Weekly Reviews

This is hands down my favorite budget app but I noticed since 2023 my bank transactions are no longer syncing 2-3x a day and only syncing after 6pm it it’s not pulling in all posted transactions for that day- some posted transaction from the same bank account will update the following day. I bank with Capital One (big bank) and One United ( smaller bank) and both institutions use to sync more frequently. One United generally posts their transactions automatically and this app used to pick up those items immediately. CapitalOne used to sync 2-3x a day & now I’m lucky if it syncs once a day after 6pm. I wish there was a way to set a time for auto sync daily. I certainly would chose a 9:30am sync after most banks are finished running their system updates for the morning around 9am for transactions to post.

Also, I wish the funds feature was more flexible where you have the option to not set a contribution time period. As someone on an irregular income, I’d like to be able to set up a fund without this parameter so at the end of the month I can just flow money into a fund vs rolling it over to the next week versus having to go through the annoying manual process of updating/deleting transactions so that my funds amount matches my savings accounts. Or have the option of having the EOM balance auto transferred to the fund account as your contribution amount.

Hi! The newest update is terribly buggy making Weekly unusable. Please fix the “start new week” button because right now it just spins circles and won’t move to the next screen to start the new week meaning I’m stuck without an accurate budget for this week until an update is pushed through. Also, the widget that shows the active budget looks strange since the update with much of the widget blacked out but it is functional.

Update: the bug in the “start new week” button was fixed within a day or two of submitting this original review. Customer service is great! The widget showing my safe-to-spend is still looking funky with black all around the number but the safe-to-spend is still visible.

I LOVE Weekly. It’s really simple and the layout is very user friendly and aesthetically pleasing. I really like how it makes sure I have enough money for bills and shows me how much I have to spend for a week rather than a time period too short or too long. Although, something that would make Weekly so much better is setting limits and improving notifications. I find myself spending too much money on food and I would like if it allowed me to make a limit on how much money I can spend on Eating Out along with the ability to send me a notification that I am close to reaching that limit for example. Customizable notifications that can tell me to stop spending money on food after spending $50 or even default ones that tell me how much money I have left everyday of the week (like in the morning) would be amazing and would make Weekly even better.

I have never reviewed an app until today. I have used a budgeting spreadsheet for years to allocate for myself a certain amount to spend each week. This spreadsheet took so much time to update expenses manually. I’ve tried the other apps and nothing breaks things down this app the way I like until I found Weekly. Weekly does everything my spreadsheet did and saves me so much time not having to enter things manually as it links to accounts. Being able to review each transaction and label it into the correct category is a DREAM. Most budgeting apps assume where each expense goes and doesn’t allow you to customize.

For years I have used and paid for the majority of the budget apps available. This one is my keeper!

The most important difference is that it has helped me to be successful by thinking in smaller time and money chunks about my available “cash”.

Other budget apps have you categorize every fixed and non-fixed expense over the period of a month, but they always leave me trying to figure out how much “cash” I should have available. A month is a long time to focus on, and I typically spent more than I needed to.

With this app, you concentrate on smaller more manageable time and money chunks. I have begun to think of each week as a contest, which I almost always win, and I transfer my “winnings” into my savings. (Which are now growing five times more than they were prior to using this app).

I now have my adult children using it successfully and am recommending it to friends!

this app is well thought out and most importantly the developer is actively working to continuously improve Weekly so I know it will only get better. It gets five stars from me because of the success I am having using it!

Keep up the great work this app!!

Weekly has changed my life and my spending habits.

Weekly is simpler, more intuitive and better designed than every budgeting app I’ve ever tried. However, where Weekly really shines is in it’s ethos.

I am obsessed with how easy it is to stay on track with my goals. Before this app, I was constantly checking my accounts and every purchase gave me anxiety. I love knowing what I can spend day to day without worrying about compromising my saving and investing goals. I love being able to see a summary of my accounts and spending over time. I love closing out the previous week and starting fresh for the next week. Weekly gives you a ton of agency over your finances and it always encourages me to make good choices. I never check my bank accounts any more, I don’t fret over a nice dinner with friends and I invest more in my future at the same time.

I show Weekly to my friends and family like I’m being paid on commission for them to sign up. I can’t wait to see how Weekly improves and evolves over time. Thank you to the developers for making such an awesome and affordable app that does almost all of the heavy lifting when it comes to budgeting. 🩷

It’s a bummer that it costs money but I have to admit it’s worth it. I tried to budget for myself but found myself overspending constantly. Never thought id spend money to save money. I don’t link my bank accounts because I prefer to manually enter what I spend. It has you input what you make in a month and then input your bills. Then it gives you an amount you can spend throughout the week for gas , food , anything extra. THEN when the week starts you can roll over any remaining amount. I have peace of mind that I’ll have enough for my bills. I don’t have to think about if I can afford a bill at the end of the month when I’m thinking about buying something I don’t necessarily need. Then panic at the end of the month when things don’t add up.

