Pocket Clear does the opposite: it gives you a clean slate, instant entry, and clear insights into your cash flow. After five months of consistent daily use, it has completely streamlined how I track my spending. It’s rare to find an app that respects your time and privacy this well. Easily a 5-star essential on my home screen. **Developer response:** Thank you — this is one of the clearest descriptions of what we're trying to build that anyone has written. No ads, no bloat, instant entry, and your data stays yours. Five months of daily use is the real test and we're glad it held up. If anything ever starts getting in your way, tell us at hello@pocketclear.app. ### 5/5 — BEST EASY TO USE EXPENSE TRACKER ON THE MARKET *2026-09-12* i use it with my partner and it has been so helpful! this is easy to use but also highly customizable **Developer response:** Thank you! Using it with a partner is where Pocket Clear really earns its keep — two people, one clear picture, and each person's private spending stays private. If there's something you'd like to customize that isn't adjustable yet, let us know at hello@pocketclear.app. ### 5/5 — Very flexible *2026-09-08* I needed a straightforward no nonsense expenses tracker that I could manually update without requiring connectivity to my bank, and this app matches that perfectly. It’s very flexible and you can set it up pretty much how you like with sub categories within main categories and easily set up regular payments to appear automatically. The reports option also provides a great summary of spending broken down by category. All in all a really useful app at a very reasonable price. ### 5/5 — Best app if you want something reliable *2026-09-06* Probably easy to use and simple interface makes it even better **Developer response:** Thank you! Reliable and simple is exactly what we aim for — no ads, no clutter, nothing extra to learn. If anything ever feels off, write to hello@pocketclear.app. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2026-09-05* Simple, effective, and customizable. I really like this app! **Developer response:** Thank you! Simple, effective and customizable is exactly the balance we're chasing — powerful enough to be useful, never so much that it gets in the way. ### 5/5 — Lo mejor *2026-09-02* La mejor app **Developer response:** gracias ### 5/5 — Luvit *2026-09-01, version 2.08* I have used this app for 6 months to help budget for my Thermomix. It has been great for budgeting and keeping a tally of my savings; deducting them from the original price. Thank you for creating this app. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-09-01* Simple interface and easy to use. Max usage even with free version. I am loving it. **Developer response:** Thank you! You've spotted something deliberate: the free version is meant to be genuinely usable, not a trial in disguise. Pro adds depth for people who want it, and if you never upgrade, the app still works properly. Glad it's earning its place. — Aravind ### 5/5 — Very simple *2026-09-01, version 2.08* First time ever I have tracked all my spending. Allows me to see at a glance if I have stuck to my weekly budget and see where my money has gone in a simple pie chart, love it ! ### 5/5 — Private and Functional *2026-08-31* No unnecessary data collection and a functional minimalist design. Fair pricing, just 1€ a month for the premium features. But the free version also works for most. You pay transparently with your money and not your data. **Developer response:** Thank you — you've described the trade I actually made. There's no advertising business here and nothing to gain from collecting more than the app needs, so the app doesn't. That the free version covers most people is the point rather than an oversight; the paid tier is for the ones who want the extra depth. Thanks for putting it so clearly. — Aravind ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-26* I only wish they’d add a feature to take a photo of the original receipt. It’s still a great app **Developer response:** Thanks, glad it's easy to use. Receipt photos are the most-requested thing we don't have yet, and they're coming in our end-of-September release. If you mail hello@pocketclear.app I'll let you know the day it's live. — Aravind, founder ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-23* Great app and easy to use **Developer response:** Thank you for being a part of the Pocket Clear family. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-08-21* I’ve downloaded this app, and is so awesome, I’m still getting use to use budgets so this app makes it so easy, I really recommend it 100% oh and don’t forget, the section that says ‘budget’ within settings is where you set the amount for your categories of your budget. Again I really recommend this app I really like the design and colors of the interface of this budget app. **Developer response:** Thank you Luis — and thanks for including that tip for other people. Glad the design's working for you. We're looking at making budgets easier to find so the tip isn't needed. ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-08-18* Helps me manage my funds well. Definitely recommend **Developer response:** Thank you for being a part of the Pocket Clear family. ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-05-29* The best app which clearly allows us to track our expenses. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words ### 5/5 — Objectively honest *2026-05-28* Great app!! