### 1/5 — Not Usable

*2025-05-06*

Unable to save or keep my currency in USD while I live in another country.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, Melonnolem. Taproot currently follows your Apple device's region settings for currency, but we understand that can be limiting if you're living abroad. We'll look into adding more customization in future updates!

### 1/5 — Opens to black screen

*2025-05-06*

Not even functional.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, and we’re really sorry about the blank screen issue! We identified a problem that affected some new users signing in with Apple, which could result in a blank screen. This has been fixed in the latest update, so feel free to give Taproot another try!

Note: You may need to remove the existing “Sign in with Apple” connection to Taproot in your device settings before signing in again.

If you have any questions or run into issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at taprootbudgeting@gmail.com.

### 1/5 — Privacy NIGHTMARE 🤮

*2025-05-05*

Can you be any more of a data mining 👿In what planet does a budget app need my contact info need my location need my browsing history need my usage history ALL to be tied to me personally 🤮 truely Richard Josiah is an unethical 🤡👎💯🤥🥲

**Developer response:** Hi CréativeGroup,

Thanks for raising your concerns — we take privacy very seriously and appreciate the opportunity to clarify:

* CONTACT INFO: Taproot uses Sign in with Apple so you can choose NOT to share your name or email address.
* LOCATION: We do NOT collect GPS or precise location - the most detail captured is your country. We do collect your TIMEZONE, which helps Taproot better manage your recurring income and expenses if you were to move to a different timezone. 
* BROWSING HISTORY: Taproot does NOT track or collect your browsing history.
* USAGE DATA: We use general usage data to improve the app, but it is NOT linked to individual users. In addition, we've taken extra steps to eliminate the collection of anonymous IP addresses as Apple provides sufficient information to help us understand regional usage.

We do NOT sell user data. Any information we collect is solely to improve functionality and provide support. You can find more information on how we prioritize privacy in our Privacy Policy: https://www.taprootbudgeting.com/support/privacy

Let us know if you have more questions — we’re happy to help.

Josiah

### 1/5 — Won't launch

*2025-05-05*

The day that it has a "lifetime subscription for free!" promo, it won't launch.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback, and we're really sorry to hear about your experience. We're aware of an issue affecting some new users signing in with Apple, which can result in a blank screen. We've already submitted a fix to the App Store to resolve this.

In the meantime, we'd love to make things right! Please email us at taprootbudgeting@gmail.com with your info, and we’ll be happy to reset your Taproot account and help you get up and running.

### 1/5 — Apple sign in

*2025-05-04*

So bad that u can just sign in with apple 
There’s no other signing so it’s unusable cause needs steps verification

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback, and we're really sorry to hear about your experience. We're aware of an issue affecting some new users signing in with Apple, which can result in a blank screen. We've already submitted a fix to the App Store to resolve this.

After creating an account it just has a white screen.  Deleting and reinstalling does the same thing.

### 4/5 — Off to a great start, needs additional features

*2026-07-29*

I’ve been looking for a simple, functional budgeting app to use, and this is looking promising! One issue I’ve noted so far is that I can’t seem to set up recurring income/expenses as happening on certain days of the month (e.g. paid on the 15th and 30th, but having to manually adjust the dates after inputting them for every two weeks)

Looking forward to trying this app out in the next few weeks and seeing if it works for me!

**Developer response:** UPDATE (08/14): We’re excited to share that Taproot now supports semi-monthly income and expenses! Thank you again for this helpful feedback! 

ORIGINAL
We’re glad to hear Taproot may be what you’ve been looking for! Thanks for giving it a try and for sharing this feedback. Supporting recurring income and expenses that occur on a semi-monthly schedule (like the 15th and 30th) is a great suggestion, and we’ll look into adding that flexibility in our next update. 

If you’d like, email us at taprootbudgeting@gmail.com and we’d be happy to keep you updated on our progress.

### 5/5 — Perfect Budgeting App for ADHD

*2026-02-02*

A budgeting system that I actually use? And have for 6 months? Unheard of! I’ve got ADHD, and I also manage the money for my entire family, and this app was a game changer for me (thanks random Reddit thread). This is easily the best and simplest (and most affordable) budgeting app I’ve used (and I’ve used them ALL), and while the app does allow for forward planning, it does it in a contained way that doesn’t let me spiral out and get overwhelmed or lose track of things. The creators and developers are also great and implemented a change I requested within a month of me asking for it! Just perfection 👌 Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** This made our day! We're honored to be the budgeting app that changed the game for you, and so glad we could get your feature request live! Managing the family budget is no small task so it's great to hear that Taproot has made that simpler and less overwhelming. Keep the feedback coming; we're building this for you!

### 5/5 — Useful Budgeting App

*2025-08-26*

This app makes it easy to plan, track, and manage my expenditures. The user interface is sleek and intuitive and easy to navigate. Affordable subscription plans too. I recommend it.

**Developer response:** I’m so glad to hear that Taproot is making budgeting easy for you! If you ever have any feedback or ideas to make it even better, feel free to reach out to our support email. We'd love to hear from you.

### 5/5 — Love

*2025-05-05*

**Developer response:** We're so glad you're enjoying Taproot! If you ever have feedback or ideas to make it even better, feel free to reach out. We'd love to hear from you.

### 5/5 — User Friendly and Fun to Use!

*2025-04-09*

I love the interactive functionality. Super easy to setup, but also fun to see how the data is orchestrated. Not only that, but the informative content built within the setup really feels like you are working hand in hand with someone who has your best interest at heart. 
Will definitely be recommending!

### 5/5 — Great Tracker

*2025-03-03*

A simple way to track funds in and money out of an account. It also has a great feature to show you how much money you need to keep your balance positive until the next pay period and projected extra money every day for the next 2 months.

### 5/5 — Fast & Easy

*2025-03-01*

Finally a budget app that’s simple to use. Couple taps and I have the purchase entered. No more waiting to get home and trying to remember to enter stuff. Seems like it has everything I need.

### 5/5 — Simple and Functional

*2025-03-01*

I like that the first screen that opens is the spending screen. It takes a second to add the amount right after transaction, so you can’t forget. You can see your total spending live too. 
I was hesitant about taking the time to put all the data in initially but it was easy and took no time at all. My partner and I are sharing the app and it’s helpful to know what each other is spending.

### 5/5 — Simple Yet Flexible Budgeting App

*2025-02-18*

This app has been so helpful and simple in planning our budget. It’s easy to make adjustments and know how much money we have or have spent at all times. The best part is how easy and quick it is to track spending! Not only that, but the built in calculator saves stress when splitting transactions! Definitely worth a try.

### 5/5 — Easy Setup

*2025-02-15*

I liked how easy and quick it was to set up. I like that it’s simple to use.
