When I downloaded FiveCents, it was because it was exactly what I was looking for: An app that (a) did not retain any of my information, and (b) simply allowed me to record and categorize spending. I would be willing to buy the lifetime subscription to it, if it worked properly. (And I will be happy to change my review if it gets fixed.) I am using FiveCents on my iPhone 14. The issue comes in when I try to edit categories or accounts. There is a bug (at least one) in the programming, so far as I can tell, and it is quite obvious. First, in my version of FiveCents (in February 2024) there were originally two of each category and account (that is, there was a duplicate of each one.) This would be no issue if you could edit them. However, it is difficult to change names or add/delete accounts and tell what is going on. When you change the name of an account or category, it does not seem to take effect. Today, I made a change and then restarted FiveCents . That helped, but the labeling is still wonky—if I could figure out how to proceed to make changes to produce the category label I want consistently, even if I had to keep restarting, I would do it. Right now, I haven’t figured out what the right procedure is to get what I want.
To reiterate, I like FiveCents a lot. I do not want something fancy that connects to a bank account—there are lots of those out there. I want this one, and I want it to work right. I will happily give FiveCents 5 stars and buy it, if I can get it to change labels consistently and easily, as I think the developer intended.
