## What is Visual Budget?

With Visual Budget, easily manage your personal and business accounts using powerful, advanced analysis and consolidation features.

Visual Budget can be used to handle several accounts simultaneously and sort them into different groups. 

Expense/income categories are automatically created based on a standard model that fits most needs. You can of course modify this category list to suit more particular requirements for each of your accounts. Two levels of categories/sub-categories allow you to define your budget plan in an easy but precise way. 

Assign a budget to every category, and accurately monitor the evolution of your income and expenses. 

You can input your financial transactions manually, or automatically by importing CSV (spreadsheet) or OFX (bank standard) files with iTunes file sharing. 
Check off your transactions to ensure that they match your bank statements. 
Define recurring transactions, such as a monthly Internet subscription, once and for all.

Visual Budget also features Overview tools, allowing you to visualize the breakdown of your transactions and the changes in your balances in the blink of an eye, and to monitor your budgets efficiently

Several graphs (bar or pie charts) provided by the application give you a clear and synthetic view of your transactions and their breakdown into expense, income, category and budgetary changes. 

The application comes with an example account featuring a dozen transactions which will allow you to quickly become familiar with it. 

Freemium version, limited to 50 transactions per account. Integrated purchase unlocks unlimited transaction creation.

Universal application for iPhone/iPad, iOS 7.1 and above.
Mac Version available on the Mac App Store.

### 5/5 — Mon application de finances préférée depuis 2013!

*2026-07-08*

J’utilise Visual Budget depuis 2013 et, après toutes ces années, elle demeure de loin mon application préférée pour gérer mes finances personnelles.

J’adore la possibilité de classer chacune de mes transactions dans des catégories et des sous-catégories personnalisées. Cela rend le suivi de mes dépenses extrêmement simple et bien organisé.

Les graphiques et les statistiques sont excellents. Voir l’évolution de mes finances au fil du temps m’aide vraiment à comprendre où va mon argent et à mieux gérer mon budget.

L’application est complète, intuitive et incroyablement fiable. Après plus de 10 ans d’utilisation, je peux dire qu’elle m’a accompagné au quotidien et qu’elle vaut largement ses 5 étoiles.

Merci aux développeurs pour cet excellent travail! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 5/5 — Update: Its now been 10 years still using the App

*2026-05-14*

Update:
It's now been 10 years since I started using the App. I have tried others but thay don't have what is needed for my budgeting each month. I still give it 5 stars. Guess I will continue using it as long as I live… Or it keeps getting updated?

I have been using Visual Budget on my IPhone for 3 years. For me it’s perfect for my needs. I keep track of all my banking information by inputting reoccurring bills at the beginning of each month. I know the total day by day as I input other transactions as I make them. It lets me know how much money I have in my account even before my bank let’s me know. So at anytime I can look and see how much money I will have at the end of the month to the penny. I would never dream of using another App. I have never had a single problem I love this App.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2026-01-20*

Awesome app. Exactly what I was looking for. My one wish is that the transactions would start with today and go to the future as you scroll down, not the opposite.

### 4/5 — Best app so far

*2026-01-19*

Been using this app for a loooong time - since 2018 or possibly earlier. Love the revamp look as interface looked old for ages. But I hope changes with the look won’t be too often. I wish it could sync with macbook apps so I can post entries from my macbook as well. Other than that, it’s a great app

### 3/5 — Great app

*2026-01-05*

Used this for years for one account & recently started tracking a couple of others. It’s a brilliant app. My only suggestion for an improvement would be to make syncing data between devices much simpler… it would be nice to be able to enter/edit transactions on my phone & my tablet, but I can’t be faffed with import/export of files - I just want all installed apps to automatically sync to the last updated version of the transactions record. Is this possible?
Edit: obviously not! The iOS 26 version doesn’t seem much different, save a new look. I’m finding that future & recurring transactions are dancing around on the dates, especially when I change the time on my phone to the local time of where I am (eg India last week & 27 transactions shifted by a day). Not the end of the world but it should be better.

### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2026-01-05*

Have been using this brilliant app for years with no problems at all, but the latest update makes everything much more difficult to navigate & read. It might be something to do with the latest iOS update which is a total disaster, but I wish I could revert back to the previous version of visual budget.

### 5/5 — Доработка

*2026-01-03*

Очень много лет пользуюсь приложением, все устраивает. Но видимо после обновления пропал калькулятор при вводе новой операции, верните, пожалуйста! И еще хотелось бы видеть расходы в день, в приложении на маке такое есть, на айфоне отсутствует(

### 5/5 — Great budgeting app!

*2025-12-30, version 1.80*

I have been using this app since 2016 and it has been helpful in tracking my expenses and income. It is user friendly and the upgrade to pro is worth it. You get access to more features. This app is a keeper.

### 5/5 — Great Budget/ Finance manager

*2025-12-27, version 1.80*

Thanks for update! Used for ten years. Use it daily. Does it all. Highly recommend. I’ve never needed a switch.

### 5/5 — Great, with one comment

*2025-12-27, version 1.80*

Great app, and very convenient.
My comment is that I hope you can bring back the “adding calculator” which was removed after the recent update
