5/5Awesome
It takes me seconds to run my budget with this app, which I am loving. I am a mum of 3 and I need to stay on top of our family spendings + plan some saving funds for colleges. Before Budget Hound I needed to sit down for a couple of hours with a calculator and do a lot of math, but now it’s a lot easier for me to plan our usual spendings and understand how much we can put away every month.

I started using Budget Hound with my 14-year daughter to help her better understand how money works from the start and emphasize that it’s her responsibility. She can now plan her pocket money, things she wants to buy and always fix some savings for larger purchases. I wish I had something like this when I was a kid! My life would be so much easier

5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Update After Use: Great app with lots of features. Suggestions: Maybe offer a backup option to iCloud, more color choices, the ability to turn off the “average expense”and “You spent today” boxes. Some days I’ll pay most of my bills all together and I’ll get a warning that my average limit is to high or I spent too much for the day when in fact it’s for the month. Still this app is 5 stars and it’s simply the best budget app I’ve used so far. I’ve used many! Thank you for your work on this product. Love it!!
