Handy quick personal budgeting

This app was my answer to leaving behind spreadsheets for my personal budget! I can easily manage my personal budget by hand, tracking every expense no matter what card I use. I can also add income and cash gifts. I don’t have to deal with creepy apps like Mint that read and steal my banking info. This app is handy and useful and in my control!

Just what I needed!!

I have been looking for a free app just to track my spending manually with a budget. Love this app SO MUCH! Glad it exists

Hi LNetj, Thank you for the kind words, I am glad it suits your needs! -Luke

Simple and Easy

This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t need anything fancy that is linked to my bank or cards. This also forces you to put in your spending and be more conscious of your habits. Works well for me

Doesn’t update

Didn’t update my income and it’s just not a straightforward plug in and go. Try the everdollar app of Dave Ramsay way more straightforward even if that app also took a lot of features for their pay wall

Nice and Simple!

The only app I use to track my budget! Nice and simple really helps me budget my day to day expenses!

Hi Don, Glad to hear Simple Budget is working well for you! Thanks, Luke

What a joke

App has no API integrations to automatically track spending. All spending has to be tracked manually. And they want you to PAY for this functionality?

Response from developer

Hi b_lane, You are correct that the app does not integrate with you bank accounts to automatically track your expenses. In my experience, I have found these types of solutions to be too hands off, and budgeting goes to the back of mind. Simple Budget is for the hands-on user. It is also free to use, with a $1/month premium offering. Thank you for leaving this review. Next time, check out the app description before downloading :) Thank you, Luke

Worst

Tried to signin/register and the app doesn’t work. Each time I put in my number to register, it takes me to a verification page which, I complete and then I get an error saying can’t signin/register. If it take multiple tries to get just get started, I can’t imagine the bugs this app while using it.
