HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (90 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Crashes and freezes22%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have been using it for close to 8 years (absent a couple where I had an android and missed it terribly… plug for an android version), but lately it crashes every time I put in an expense.
★★★★★ App crashes when you try to change end cycle date and will not open again.
★★★★★ So after the update when you open the program it immediately crashes I tried uninstalling and reinstalling still the same it's on my iPad Pro if that matters .
Wrong or poor results17%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ it doesn't have an option for mine and when i use the main one or the one closest to me, it tells me my username or password is wrong when i know it's not.
★★★★★ So I inputted all of my income and expenses. The app tells me I have 32.23 to spend each day. When I multiply that by 30 days, it gives me $290 more money than what I have. Why????
★★★★★ I was expecting that this app would help me track my budget with my actual expenses but that is not what it does at all. The features are confusing & customer support is lacking. They did not respond for 6 days & then…
Worse after an update17%

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Maybe you could add a feature where you can set a money goal to earn. 4★, Apr 4, 2025
  • The only thing I would love to see eventually is a way to connect to your bank, just because sometimes I'm afraid I will miss a transaction when I enter it manually. 5★, Oct 17, 2023
  • Super simple, but it has everything you could ever need and the simplicity only makes it easy to use!! 5★, Dec 26, 2022
  • I wish that the app would total each category daily but it's simple to use and it totals your daily expenses without a lot of fuss. 4★, Mar 12, 2022
  • Best of all it does not need any bank information or anything like that, you fill in the numbers yourself. 5★, Nov 16, 2021
  • I like using this app, but I do wish there was an option to have a different income every time, because I work hourly and get different amounts of income every time I get paid. 4★, Sep 5, 2021
  • I wish there was a way I could subtract from those categories. 4★, Apr 14, 2021
  • Ex: I pre-budget $70 for gas each month so daily it takes out that amount (spanned across 30 days.) I wish that when I went and put it that I spent $20 on gas it can remove that $20 from my gas budget and not my… 4★, Apr 14, 2021

★★★★★Aug 30, 2026
Love it!

I have told so many people about this app! It makes budgeting like a game and works great for people who will never stick to a category style budget (like me!). This just helps you stick to your limits but offers immediate gratification daily if you do!

★★★★★Jun 20, 2026
Simple is best!

Great way to keep track of non-essential budget & spending

★★★★★Jun 3, 2026
Really 5 stars

I love this app. I have been using it for close to 8 years (absent a couple where I had an android and missed it terribly… plug for an android version), but lately it crashes every time I put in an expense. I know this was supposed to be fixed by the most recent update, but it hasn’t fixed it for me. I will change this review, but I couldn’t find any other way to communicate with the developer since I don’t have the Reddit app and it won’t let me see the page without it. I’m hoping the 1 star review will get seen and then I can change or remove this review

★★★★★Apr 10, 2026
Love the ease

Really good user interface. I have ADHD, so I often get these apps that are supposed to help me stay on track but that usually fails. This one is so easy to remember and interact with; it’s like using calculator

★★★★★Jan 24, 2026
Still Using Daily After 5 Yrs

I’ve been using this app for 5 yrs and love it. The daily budget home screen lets me quickly see how I’m doing compared to my income and savings goals so I can adjust accordingly. I tried using apps that connect automatically to bank, credit cards, etc. but realized that for me, I needed the tangibility of entering in each expense. Highly recommend!

★★★★★Jan 6, 2026
Completely recommend!

I love this app very much. Daily budget has become an app I use everyday. I enjoy having a widget on my home screen that shows my daily spending limit! I love the simplicity and there’s no subscription or ads! I truly think my life is changed. I have recommended this app to all my friends!

Life Changing - I am the WORST with finances and I've tried other apps, including Mint, which I used for a week and quit. But this app?? It's amazing. I can't speak highly enough of how much this app is getting my life together. I'm aggressively saving, paying off all of my bills and I know exactly what I get to spend a day. I will never NOT use this. I hope it's here forever. Helps you be Accountable - This app turns my financial life into a game that I feel I can win.