After years of refusing to pay for a budgeting app, I finally gave in. I manage my finances in a variety of ways, (Personal Capital, Wave accounting, etc.). These options are great for insight but they don’t have a true budgeting ability. I’ve tried all of the other budgeting apps, but I’ve never found one that worked for my family or that I was willing to pay for, until I find this app.

Weekly is super simple to use, yet much more effective at corralling my family’s spending, than trying to dig through various reports with my wife each month. Life has went from we need to spend less on X to now knowing this is how much we can spend and still be within our means.

The developers of Weekly are also super responsive and ready to assist!

I have struggled with the monthly budget apps for years. They are either too complicated or overly simplified. The rigidity of the “every dollar has a job” is perfect for the extreme detailed oriented users, however for the rest of us we would like to live this app, knowing how much we can spend after we have pocketed away cash for bills, funds, and savings. I have recommended Weekly to many friends and family, and will continue to do so.

Weekly itself is well made, and I can only make a couple of suggestions. 1) a family subscription plan would be very helpful, and 2) a landscape view for iPad users could provide better use of the larger screen size. Both of these would move an already great app up about 10 notches.

I’ve actually never written an app review but this app has changed my life and made it easy to save and track my spending. I’m a college student so it’s hard to stick to a strong budget, because let’s be honest—I love spending money on unnecessary things like shopping and eating out with my friends. I also have a lot of payments I need to make like my rent, my credit card, groceries, textbooks, etc, and this app makes it very easy to set aside the money I need to have in my account so that I can know exactly what I have left to spend on having fun :) What I love the most is the UI! It’s incredibly intuitive and takes about five minutes to become an expert at compared to how other budget apps can be a bit convoluted. Great choice for people like me who are living independently for the first time!

I have tried many budgeting apps from super detailed to basic information. My main challenge has always been I don’t live on a monthly budget. I live this app even though I do get paid once a month. At the end of the month I was usually low on cash. Also tracking my spending was difficult with all the transactions etc. I even resorted to a this app cash envelope system. Weekly is super simple. It covers recurring bills and then the rest is your free to spend cash. So for example gas, most budget apps would put that as a recurring so I would put $209 for the month. But then one week I would spend $65 and then the next week I would spend $40 due to gas price fluctuations. I could never really see if I had surplus or went over until the end of the month. Here the transaction comes up and it takes it from free to spend. If your under it only takes that exact amount from free to spend. So guess what I can see the extra $5 for a latte! Hope all of this makes sense. It’s definitely worth it for me to live with a this app allowance.

this app is a great app for tracking my budget. It is very easy to understand, pretty flexible, and has lots of neat tricks that help me see what my money looks like. I appreciate it for how simple it is and yet how powerful it is too. Definitely the best app for me since I try to budget everything on a this app basis. However I think it would even be good for someone trying to do things on a longer time too, it easily lets me put in bills that only come up once a quarter and it automatically calculates how much I need to save for them each week. Overall a great experience, and when I requested a new feature (splitting a purchase into multiple budgets) it was added a few months later by the developer and I got a personal email about it! So awesome. Highly recommend as a great way to track spending.

I started looking for a new budgeting app when my issues with Mint became too frustrating to ignore. I wanted something that would help me keep track of my recurring expenses and monitor my cash flow, without having to anticipate and categorize every possible cost. Something that would automatically import my transactions, but wouldn't incorrectly auto-categorize them, forcing me to waste time chasing down miscategorized transactions. Something that would let me account for special expenses or limited periods of unusually high spending, like vacations, without requiring me to either wreck my monthly numbers or force-ignore every transaction. And most importantly, something that wouldn't interrupt my efforts to budget with ads or sketchy investment suggestions. this app is that thing. If you recogize yourself in anything I said above, give Weekly a try.

I have been looking for years for an app to help me with my shopping/overspending problems due to OCD and anxiety. Weekly is wonderful because it lets me know exactly how much is safe to spend each week or month depending on what you want to be viewing. I like that it has, the option to view things, monthly or this app, or you can input a custom time like biweekly or every three months. This has changed my life in the best way, and it probably sounds silly, but I’ve been struggling for so long with budgeting and this has been a godsend. There have been a couple of glitches, but the few times I have reached out to customer support, I got a response very very quickly and things were fixed. Thank you so much for beautiful app that is simple to use and actually helpful, and for having great customer service/support.

