Budget App - Spending Tracker Reviews

by Paslpc

Added review: recurring still confusing and so is the new installments feature. I don’t understand why it’s set up to not show until the day of payment comes. That makes it difficult to remember what has already been entered. Other entries put in separately each month show up even if the day hasn’t come yet so why not recurring?

Recurring or even future payments should show up for the month regardless of whether that day has come yet. When I enter recurring expenses, it’s because I want to know from day 1 what my set expenses are for the month. If it doesn’t show until that day, I don’t have a true total to work with to know what I have available for other spending throughout the month. Also, credit card/account tracking needs a start/end date feature. I track my credit card usage not from beginning to end of month but from beginning to end of the billing cycle. It helps me know what my next statement balance will be as I pay them off each billing period.

Love BudgetApp . Very nice interface and love the Apple Watch support, which makes entering expenses instantly that much easier. However it’s lacking two key features essential to a budget app. The ability to carry forward a surplus or deficit in a category month to month (or the time period of your choosing). The other feature is that you can’t have an income tied to an expense for the same category. As an example. Let’s say you pay for season tickets to a sports team. That’s an expense that counts against your budget in a category you’ve called entertainment. But you also sell some of the tickets and generate income which you’d want to subtract from the amount spent in that entertainment category. If these features are added then it’s easily a 5 star app!

BudgetApp is amazing, simple but with enough features to be a well rounded one stop shop budget app. HOWEVER. i purchased the lifetime membership months ago, and when i try to restore the purchase on my ipad it tells me ‘purchase was successful’, but then when i try to use a premium feature like change BudgetApp icon, it prompts me again to buy premium. and now after the most recent update BudgetApp does not stay open longer than 30 seconds. i tried restarting my phone - didn’t fix it. i tried deleting and redownloading BudgetApp since all my data is in icloud - didn’t fix it, and now i have the same membership issue on my phone! even though i paid the money for premium! i suddenly can’t use what i paid for and can’t even use BudgetApp because it crashes almost immediately after opening. if you could fix whatever bug is preventing me from successfully restoring my purchase, and the bug crashing BudgetApp right after opening, this is a five star app. however as it is now i’m quite frustrated

First off, the good. BudgetApp is clean, (mostly) stable, and I love that it syncs across all my devices via iCloud. It also has a growing list of setting, icons, etc, and you can really customize the general look and feel of things. Also, the developer doesn’t collect data and I love the focus on privacy first. Now, the bad. The importer is borderline unusable. You’re told to please “select a category.” But there is no way to just import only the date and transaction and assign a category later. That makes it a pain to get through and ruins one of the main reasons I got BudgetApp . And also, there just needs to be a wiki or something for how to navigate BudgetApp . Often times it’s not intuitive to work through, and you really have to do a lot of setting up and tweaking before knowing exactly what the developer’s philosophy is on how to budget. That brings me to another thing - please give us the ability to use the envelop method to budget and to be able to reassign dollars for other uses. Right now you really just set a limit for a category and it’s hard to roll with the punches. Also, worth noting, there’s a support section of BudgetApp . I reached out to the developer to ask some of these things directly but never heard back.

BudgetApp helps us keep track of our budget every month, it’s really useful, however we would like the ability to start our month on a certain date and end on a certain date to sync with our charge card billing cycle. I see the option to do it but it does not work, also when changing the start date and the end date to show us transactions for only between those 2 dates it reverts to the month ahead as the start date. For example, I’ve set the start date to show transactions from September 27th and when I press confirm it shows up as October 27th.

