Basic

This app is a waste of money. There is an option for periodic transactions so you can record all your monthly bills but it doesn’t record these in your monthly payments so you have to manually enter, every single time. Also the payments are only listed by category, so you can’t see them in date order which isn’t helpful. I tried to contact developer and they ignored the email so save your money and look for something else.

Forces you to purchase app before you know if it’s any good

Downloaded this app as it said “Free - In-app purchases available”. So I downloaded it and it asked lots of questions about my expenditure which I took time to answer. I pressed continue and it then refused to let me go any further unless I bought the app. I don’t really consider this free with in app purchases. Shame as it looked quite a good app but not prepared to pay before I’ve tried it out

Good app

Would be great if you could move expenses into different categories as if you set them up and then want to change them you have to enter all the info again. Would also be helpful If you could sort with those expenses due first rather than just latest. Okay though, but could be improved.

Monthly subscription

Went through all the basic info then it asked for money. No free options as far as I can see.

Thank you 🙏

Not the best with money but this is helping a lot! Was using Emma but it’s too automated for me. Meaning it’s better for me to physically input things to keep track rather than an app that link everything with bank automatically. Like says on tin ‘Simple’ and much cheaper. Love you can make your own categories. Much cheaper too! One size doesn’t fit all but this work for me. One critique; it is would be good if on the first Budgeting page it gave an expense total so could would out income/expense ratio easier. Thank you

Not free

If you want a free budgeting app, don’t bother with this one. It’s good for a while but you’re only allowed to enter 40 transactions before you have to pay for premium.

What is the point

It does not budget or calculate anything for you. It’s just categories and you put an amount and you can view it. I can do that on paper. I want my $1.99 I wasted back.

Love the App!

It’s simple and straight to the point which I appreciate - Only issues is, I haven’t been able to export my data. Always gives me an error when I try, other than that, it’s not bad.

Separate Statistics for Savings

This is very simple yet effective. Highly recommended. One thing for improvement and suggestion is to have separate stats for savings and it should not be considered as expense on the summary tab. Thank you

:(

Unusable, I have a weekly salary

It’s actually simple to use.

That’s it. Straightforward and decently cute.

Budget App

I like the app, but it says one subscription for the whole family. I tried this three different ways. I tried to login to my account on another device, I tried using the sharing code, and I tried to restore purchase. Which didn’t work. There are no additional options to connect accounts in the settings menu.

Fix the glitches too part

I love this app - but for over a week now it’s been glitching out. The top part where all the buttons are is constantly shifting up and down and it’s distracting and makes the app difficult to use. I tried reinstalling it, restarting my phone, etc and it won’t go away. I even got a new phone recently and the glitch transitioned right over.

Please fix and I’ll adjust my review to 5/5.

Brilliant!

It’s really turned things around for me. Great that it doesn’t require you to connect a bank account like some apps.
Would love to be able to label periodic transactions with more detail though.

Nice feature

The Budget sharing feature is great! We use it as a couple to track our family budget easily.

Useful and simple

Happy to see such an app whic is easy to use and convenient for tracking my budget.

Another color category for savings please? other than that this app is really helpful

Such great simplicity

Simple as advertised, wish dates were better

Like the simplicity, just wish the paycheck period was customizable for those that get paid every 2 weeks, not twice a month.

Icons

I hope the icons can be pleasing or something like an artwork.

It’s confusing

I thought if I start by putting my monthly income I could substract by adding my expenses and that wasn’t happening. Would have been nice if the app walked you through it. I ended up deleting it because I didn’t find it helpful.
