### 1/5 — No Stars

*2024-06-26*

The app doesn’t seem to be syncing properly. The widget does not show any information. I contacted support about a month ago, but have not received a response yet.

### 1/5 — No stars

*2022-03-15*

All I want is to be able to sync my iPhone to my online budget. I thought by the review, I would be able to use the widget. Paid for it, followed the directions and all it does is wiggle. Stupid me.

### 5/5 — More with less

*2022-03-15, version 1.2.1*

Widget has exactly the information I want, without the information overload of the parent app. That of course is available when you tap the widget.  I think there is design genius with keeping this minimalist design.

Any chance the developer could use the small widget box?  The medium box does dominate my phone screen more than I am comfortable with.  Perhaps that is intentional, and my game now is to have attractive numbers!  Or I can go back to the YNAB widget.

### 1/5 — Really?

*2021-10-11*

This thing doesn’t work at all. Other than that what it does is exactly what the Apple Widget do for free.

**Developer response:** It’s working fine for me and many others. There’s an option in the app to ask for help. Go ahead and use that and I will try to help you out that way.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-09-21*

Tried everything; doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work sorry

*2021-03-06, version 1.2*

This app connects, but doesn’t display anything in the widget.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-01-19*

Fantastic widget, it looks like it could be a native YNAB widget. I am very happy with my purchase of this app.

### 5/5 — Amazing widget

*2021-01-08*

Love it. Works great! Awesome for wife who is not as great about checking YNAB as much as me :)

### 5/5 — Great tool for YNABers

*2021-01-08*

This works great. I can see at a glance what’s left in my budget for the priority categories. No issues with the widget, everything works as planned. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Making a convenient app better

*2020-12-24*

I love YNAB and this app is perfect for YNAB users. It makes looking at my budget even easier! At a glance I can see my most important categories fast and easy. Perfect for my dining out and grocery budget as those are the hardest to keep track of. Highly recommend!
