My Budgets 4+

I like this app, the interface is easy to understand, transactions and categories are easy to enter, and it's easy to see at a glance where you are for the month.

Two things needed to make this a five star app for me. First, There is no way to ask a question or any contact information within the app itself. Second, there is no way to add a one time increase to a single category for a single month. Additional income will increase the overall budget, but there's no way to assign that single overage to a category, it just stays in the overall bucket.

I’ve been searching for a new budget app since the one I was using was no longer supported. This one looked like it might work and it came close. I like that it’s fairly simple (I don’t need to connect to bank account, etc.), easy to use, and I’m not limited to how many categories I can create. I didn’t like that all budgets have to be on the same cycle. On my previous app I could set some budgets weekly, some monthly, and some annually. My biggest issue is that I can’t add money back into a budget. For example if I make a purchase then return all or part, that money can’t be added back. The app allows an “income entry” which is in green like an addition but the amount is actually subtracted. Fortunately I checked the balance for accuracy. And why is the keyboard set up like a phone (1,2,3 at top) vs. calculator (1,2,3, at bottom). Seems a financial app should work like calculator.

I love this app. I appreciate the fact that it lets me run totally separate budgets for different income streams. Also, a HUGE plus is that I can export the data to a spreadsheet. Customizable categories are perfect, and I like that you can record transactions without setting a budget first - for example, when I started, I had no idea what I spent on groceries, so I didn't set a budget - I just recorded transactions. That gave me a good idea of how I was spending my money, and so in following months, I can budget according to actuals. Very cool! The reporting function is great to help you visualize where your money is going. Settings aren't 100% intuitive, but poking around will help you figure them out...And it's worth it!!!