Other than that it’s really cool that we can sync data between our two phones.

by Jimmy19746

Great app that makes budgeting simple and easy. I like the layout and how efficient it is to keep up to date on budgeting. No more excel sheets for me! A few improvement requests and why I took off one star: - For certain budget categories sometimes the percent spent value is not accurate because it adds up the previous month value so it looks like you’ve spent more than you actually did. The value on the card when you can see all the categories is correct though so not sure why it would be different. - I would like to be able to choose whether I want to see how much is left or how much I’ve spent on a category. This would be helpful on the widget because then I can quickly see how much I have left to spend for a category without having to do the math to find out.

by I Just Want Front Camera

for some reason, its difficult for me to be able to track exactly how much im EXPECTED to spend per month. the calendar total at the bottom only shows how much ive spent only if ive manually inputed it for that day, however my recurring expenses are not included in the accumulative total at the bottom. i dont remember every subscription i have and dont really want to input them every month in order for BudgetApp to add them up for me, but it seems thats the only way you can.

also, when i click on a category, id like to be able to see just that months expenses in the history and not all the months before. it crowds the list and there should be a setting to filter only the month im looking at

all in all, its the easiest and best budgeting app ive used so far and i also even have the lifetime membership. theres just a few setting options and/or features thats missing that would make it a 5 star ⭐️

by Macaroni Dan

I love BudgetApp. It’s so easy to use, the budgets are clearly & aesthetically organized, and you have an option to track your savings in multiple different accounts.

I just wish it had a bit more room for customization! Number one, I wish there was an option to display the money remaining in the budgets rather than the total spent. It’s way easier to know at a glance how much you can afford.

Number two, I wish in the savings portion there was a way to have multiple ledgers. I have a long term savings that I want to keep track of, and then a short-term savings. I wish I could keep track of the total in the short term savings account (and still divide into separate subcategories) without having those totals lumped in with my long-term savings. I’m going to stick with BudgetApp and hope this becomes an option in the future!

by Delibirf

Fits my needs mostly. Clean layout, easy to add purchases, and gives me a breakdown of percentages left in my budgets/what I’ve spent. I wish there was an option for my total monthly spend budget in a ledger to automatically sync with the total sum of all budget categories instead of having to add up and double check that I’ve mathed and entered everything properly, and I’ve seen some people wish they could easily move money between budgets in a ledger. That could be useful, but for me the visual aspect of everything (seeing I have overspent in some places and underspent in others) is helpful as I can evaluate the accuracy of my budget if this happens more often in certain categories. I’ve tried a loooooot of these apps, and none are nearly as conducive to the needs of a visual processor while also keeping categories separate so I don’t confuse myself. I also like that I just have to click one button to add a purchase. This is the only budgeting app I’ve been able to use for more than 3 weeks at a time and I’m probably going on a year now. Was happy to purchase the full version, but I hope to see some of those update options in the future

by An Guly Rat 🐀

There are some things I don't like about BudgetApp. Savings are removed from net worth which is just silly. It's no good for keeping track of bills that aren't on auto pay. The spending graph shown in BudgetApp store's advertisement is different from what's really in BudgetApp ; it lumps smaller spending categories together so you can't just look and see where the money goes. I also wish that you could see your budget history after setting up a new budget; they want you to have either a fixed recurring budget that always looks the same, or no history of previous budgets. Not good for freelancers.
At the end of the day though, it was the best I could find. I've tried different apps, and this is the one that stuck. It has a good UI, it's very customisable, and it's flexible about when payments hit. I took the one-time purchase, which was on discount for the first few days. I usually take a long time to consider such things, but after comparing to its competitors, I decided it's the best I can do for now.

by Crystyl Woods

Really great app, in my opinion. It does almost everything I want it to! I have a personal problem with some of the categories stuff but overall nothing major.

I do have one minor issue recently though. It’s not anything big but when I look at my total transactions (my preferred look as it can show me everything), I noticed a transaction with * next to it. It probably came from when I tried to figure out the reoccurring charges (which I decided not to use as it’s easier for me not to), but I can’t figure out how to remove it. There’s nothing under the reoccurring category and when I go to the transactions there’s nothing for that date. If anybody can help me with fixing this I’d really appreciate it!

by From IPhone

Great app with variety of features and I personally love the UI and the general layout of everything. But it’s a little bit disappointing that cloud sync is very slow. Sometimes I would use BudgetApp on my iPad and sometimes on my phone. Everytime I switch to the other device I have to manually turn off and then turn on the sync button to sync the data. I hope later versions would solve this issue. Besides, I have a small complain about the support for keyboard and trackpad of iPad version. Right now when you enter the amount in BudgetApp you have to use the keypad on screen even though the iPad is connected with a keyboard device. If there is the option to enter the number through keyboard instead of keypad that would be great. Overall amazing app and look forward to seeing later updates and improvements.