I’ve tried all sorts of budgeting apps: Mint, YNAB, PocketGuard, Emma, and more. I liked some better than others, but I was never fully comfortable with any. They weren’t as user friendly as I wanted, were loaded down with too much superfluous stuff, or they were too expensive. I stumbled across this app in an app search and was intrigued by the demo video. I decided to give it a try. WOW! Weekly’s approach is so streamlined and efficient, I no longer feel like budgeting is something I’m incapable of! The developers clearly understand that more isn’t always better and obviously put a lot of thought into creating Weekly. Its wonderfully designed, easy to use, and I love the strategy of operating on a this app basis and only focusing on one number throughout that week. Finally a budgeting app that makes me feel confident about budgeting! My only regret is that I didn’t find this app sooner!

Hands down the easiest budgeting app that actually works ! I have tried mint, Dave Ramsey, and many others and this simplifies it down to what you really need> how much can I spend a WEEK ( especially for tight incomes) vs A MONTH ( more apt to loose track of financial expenditures/accountability ) . this app has been so much easier to use functionality wise than any other app I have tried! How much this app can I spend all while still saving for vacation , etc. and not have to break down every dollar to zero based income into tiny budget categories. You just put in your bills and put in what you want to save up for and BAM what’s left over is what you get to spend for the week! Let Weekly do the rest for ya ! Don’t go over ! And it links to your bank accounts! And it’s pretty good about syncing for every transaction so you can stay ahead! Win ! Plus you can share with Partner for more household accountability!

It’s been really helpful to focus on sticking to a budget on a this app basis. When my wife and I have $200 a month on shopping, that is usually spent the first week! But this has made it be a timeline that we can be successful on. Feature Suggestion. I love the simple report for Safe To Spend Categories. And today I realized I can input the spending in my recurring categories. Can you create a report showing the recurring categories too? I have items like car & house maintenance as recurring so that I budget to save for expected issues in the future. But it would be sweet to see how my spending aligns with my budget for those items. Or is there some other way you would recommend tracking costs you know will happen, but don’t know precisely when they will or how much they will cost? I don’t want to eat out or go shopping because it was “safe to spend” only to later get a crack in my windshield and have no allocated money to replace it!

By far the best budget app we have ever used. Weekly focuses on what it costs to live and what you have left for the week. It breaks it down so easily for you and gives you hard actual numbers. It doesn’t fill you with graphs or pie charts and tell you where you are “spending wrong”. It simply takes your income and subtracts your bills and tells you what you have left to budget with per week not a month like other apps. Weekly doesn’t make you feel guilty about a budget it makes you figure out how to live your life how you want once you have paid your debts. You choose your lifestyle and spend your money on what you want with what is left but you must adjust your lifestyle to do it within your allowance. It has been a great success for us. I love that it shows you that dollar amount and how easy it is to use. You simply add your transactions in and it automatically subtracts your balance or add more to your account and you add it to your balance. It makes everything virtual and completely eliminates the guessing game.

The “safe-to-spend” approach to budgeting is really refreshing and Weekly itself is very easy to use. So far I’ve used it for about two months and Weekly has easily already paid for itself. The one feature I really wish Weekly supported is to be able to manually enter reoccurring expenses. At first I thought I was doing something wrong but it appears you can only enter expenses as “safe-to-spend” manually. If you use a card that supports plaid, this is much less of an issue, but if you use an Apple Card this becomes a minor-significant issue depending how religious you enjoy tracking your expenses. This isn’t a deal breaker as you can more or less assume that money is spent as it is reoccurring, but it would be nice for that extra visibility especially with the very nice U.I. that shows what bills have been paid. For now my workaround is swapping my auto-pay to the card that supports plaid but I wish I could avoid this in the future.

I am horrible with my money. I love Weekly because it gives you a this app spending limit. I get paid once a month and it’s so hard to budget out a months worth. This breaks it down for me so I don’t have to think about how to budget. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that there’s a widget available on my Home Screen that shows me what my this app spending can be. It’s a constant reminder to me of my finances without feeling overwhelmed. I love the ability to plug in my bills and it reminds me when they are due. Weekly is literally the best. It is pretty accurate too with the syncing to my bank account it may be off here and there but it’s good for me to log it I my bank account to see what’s really going on and have a general idea through Weekly . In my first month I was able to save $300 just being more aware of my spending habits. 5/5!!
