Try the everdollar app of Dave Ramsay way more straightforward even if that app also took a lot of features for their pay wall ### 1/5 — What a joke *2025-01-27* 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? **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Worst *2024-10-07* 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. **Developer response:** Hi eskamo:D, Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback, and I’m really sorry you ran into that issue with sign-in. I’ve tracked down the bug causing the problem, and it's been fixed in the latest update. I know this was a frustrating experience, and I really appreciate your patience. Please give it another go, and if you run into any other problems, I’d love to hear from you so I can get them sorted.
