Needs much improvement specially over classification. Things should be more categorised, each detailed and app needs to be much easier, could save much time. Overall performance is good.
This is amazing, but I need a way to save money in a place that doesn't get considered when you want to check your future balances. Currently your savings for specific things (that you don't want to spend) get accounted when you are forecasting your finances. I declare myself on the hunt for an app that suits these kind of needs.
I have enjoyed the progression of this app over the years and continue to use and rely on it daily.
It's a bit of a learning curve but once you get going it's pretty versatile. Currently comparing it with the YNAB app. I've found this one is more difficult at first and needs more input, but I'm not stressed about security or a subscription, and they essentially do the same thing. I'm unable to see my budget past February 2024, is this normal?
Really helps relieve the stress of math and planning financially. Thanks!
This app is really awesome and really what I was looking for. It offers many possibilities to enter very detailed incomes and outcomes. It has additional functionalities like searching with filters, statistics, backups, exports, imports, budgets and some more. Almost everything can be configured. You need some time to set it up, but it is worth the money.
absolutely brilliant. i have used over a dozen other free apps before, trying to get a workable budgeting system goin, and everytime i would find a glaring fault. i was finally willing to spend the measly 3 bucks on this app after reading the other reviews and it was completely worth it. Flawless. Great account making tools, transfers, budgetmaking with the ability to roll over balances if you so desire, and with spending breakdowns with as much detail as you want. I can't recommend it enough.
This is a full finance app. I loved it for a long time. But the app feels old or im just bored. I know there are a few color options. But I'm talking about the boxy sharp edges of the interface design. I really liked this app. But after I tried other similar app, it feels something is missing here. Even though the difference only on the interfaces and animation. Wish you the best. But for now, i will use other app with more sleek design while waiting for you to be more futuristic design. Thanks.
Love it, used it for years. The app has all the functionality you'd want if you're looking for completely offline app that never syncs to your financial accounts. It can easily be customized while remaining highly intuitive. Be warned that I'm having to purchase this app again on my new phone (although I'm using the same Google account as my old one). I'm happy to do it and support the developer. This is a little treasure.
I have used a few budgeting apps in the past and I have to admit that this one is the best I've come across. All functions perform as expected. The statistics screen is really well done. My only suggestion is creating a predicting algorithm feature that would take your average expenses over a set period of time and predict your future worth in a set future date. What i can tell the overview screen does this but only with reoccurring expenses/incomes. Anyways not a showstopper. Great App!
Exceptional offline budgeting! I have tried so many budgeting apps to find the right one. I have tried auto-syncing apps, which don't work with my bank and don't hold you accountable like manual entry does. This app gives you all the tools you need to analyze, record, and plan with your money. A work of art; I will gladly buy this app to support the devs and I encourage everyone to try this app.
Two months into using this app and in my opinion it is probably one of the best budgeting apps out there. I have tried many budgeting apps and this one is probably the most pliable. There is a little bit of a learning curve but once you figure how you want use it for your budgeting it becomes very easy to use and intuitive. The feature I like the best is the ability to attach a picture of a receipt to each transaction. I drop the photo on my SD card and link it to the transaction. Works perfect!
tried all the other free budgeting apps. this is the only one that worked for my brain. all the other apps are just trying to sell you credit cards. if you really want to build a model in your brain of your financial situation, manually entering every transaction is the best way to do it. there is a learning curve to the app. it's a lot of work, but the rewards are invaluable.
I have been using My Budget Book for several years now. I have had questions and the support was very responsive. Not designed to be accessed online, I have not found that to be a problem. Since online security is a real concern today, I'm OK with it. I started by downloading transactions and then importing them. However, many of my transactions are repetitive, so I set up repeating transactions and no longer download them. I do recommend this app without reservation.
This is a fantastic budgeting app that allows you to manage all of your accounts. It is a little overwhelming at first, but this is solely due to how much you can customize and fine tune with this powerful app. The templates and recurring transactions make adding new purchases a breeze. Exactly what I wanted, will never use another one.
Been using this for quite a while now and it hands down beats any other budgeting app that I have tried. The lack of gamification might be a bit of a downer for people who need the extra push to save and budget, but as pure budgeting tool, this provides many customizable options that you can use to plan your finances and stay on top of it all.
This is just OUTSTANDING in every imaginable way! FIRSTLY, it is an excellent and easy way (very intuitive!) to enter and manage your everyday personal AND business expenses, and it so easy to export from for your accounting records. This does a FAR better and more accurate job than I could ever do by constantly writing in a notebook, keeping receipts (etc) and then transcribing everything. So fast and easy. SECONDLY - this is huge - it does NOT force any ridiculous or inappropriate permissions on the user. Very private and secure. LOVE IT.
The app is good but missing two important features that a different app I've used had. 1) You can't change the position of entered transactions. Meaning if you add a transaction and then another it's based on the time you entered and well as the date. However there's no time setting to adjust when it's entered My Budget Book only has date. 2) There's no way to search for duplicate entries. At least I haven't figured it out. 3 stars until these features are added.
That's really one of the best budget apps available, it's a very good alternative to the unfortunately not anymore maintained Cash Droid. I love it's forecasting features, you can always see how much is left at the end of the month. You can even adjust the starting day of the month to align with your payments and salary. I love it!
This app is exactly what I was looking for! I love that it is fully customizable. You can add your income as it comes in, you can set your own range of time (my budget for example runs from the 20th of each month to the 20th of the next). There's loads of different ways to view your budget, and helpful stats. And I just found out there is a detailed manual in the app! Well worth paying for.
This app is simple, but has so much data! Budgets are very easily managed, spending categories are completely customizable, and there is so much data available! A handy graphical displays money spent and money remaining for each budget, and it can be customized to include only certain spending or income categories. A year view shows you your forecasted money if your spending habits remain the same all year. And pie charts dig into each category of spending and income. Information rich!!
I just find it annoying that it's telling me I have more money than I have actually got and that I have to input every little transaction I make through the app to make the end money right! I absolutely love the app itself however would be good if you had the option to connect your bank account and do from payday to payday to sort out your finances better