by Soloheroina

This is a fantastic app. I have been using it for a week and it has helped me organize my spending a ton. A couple things that could be improved on: Having a subcategory with its own budget should come with some kind of visual indicators on where you are on that budget. For example category "parking" under main category "car" has a budget of a $100 monthly, but you cant see its budget when you go to enter an amount. Only if you go to the budget section and then click into the category. Possibly could implement a multi-ring system where if a category has subcategories with their own budgets, theres a colored ring for each subcategory each with their own progress bar. Also no rollover function as far as I can tell. For example if i set a weekly budget of "food" for $10 and i only use $5, id like to see a function where next week the budget has that leftover $5 added to it. Lastly, it is slightly unintuitive. I feel like there should be an instruction video or something that teaches you how to use all these features. Ik its complicated trying to pack a lot into an app and still have a useable UI, but at least teach on how to navigate it. the first time i used BudgetApp i gave up because of how much was going on. BudgetApp is great but it could be a lot better.

by SReanJ

So I bought BudgetApp and also the habit tracker. Wasn’t too much to just buy lifetime membership so I could have all the benefits. I love the way it looks and how much you can customize. Only downside is that when checking your transactions it doesn’t load them all. Very hard to see my spending for the month so far and it won’t load my pay for the month so it says I’m in the negative. Also some transactions won’t be there right away so I’d have to check later or sometimes the next day for it to show. Hopefully this problem will be worked on with another update but other that that I have no complaints about BudgetApp!

by Orangechocogoodness

I like BudgetApp but the recurring inputs are off. If you go into the settings and put them in it shows in that settings window but not on the calendar with transactions. If you input recurring in the actual budget window for a certain card, it works sometimes or it doesn’t show the repeating transactions on the calendar at all. Or no matter how many times you change the recurring date it still processes as today and doesn’t update. Aaannnd they don’t host my bank. But besides that i like BudgetApp . If necessary i just won’t use recurring and just do the transactions manually. The rest of BudgetApp is great.

by Fttdtbftbfubtcbuft

BudgetApp is good. There’s no bugs there’s no anything that I hate about it. I love BudgetApp . BudgetApp is really well-made. I love the people that made it really would help me because I could use money so I don’t have to think about what I spend a ton because I am broke and I would like to just have something that I could just type in how much I spent and you could tell me how much money I had left that I could spent for other stuff because I am living on the side of the road and the road is pretty dirty and it’s all gross and disgusting so I’m just hoping that the owners and you guys realize what I’m going through because I’m going through a lot specially because my dog died and made me really sad

As someone who has always struggled with keeping track of my spending, I was thrilled to discover the Spending Tracker - Budget App. BudgetApp has been a game-changer for me when it comes to managing my finances.

The interface is clean and user-friendly, and it was easy to get started. I was able to set up categories for all my expenses and start tracking my spending right away. I love that I can see all my transactions in real-time, so I always know how much money I have left in each category.

What really sets BudgetApp apart for me, though, is the budgeting feature. I've always had trouble sticking to a budget, but BudgetApp has made it much easier. I can set up a budget for each category, and BudgetApp will alert me when I'm getting close to my limit. It's helped me become much more mindful about my spending, and I've been able to save more money as a result.

I also appreciate the reports and insights that BudgetApp provides. It's eye-opening to see where I'm spending the most money and where I can cut back. And the ability to export my data and analyze it further has been incredibly helpful.

Overall, I would highly recommend the Spending Tracker - Budget App to anyone who wants to take control of their finances. It's easy to use, customizable, and has all the features you need to track your spending and stick to a budget.

Whole life have struggled to manage own money. Knew I was spending too much but couldn’t figure out why. Now, with Budget, I finally understand where it’s all going (and when NOT to spend) without any complex calculations on my part. Rather, you categorize your spending into custom buckets and let BudgetApp do the rest to include creating custom reports to show your spending patterns as well as to calculate your total net worth (all savings vs all debt). It’s all based upon whatever you choose to enter without any direct links to any financial institution which is fine by me for security purposes.

