### 4/5 — Amazing & simple but…

*2023-09-25, version 1.0.5*

I love using this app because it’s simple and straightforward! But I have one small request! 

 I have it set that my weeks starts on Thursday! So when Wednesday is done and Thursday starts it would be nice to see the dates get updated automatically (Referring to the “spend until Date” !!!) I have to press on another day and then press on Thursday again for it to update to next week Thursday! Can you please fix & thanks!!!!!

### 5/5 — Most Excellent

*2023-07-03, version 1.0.5*

All I need from an expense tracking app

### 5/5 — Nice

*2020-07-31, version 1.0.5*

Very simple, exactly what I need

### 2/5 — No way to choose start date

*2018-12-15*

For fortnightly and monthly, it starts on a date you can’t change. Today is Friday and i want it to begin the budget cycle today for 2 weeks, but it wants to start last Friday. 
Nice concept tho.
