### 4/5 — Really good and easy to use app

*2024-10-10*

i really like this for simple tracking of where i’m spending my money so if that’s what you want it’s got easy ui and if you just want to see how much you spend each month and where it goes this is pretty much as perfect as it gets, only four stars because there’s only like a little bit i don’t fully understand but it doesn’t look like i would even have any need to use it

### 4/5 — Everything I Need…..Almost

*2024-07-17*

This app is great! I’m still able to use this with my biweekly pay schedule. Super simple, user friendly, and very inexpensive. My only complaint is that I wish that you were able to set “Budgets” on a biweekly basis rather than just weekly or monthly.