For any novice, BudgetApp is simple to use after practicing a bit and you can customize recurring payments (such as subscriptions). My favorite feature is setting a monthly spending limit and then trying to stick to it which is tough and revealing at the same time. There is even a calendar view where you can enter and view precisely how much you spend each day.

Best of all - the (optional) cloudsave feature to Apple (as backup for past entries) which have done…whew.

Get Budget and empower your financial future! Thanks for creating this affordable lifetime app!

by JustMyOpinionHere

I like the soft colors because it’s not overwhelming when you look at BudgetApp . I like that you can see your income/expenses on the monthly calendar by the day and it shows at the bottom as totals. If you forget to put down either items, you can enter it anytime and change the date so it’s placed on the correct day. You can set up saving goals or budget limits for specific categories.
For a few dollars, you’ll have unlimited and more access to making different expense categories, income and it saves it all on your phone without taking much space. The free version is great for people who doesn’t like to have too many categories since it only allows around 4 categories (i.e. gas, food, utilities, miscellaneous) and don’t care for much details.
There’s so many things you can do with BudgetApp when it comes to your finances. This is definitely my go to.
I’m able to input and delete with just a few clicks. Makes it almost effortless to keep track of my spendings and utilities on the go. Would totally recommend it to anyone who wants to track, budget and stay in control of their money. You can add additional people for BudgetApp. But I haven’t tried that out yet.

by Yohuuuuun

I've never written a review for any apps at all even if I love BudgetApp . However, BudgetApp literally changed my financial life for the better.

I've always been the worst at saving and keeping track of where my money goes. I just spend and spend and wonder why I'm left with little to no savings. I have bills to pay so I really need to save and think of a way to budget my spendings and savings.

So I was looking for an app that could help. I tried multiple other apps and this was easily my favorite. Personally, I love putting in all my expenses, saving, income, etc. manually. That way I can actually see what's happing with my money. I don't like the automatic things with the other app where you connect your bank account and it immediately deducts it in BudgetApp because then I forget to check how much I have left. So if you really need to keep an eye on your money and how you spend/save it, I would def recommend BudgetApp!

I did get the one time purchase of the full version because I needed the multiple categories, bank accounts, and stuff, but if you don't need too many categories of expensed and income then BudgetApp is still really amazing. I was actually surprised at how inexpensive the one time purchase was--it's a really good investment in my opinion.

But yeah! I'm really happy with BudgetApp and I love it so much!

by Kimberly Angeles

But BudgetApp has single handedly taken me out of my major depression by giving me a major sense of control of all the stressors in my life . It helped me get out of debt greatly I really really recommend spending a little more for the full Budget experience . Thank you for not shoving it in my face every 10 seconds I really really appreciate that and the no ads . I’d honest to my heart say BudgetApp is my happy place because for once in my adhd life I feel a sense of control and order . Thank you sooo so much . Whoever invented BudgetApp I want to kiss you in the mouth !!! Also can you make BudgetApp more customisable I would like to change the color order of my cards , labels , and background to magenta or hot pink I spend a lot of time staring at BudgetApp and the yellow is very bland and boring . Maybe a lime green would be up lifting or cuter pastels

by Yudithjess

Love all the features BudgetApp offers. The ability to create different multiple ledgers and access each so quickly gives it an advantage over other apps. My ledgers are (personal, joint, and one for my small business). You can create multiple budgets within each ledger for all your needs, for example my personal ledger contains budgets for reoccurring, car expenses, meals, impulse buys, self care,healthcare, dental, school, etc. within each budget category you can notate expenses and assign them to an account. There’s also savings, etc. Although I love BudgetApp I do wish there was an ability to access from the web online or be able to have a log in/log off function instead of being forced to use Apple ID attached to the phone, also being able to see where you are in your budget (remain of budget) within the ledger instead of seeing a closing circle would be helpful.

