It even lets you set a due date for your saving goals, which is really useful if you want to save for something like a holiday or a special birthday. Would definitely recommend! ### 4/5 — Great App. *2017-01-12, version 4.32* Easy to use both on the iPhone and iPad. ### 4/5 — Recommend it - brilliant for keeping track of money *2016-07-11* Really quite a good app, makes keeping track of savings/money really easy, can be a really good way of saving money, just feels like having an app there that clearly shows how well you're doing and how much you have left to save easier because seeing it makes you want to save it more. Only improvements would be that visually the app isn't that pleasing, and it's pretty basic, good for what it is though! ### 4/5 — Suggestions *2016-03-10* This is a very good app. My suggestions would be to make the info button's background a lot smaller. It takes up a quarter of the screen. Also, we should be able to rearrange the goals by being able to drag them up and down. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Excellent but overpriced *2015-05-27* I like this app and find it useful. I do think it is overpriced and it should be a universal app. As it is, the developer is in your pocket for each device. Moreover, there is no real sync. For this price, you deserve a true sync. Yes, you can restore and backup but that's a pain when apps today have seamless syncing. You can use the iphone app on your ipad and not have to pay extra. It works fine. I also wish the app kept a total of the amount you need to save monthly or weekly or whatever and a total of what you need to save. I can see where that might be a problem but it sure would be nice to have when you have four or five goals as many people do. Other than that, it's a good app and probably the best in this class of apps at this time. I just think the developer is in your pocket too much the way he sells this. ### 4/5 — Good app *2015-05-09* Use it pretty regularly. Helps to keep me on track and remind me why I'm giving up buying take away lattes. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-03-10, version 1.5* Very happy, does what it says on the tin ### 5/5 — Easy, fun, convenient *2015-01-30, version 1.5* I use this app to earmark separate savings goals and I enjoy seeing the gold coins add up. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2015-01-15* This is a great app it allows you to see how much your saving. The only suggestion I would make is to be able to make journal entries. Every time you add money you can enter the date and where money came from or if you have to take money out, the date and why you had to take it out. ### 5/5 — Handy option of + and - $$ *2014-12-30* Lets you add and subtract money from your savings record ### 4/5 — Just what I was looking for *2014-09-19* I was looking for something to organise my savings goals while allowing me to add and subtract from the goal. I found it in this app. ### 5/5 — Please make a UI refresh *2014-09-12* Best app I could find too count my change and bills but needs an total update, I paid a dollar for it and it still has ios 6s keyboard. Update it ### 4/5 — Love it but out dated! *2014-09-04, version 1.5* Needs a modern make over. Just something lighter and simple. ### 5/5 — Beat I've used so far *2014-08-19* I've tried other savings goals apps in the past, and this one is definitely the best of the ones I've tried. ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-06-10, version 1.5* I love it it's perfect for me ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The new version *2016-04-13* Before the new version was released, I really enjoyed using this app. Now I can no longer access it. Previously, I secured my app with a password. Now since the new app was installed my number keyboard blocks access to the app, not allowing access to the full bottom of the new app, where I suspect I need to press some navigation features that allow you inside the app. I have tried everything to get this number keypad removed so I can see the lower portion of the front screen of the app and Navigate the new version you just released. To say I'm Frustrated would be an understatement. ### 1/5 — Not Good *2012-04-29, version 1.0* To basic, does not compound interest? ### 2/5 — Very simple *2015-05-05, version 1.5* Does what it says but for an app you have to pay it should do a lot more.. Might aswell organise your savings on excel. ### 2/5 — Ok *2012-12-09, version 1.3* How to get ride of home page BIG instruction section and More button ?? Pls fix will review again. Thank You! ### 2/5 — Needs a fortnightly budget *2012-11-25* This app would be a hell of a lot better if it also included a fortnightly option. It isn't the same using monthly or weekly when I'm paid fortnightly. Surely it can't be that hard to add in? Won't be using it until that happens. ### 2/5 — Ok *2012-09-23* After less than two weeks the calculator was out (my goal is $60,000, I had $7,900 saved and it told me it had $53,200 to go to reach my goal). Would help if there was a graph or % of your target. ### 2/5 — Good but pot won't increase on payment days *2012-06-01* Great app except for one big problem. If I set a payment schedule then I still must add these amounts manually. Surely this defeats the purpose of the app Please release and update where the pot increases automatically when the payment dates arrive. ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2021-01-03* I have found this app to be the best out of all the others, but I would like to see the ability to see payment records. Sometimes I can pay more and sometimes I have to borrow or pay less to the savings goal. It would be nice to be able to reflect on records. ### 3/5 — Good app, just needs updating *2016-02-25, version 1.5* Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely app, but it needs updating to coincide with the current iPhone update ### 3/5 — Money saver *2015-03-19* Overall I like this app. I would love this app to have a feature where I can view history of past deposits, just like the banking apps. I'm more interested in seeing what I have already saved rather than how much more I need. Add this feature to be rated 5 stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I like it *2019-12-16* Quite Helpful. I’d like to suggest an update that would allow us to add a picture of our Savings Goal ie A Camera Lens etc. ### 5/5 — Perfect app to set goals!!! *2018-02-09* This app is perfect for setting my savings goals for the things I like. Very useful and helpful. Love it 5 stars! ——————————————————— Update Request: 1. Please add the ability to customise the calendar to change the start day in the week instead of Monday to Sunday etc. It would be great it would get this feature other than that the app is perfect. ### 5/5 — Good app *2017-01-17, version 4.32* Good app, would recommend ### 5/5 — Easy to monitor *2016-04-19* Love the app! Use it to keep track of every expense and helps me to plan ahead of time to ensure I'm not hit with unexpected costs. Would love if they introduced an auto fill option. Rather than entering each amount individually being able to fill all for necessary payment would be great. ### 5/5 — New update *2016-04-06, version 4.00* Really like the new look after the newest update 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Great Little App *2016-01-05* This is a great app to help you save and see your savings grow. Set your goal, set your target date, it will calculate the amount you need to save. You also have the option to configure your goals anyway you like. Love it. ### 5/5 — Great Savings App *2015-12-28, version 1.5* This app is good for tracking savings or setting goals!! I feel it could be very helpful!! ### 5/5 — Spending log *2015-12-03, version 1.5* Great app Use it daily 👍 ### 5/5 — Surprisingly handy *2015-09-21* I thought, "hey, this might be useful." But it's actually perfect for helping me save for things - I know exactly how much I need to save, when to save it, and when it will be saved by. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2015-03-19, version 1.5* Very good and was easy to start a plan --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
