen, but it does what you need it to do well.  Input is very easy to manage and you can export the data in many ways (graphics, PDFs etc)...

If your serious about tracking your personal finance this is a great way to start!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2012-03-31*

This app doesn't assume much, which is exactly what I need.  Simple, easy, yet sufficiently customizable.

If you need Quicken in your pocket, look elsewhere.  If you need to know how much you spend each week on smokes, beer and gas, this app is it.  A+++ would buy again.