by WendyBarnes001

I have tried for years to get my debt under control, always ending with me in tears after throwing my hands in the air screaming F@#&!!!! With BudgetApp I was actually able to document all my credit card debt, monthly spending, and bills. Even though I’m still in tears from the debt I’m in, I haven’t thrown my hands or gave up, and honestly, I have hope for the first time because everything is nicely organized and I can start working on getting out of debt. My only wish is that I could access it on my computer only because it’s hard for me to work from my phone cuz I’m older. Thank You so much for creating this tool and offering it a reasonable cost that I can buy, it’s worth a whole lot more, but then I wouldn’t be able to afford it. I have the premium. THANK YOU!!!!

by FoodMmm

It is by far the easiest method I’ve found to make sure my credit card, receipts and budget are reconciled to each other at all times. In the past, I always liked to reconcile my physical receipts to my credit card at the end of the month, which can be pretty labor intensive depending on how much you spend throughout the month. Using BudgetApp has saved me HOURS and HOURS each month since now I just log the receipt into my app each time I purchase. As long as my app ties to my card, then things are good and no month end reconciliation needed!! I also LOVE that each category (food, gas, etc…) can have a limit set with a fun sliding green/red scale. When the scale is green, spend away! The bar moves as you spend. When it turns red, well, it’s just time to stop spending. There’s always next month. It keeps me honest with myself….and hopefully one day RICH! 😉

by Katt B.

I love everything about BudgetApp in organization and ease of access it’s supper well organized I love the ledgers and different budgets and how you can organize them. I also love the calendar function, accounts, and credit. Though It would be nice to see how much was in a budget at a glance as well as how much was spent

The hard thing for me is I budget with envelopes meaning that instead of a budget that tells me how much I plan on spending, I make an envelope for a purpose that I put money into and then take out of. this envelope can be positive or negative to show that I’ve over spent. This easily tells me how much money I can spend, how much I’ve over spent, and allows me to transfer excess money between envelopes to cover negatives or shift to other purposes. My previous app was NeoBudget which was an envelope system but wasn’t nearly as nice as BudgetApp.

With that all in mind I think it’d be nice to have an option for a budget that you can add to and subtract from and holds its balance. I tried to do so with 1 time budgets but there’s no way to add funds to it.

by Asuni_M

I’ve downloaded and used at least 10 different budget apps. This is the only one I’ve found that combines everything I want in a budget app. 1: I can input all the information manually rather than being forced to sync a bank account or debit card 2: lets me set myself a limit for spending and tells me when I go over 3: doesn’t drive me insane with trying to figure out how it works. BudgetApp is so simple to use literally anyone can use it 4: let’s me see how my money is being spent. When what days I spent money and what days I imported money 5: is super cheap to get if you want to unlock more features. The lifetime sub is only 8$ (US Currency) and let’s you do almost anything you can dream of. I bought it and love it I absolutely love BudgetApp and even had a friend download it. I can finally see what I’m spending money on, how much is spent, set goals/limits, and adjust if needed. There’s no hassle and only gain. I wish I found BudgetApp sooner but I guess it’s better late than never.

by Shan00042

I wanted an app that made it simple to keep track of how much I’m spending and on what, without bothering me about budgeting. BudgetApp does exactly that - with the clean design on BudgetApp , the widgets, and the watch app, it is stupidly easy to record spending in real time. Then within BudgetApp there are graphs and pie charts to tell me how much I’ve spent and when and on what. Exactly what I wanted. There’s also a lot more than I wanted and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. For example, the ability to do calculator like math when entering an expense, and the ability to choose what currency you spent it. So far I’ve loved everything about BudgetApp! For the developer: my only feedback is that there are several features in BudgetApp that I don’t understand (accounts for instance). And I can’t find any help pages or documentation to tell me what these are or how to use them.

