### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2019-09-04, version 1.1.1*

I didn't want a fancy syncing app with categories and forcasts.  I wanted an app that would literally count down I how much money I had per week that I could quickly and easily adjust and check.  Perfect!

### 5/5 — Best expense tracker out there!

*2019-08-13, version 1.1.1*

I downloaded more than 12 apps for expense tracking. Then I found this on in the App Store and it was simplest to use and to the point. Best app for expense tracking that I have come across ever.

Add additional features as you may like but continue keeping it simple with less buttons, less clutter and less confusion. Great app !

### 5/5 — THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

*2019-07-25, version 1.1.1*

I never rate or review but I need to thank you for making this app. “Automated” budget technology that reads your bank account and whatever else does not mesh at all with my budgeting style. They can never reliably exclude charges I’m already budgeting for in my living expenses and give me an accurate idea of how much I have to spend for fun - I much prefer to make those calculations on my own, so I just need a simple tool I can punch “i spent money” into. And that’s exactly what this app is! Simple. Functional. Awesome.

### 5/5 — So Simple

*2019-02-07, version 1.1.0*

Can't say how many “Budget” apps I've tried. Never could find one that had custom dates.  All force monthly 1st to 30th, Credit Cards don't go from 1st to 30th.  With custom date I can have a True Budget.  i.e. 01/25 to 02/26 for instance.  And so simple, no bells and whistles, Just set spending amount, and deduct expenditures (or add credits). or keep track of what you spend on.... add a category and track what you spend.  i.e. groceries or fuel, or both.  Thank you, this is a keeper.

### 5/5 — Great lightweight app!

*2018-12-20, version 1.0.1*

Fantastic little app - very simple but does exactly what I’d want!

### 1/5 — App crashes on ipad

*2020-03-12, version 3.0.0*

App continously crashes after setting my first expense or budget.

### 1/5 — Not worth $1.99

*2018-12-18, version 1.0.0*

There are so many free apps, I thought 1.99 would include a few more bells and whistles. It is literally not much more than a glorified calculator. No sharing among friends. No syncing with debit/credit. That seems basic. Why would I want to pay to have to enter my spending manually?!

### 3/5 — Can be way better

*2020-03-12, version 3.0.0*

I like how you can set budgets and expenses. But it’s annoying not being able to see total spent per month. I have to add up each individual expense just to see how much I’ve spent this month. It’s really annoying. Please add a total spent viewer for the expense tracker. 

And can we also get a per week option?

### 3/5 — Good start, needs more options

*2019-01-03, version 1.0.1*

The app is well designed and simple enough, but lacks some features. There should be an option to change currency. There should be an option to modify the date on which a budget was created. There should be an option to change the background color of the app. There should be a more visual representation of how you have spent your budget, like a bar chart or something. 

The app’s premise is great. It’s a no-frills budget tracker. Just needs a bit more polish.

### 4/5 — Love the App, but Syncing w/ Shared Contacts Finicky

*2021-05-24, version 3.1.6*

Love the simplicity of this app. It is perfect for my wife and I to manage individual budgets, a family budget, etc. Best features - ability to create a simple monthly recurring budget, and to share & collaborate specific budgets with anyone.

Only gripe is that the app uses iCloud for data storage. This is great for an individual budget, and smart for sharing with others (you are essentially just sharing the file)… but the problem is that updates are not always synced in real time. Would be nice to have an option to use Google Cloud or Dropbox for instance, and have the app pull/push whenever the budget changes.

### 4/5 — Incredibly Useful & Simple to Use

*2021-02-13*

Prax has become our monthly expenses tracker for general spend, and it’s great! It’s super easy to use has a wonderful UI and you can share budgets, something we need as a family.

The only way to improve it is to allow reorganisation of budgets, and to include a widget that can show how much is left in a specific budget.

### 4/5 — Great Concept

*2018-12-29, version 1.0.1*

I love the simplicity of this app! It is exactly what I have been looking for. I am consistently exhausted by apps like Mint, which complicate the entire process of budgeting, and have a cluttered user interface.

This app is well designed, and is worth the fee considering there are no in-app purchases.

One feature I would like to see in a future version, would be a total amount of all of the budgets added together. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Easy and shareable

*2024-08-18, version 3.1.10*

Super easy to use and you can share budgets with your partner or friends

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-12-26*

Excellent app, very practical way to use an envelopes style budgeting system in a digital way

**Developer response:** We're glad you like it!

### 5/5 — Best and easiest to use budget app so far

*2022-10-25, version 3.1.7*

Please add Dark Mode and the ability to split purchases among different categories, thank you!

### 5/5 — Finally a simple budget app that actually looks good

*2021-12-01, version 3.1.6*

This budget app is super simple and gets straight to the point - exactly what I need and it looks great too! I love the minimal clean design! 
It’s simple enough to use/understand but also gives me everything I need to track my daily/weekly spending! Thanks :-)

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2020-06-25, version 3.1.0*

Took a bit of adjusting, but this budgeting app really works for me. It’s simple and does exactly what I want it to do.

### 5/5 — Thanks for Developers who created this app.

*2020-04-27, version 3.0.1*

Thank you very much for creating this app. 

Not only is the UI/UX easy, but the intuitive screen is also great. Even though I'm Korean,  the Prax is the best I have ever used. I look forward to be support for the international currency as soon as possible :) 

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Better than typical credit card linked apps

*2020-03-17, version 3.0.1*

Beautiful interface. I personally thought it was a bit tricky at first but after 5 minutes realized how intuitive it is. Also like the ability to add photos and geotag where you spent. It sort of allows me to make it a sort of diary which makes it a little more fun to use

### 5/5 — Really happy with this app

*2020-03-11, version 3.0.0*

I’ve always downloaded budgeting apps, excel templates, etc and never follow through with them and end up deleting them after a couple of days. This app looks beautiful (really simple and clean) but also the functionality is perfect. It does EXACTLY what I need it to. I’m able to grab coffee and immediately add the amount to my coffee budget for the month. So easy to use and I’m really happy I found it!

### 5/5 — GREAT WORK! Thank you!

*2020-03-10, version 3.0.0*

This app is great. I was using a different app for a while but when I found this one I gave up the other one without hesitation. Keep up your hard work. I do have one personal preference to a feature I would like to see added in the future, the option to see budgets with 3D Touch/Haptic Touch and/or on the widgets page just to fast glance to not have to completo open the app. Thanks again.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-01-08, version 2.0.3*

Extremely easy app to track expenses. When I need to record expense, I just open an app, find an icon expense and that’s it I got it. Very fast way of expensing!! Thank you for this App