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-08-03* This app ask your details first and then show you that one first month free **Developer response:** Hi Suraj — I think the banner gave the wrong impression, so let me clear it up. Pocket Clear itself is free, permanently. Not free for a month. Unlimited transactions, your own categories, the reports and full offline use don't cost anything and won't start to. "First month free" refers to Pro, a separate optional upgrade for extras like syncing across your devices and sharing with a partner. It's a free trial of that upgrade, not of the app. Ignore it entirely and nothing stops working, nothing gets locked, and you're never asked for a card. Sorry that wasn't clearer from the banner alone — that one's on us, and I'll get the wording sorted. If you want to ask anything, hello@pocketclear.app comes straight to me. ### 1/5 — No place to record the merchant/Payee *2026-07-27* I need to be able to track where I am spending my money and where the money is coming from. **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! Version 2.04 is out now — it adds transaction search across your whole history, Payees, a semi-monthly period for anyone paid twice a month, a "Spent today" total on Home, and new Appearance settings. If there's something you'd still like to see, email me at hello@pocketclear.app ### 1/5 — Warning *2026-07-10* Do not use this app. Their website links users to a fake app store page with fake reviews, and they do not genuinely delete data, seeing as I deleted my account then signed up with the same credentials and my transaction history was still there. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-06-21* The apps great, it could be better if you could add some more details and customizations in reports section. For example when we touch a bar or poe chat chart it shows the actual value, stuff like that **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind review and the thoughtful suggestion! You're absolutely right—being able to tap a bar or pie slice in Reports to see its exact value would make the charts much more useful, and that's exactly the kind of improvement we want to make. Good news: we're planning to add interactive charts in our first July release. You'll be able to tap on bars and pie chart slices to view their exact values. We're also exploring additional enhancements to Reports, including more detailed insights and customization options. If you ever have more feedback or ideas, feel free to reach out directly at hello@pocketclear.app. I personally read every message. Thanks again for helping us make Pocket Clear better! — Aravind, Founder, Pocket Clear ### 4/5 — Good but *2026-04-27* Refreshing is problematic. When one person enters data it takes a while for the other person to see it. **Developer response:** Thank your for your feedback, we will improve this in our next release ### 4/5 — Great app but… *2026-03-29* Would love the ability to edit titles/icons after they’ve been created. Also, would love the ability to plan ahead on future months. **Developer response:** Hi, we’ve included this feature in our latest update. Kindly update your app to access it, and please let us know if there’s anything we could add or improve—we’d love your feedback. ### 4/5 — Add a new currency *2026-03-25* Hello! The app looks and works great, but people from Costa Rica like me doesn’t have our currency as an option on the app, we will appreciate this in a future update! **Developer response:** Glad to hear you’re enjoying the app! We’re adding the Costa Rican currency, along with 19 others, in the 1.61 release, which will go live this Monday. Please update your app on the App Store/Play Store. ### 4/5 — All *2026-03-19* So far so good **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-10-17* I really love how everything’s organized. I used it all the time. ### 5/5 — Privacy-Focused Budget App *2026-10-17* I love how privacy-focused this app is! I also love how the free version really works; I’m still on the free version and have tracked three months so far. I also appreciate that Aravind (the founder) reaches out regularly and incorporates feedback into upcoming updates. Overall a very pleasant experience! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple budget tracking tool *2026-10-16* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Favorite budgeting app!!! *2026-10-16* I am so hype about this app!

I also really appreciate the developer’s responsiveness and the recent update with the addition of a refund feature. It’s so much easier to accurately track my spending. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for expense tracking *2026-10-08* This is after six months of using the Pocket Clear app. I am witnessing a consistent growth of an app. Every update comes with a new feature.

Recommended to family and friends and I strongly recommend it to everyone who is looking for clean expense tracking app. Kudos to the developer. ### 5/5 — Easy and private *2026-10-06* Easy to use, good analysis tools, and private.

The app itself is excellent, and getting even better every update. This was one of 4 expense tracker apps i trialled and settled on this one due to its ease of use, simple design, and based on data privacy. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! Of the four trackers you tried, I'm really glad this is the one that stuck, and that it was ease of use, simple design and privacy that decided it, because those are the three things I care about most. Every update gets better because of messages like yours, so keep them coming at hello@pocketclear.app. ### 5/5 — 100% recommend *2026-09-27* Love the app - straightforward , no fluff and unnecessary things.