by Online Worker

BudgetApp is a game-changer for anyone looking to manage their finances efficiently. The user-friendly interface makes it incredibly easy to track expenses, create budgets, and even forecast costs with accuracy. It offers a wide range of features like customizable budget categories, real-time spending analysis, and automated reminders, which ensure that you stay on top of your financial goals. One of the standout features is its affordability compared to other apps, it offers premium functionalities at a fraction of the cost. Whether you're managing personal finances, project costs, or small business expenses, BudgetApp simplifies the process without burning a hole in your pocket. For anyone seeking a powerful yet budget-friendly tool for managing expenses and creating cost-effective plans, BudgetApp is a must-have! Feel free to adjust any part to suit your needs! -Akash Mahmud

Update:
Omigosh! Thank you so much to the creators of BudgetApp! They sent me a link to unlock premium!! These are the sweetest creators ever, they truly care for their users!! THANK YOU 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

BudgetApp is absolutely wonderful! I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt the need to for this one. It’s so practical and easy to use! I’m a full-time college student with the typical low, unstable budget. Additionally, I have ADHD, so staying focused and remembering to manage my money and spending is challenging. The Budget app helps me so much. The widget on my phone is a great constant reminder, and BudgetApp is so perfectly and simply designed that it takes little to no time for me to log my spending. The easy visualization of my finances allows me to quickly understand where my money is going, where I need to cut back, and when I need to save. BudgetApp is perfect for me and helps in more ways than I can express. I’ve been able to save so much money, which my parents are very thankful for—LOL! Thank you so much Budget!!!

by -Addy B

I love BudgetApp!! I totally recommend to anyone (especially teens like me) who deals with money, so basically everyone. Super easy to use and perfect for keeping track of money. Other apps want you link a bank account, BudgetApp allows you to do that or not. You can track cash, different accounts, borrowed money, lent money, and loaned money. Any expenses that can be categorized into different groups. Track bills, income, savings, etc. Basically BudgetApp does everything!! If you are planning on keeping track of your money this coming year this is the right app for you! btw i was not paid to write this i honestly just recommend!!

by Liveardently

Let me precede this by explaining that I’m a homeschool mom with multiple kids, in extreme budgeting mode for medical reasons. I’ve downloaded every one of their apps to balance anything from making sure I take care of myself (vitamins, workouts, meditation) to making sure my kids do their “checkmarks” for school tasks and chores. Their Home Screen widgets work perfectly to keep our priorities on hand.

I’m writing this review as I prep to upgrade the budgeting app from free to paid, to sync up with my husband and meet a massive savings goal. I really value that this developer offers a lifetime premium account since renewals tend to really stress us out. 10/10 would recommend.

by CL10225

Very straight forward easy-to-use app. Does not connect to your banks over the internet which is exactly what I wanted. The manual data entry method works better for me because it adds a little friction on spending decisions. I have tried a whole bunch of apps and this one works best for me. Mostly because of its simplicity and ability to set any timeframe you want for budgeting. I use a yearly budget, but you can set it any way you like. A lot of apps force your to set monthly budgets only with no flexibility.

The Developer is very responsive. I found a small bug and emailed support, it was fixed quickly in an update - Thank you

Highly recommend BudgetApp.

by Resist_potat12

After using other apps that automatically calculate spending from my bank, I felt that there was lack of accountability for myself. While contemplating the cash method, I thought to look one more time for an app that had what I was looking for, and I found it! BudgetApp lets me track spending easily into categories. I love the feature where I can add notes about what I spent it on specifically and where. It’s not something that is 100% convenient, but that’s not what I wanted. If you’re someone that’s looking for a way to track purchases and reflect on what you’ve bought, this is it.

by Everything Else Is Taken 101

So far I am loving BudgetApp! Easy to navigate and easy on the eyes as far as aesthetics go. However, I just started using the budget feature and I’m a little confused. Even tho I’ve set up the budget in February, there’s a red circle closed circle and expenses show as a high amount which I’m thinking past expenses are being added to February’s budget. I have some things set as monthly and others as a one time budget. Is there any way to somehow refresh the budgets over the month is over? It’s confusing when it shows over payment in categories that I haven’t even spent money in yet. Besides that, I do love BudgetApp !

by Sandeep.rao

This may be a big change for me, buying app within first 2 days of use and writing a review after 4 days. I think I found a budget/expense tracker which meets almost all the feature I needed in budget app and I am yet to explore all features. I am personally not big fan of apps which need syncing bank data (even if it mean manually entering expenses). So guys please keep it this way. I see many apps changing over period to mandatory sync feature.
Few suggestion: editing and adding new category is very tedious through settings, ability to turn a transaction in recurrence even while editing, ability to have different currency for each ledger or account.

by Musik_Chick

I love BudgetApp. I’ve tried others in the past and they required way too much micromanagement, to the point I stopped using them within a week or so. Well I’m on my 3rd month using this to keep track of my expenses. It’s very simple and straight forward - no overwhelming tables. I also LOVE that it is a one time fee, not a subscription. (Always felt it was counter-intuitive to pay a monthly fee when the goal is to get ahold of your finances, presumably by spending less.)
Thank you to the developers! I’m finally learning to manage my money effectively - something that’s been a lifelong struggle for me.

by Jakerich432

I debated between a program that pulls in my transactions to show my monthly expenses so I can categorize them (perhaps use Plaid future update?) but I’m all about speed and this allows you to add expenses so quick that you’ll find yourself looking for reasons to buy or log expenses!

As for qualms still trying to figure out the way i could add credit cards to the category (shopping etc) so that we could track when we should pay for them off and subtract debt from my categories.
That probably is in the paid version, so I’ll go investigate that, but other then that everything else was pretty easy/self explanatory.

by Iliogky

I have tried multiple apps but this one is the most simple and organized app. I like how I can customize the categories, colors, symbols and even the order of my categories. I like that I can switch between my daily budget and my business budget. Moving transactions from one category to another is so easy. I love that I can view my spendings for the day, week, month, year or all time.

One thing I did notice is that BudgetApp sometimes glitches and doesn’t always save my notes I add to transactions. Doesn’t always happen, but I hope that gets fixed.

Love BudgetApp i have been looking for a pay once app that allows me to view and manage multiple accounts AND allow me to manually put in transactions from my Apple Watch and this is perfect! I got this when it was on sale in BudgetApp for $5 instead of $8 and it’s so worth it!

My only suggestion would be if there could be Apple Watch Complications that show data like the Widgets do. Or even at least a complication that allows me to access BudgetApp more quickly.

I really love BudgetApp and want to be able to use it to it’s full potential!

I used to use excel for budgeting. Don’t get me wrong, it did the job. I had all formulas ready for input of transactions and everything but BudgetApp is just so much better. Calendar for transactions helps you visualize your day to day net spend. It also shows you your P/L for the month/ year as well. The net worth tracker is also cool. I like how you can input stocks and cryptocurrencies and the prices are tracked automatically instead of you manually having to update prices each week. Overall very pleased. I got the lifetime subscription.

Number 1 reason I bought it was because I liked the looks of it. On top of that I didn’t have to put in anything more than the amounts of my cards, I believe others that I tried wanted me to connected them and I didn’t feel comfortable with that.

I do think there’s a bug on the iPad that causes the savings to close when you pick a date. I’ve experienced this in my phone as well but it was when I went back a month. For the iPad I couldn’t even enter a day it occurred, which was only a few days back.

Overall is good! It’s pretty easy to add/edit records and can be reviewed in calendar view or a report with various diagrams. There’s an unique feature which makes BudgetApp stand out is shared ledger! You can invite others to track cash flow with you in the same ledger and the records will sync seamlessly. The only one thing that I do really love to see in the future is “shared account” so that the net value can also be synced, and thus reduce the duplicated manual process for adding spending account individually.

i’ve been using BudgetApp for months now (though not consistently the whole time), and it’s my favorite budget app that i’ve found. the ui is great and i love all the different features, like being able to add in all of my different accounts and have different ledgers. some people may want a budget app that integrates with their accounts so that they don’t have to manually add their transactions, but i honestly love being able to add all of my transactions myself because it gives me a lot of control over how i categorize things. plus, it makes me more aware of my spending and brings me a sense of security.
i recommend BudgetApp! they’re always adding new features and making it better too :)
