1. 2/5moneybunny

   Honestly, the cute icons and game play initially are nice but it quickly changes as you level up into higher levels. It becomes near impossible to save up diamonds unless you watch a bunch of ads to compensate which hardly gets you anywhere. As an app that promotes saving and healthy budget tracking, it’s ironic when the app itself encourages you to SPEND money to improve your city. Is the point not to help track and not add to expenses? What I find equally frustrating is the streak system to login everyday. I don’t make a purchase every single day of the week, so I don’t understand why I’m encouraged to check in daily. While daily logins help to upgrade my city or check on buildings, this isn’t a very productive use of time if I am only wanting to track expenses in a cute way. I would also love if I could edit the basic categories they already have set. Some of these categories I would love to change out because they don’t exist for me as an expense but they do take up category space. Overall, great idea but paywalled at a certain point which defeats the purpose.

2. 3/5Great app, issues with Sparkful and its subscription interactions.

   The app itself is great and works well for tracking spending and income. One issue with the actual app is the building limits, which for me isn’t much of an issue, but if you have to enter in more than 5 purchases/incomes in a day, this will bother you. My big issue with this app though, and why it’s getting bumped down to 3 stars is this: This app is part of a group of apps made by a company called Sparkful. These apps include others such as: plant nanny, to do adventure, walkr, and book morning. Sparkful has a subscription fee that you can pay monthly/yearly in order to have access to premium features that are in their apps. This app however, doesn’t use it. Even worse, they expect you to pay an additional subscription cost on top of what you’re already paying! There are zero premium benefits or features available to Sparkful subscribers, no premium currency, no build limit increases, etc. Frankly, I pay them $96 a year. This app should be coming with something, and the fact that it doesn’t is ridiculous. Expecting your consumers to pay for two separate subscriptions in general—but especially in this economy—is in my opinion not really fine. And if you’re going to do so for certain features, include SOMETHING for the Sparkful app subscribers, even if it’s just a daily couple of diamonds. It’s incredibly disappointing, as the development team for these apps is great. They’re typically great to their premium users. Not sure why they don’t think they should be for this one.

3. 2/5punishes you for saving money

   tried this out for a few months, hoping it would help me budget. i did find it fun and useful for that, although the game has bizarre mechanisms that punish you for not spending money at least 5 times a day. they must really not know their audience... people installing budgeting apps are obviously seeking programs that teach them to save. this game does the opposite. i managed to stick with the game despite that fault. but now i have really hit a wall i did not see coming. once you play the game long enough to level up your buildings a few times, it stops being free to play. i CANNOT upgrade the buildings in my city unless i pay irl money for “diamonds” (the games pay-to-play currency). it’s pretty sneaky not to even give me the option to level up in other ways. the game doesn’t have functions that give you diamonds for free either, unlike some other games with p2p options. i cannot move any further without giving them money. i’ll be uninstalling this now, since the gamemakers so clearly misunderstood that anyone who would play this game is trying not to spend money.

4. 5/5Actually works to encourage mindful spending

   First of all, the icon for this app really sets up what the app is going to be about. It’s fun-looking, like a game, but it also has a serious name and a pencil in the design to indicate that the app does involve tracking and budgeting. The App Store description does a good job, and the app itself is so user friendly and cute. I would say this app is for anyone needing motivation or just starting out trying to budget. It makes it fun to pay attention to how money is spent, and the collection aspect is very addicting. The app is free and very professionally done. The main focus of the app is motivating people to engage in mindful spending by having users track their expenses. By being aware of what you are spending, you can build a better budget plan. The design is absolutely adorable, and it uses a lot of game mechanics to create a motivating experience. The content, however, can be a little complicated to understand. I found that it throws you right into the game. Some scaffolded learning may benefit users. That being said, it was easy to navigate and use, the cost was perfect, and many people love this app, myself included.

5. 5/5Fun Budgeting

   I find this app to be both fun and useful. As I make purchases throughout my day I will log them into the game and have been able to categorize each one to my specifications. There are major categories and subcategories in order to track your purchases. It does incur you to spend more IRL just to gain new building types, but it’s not necessary, because those will come with time. The free version itself offers a good range of capabilities, but for a few bucks a month you can also use more extensive graphing features, which is quite helpful for long-term budgeting. The game interface on top of that is quite easy to maneuver and play around with. Even when not doing anything with your city for a day, you workers will build additional parks to liven things up. Overall, I absolutely enjoy this app, and would also recommend some of the partner apps as well, Walkr and Plant Nanny. Those encourage positive and healthy daily routines, like exercise and drinking more water. Thank you dev. team! Well done!

2. 4/5

   Fortune City makes expense tracking fun with its city-building concept, which keeps me motivated to log expenses daily. I also like that unused builders become public buildings like parks. However, account management needs improvement. While you can create cash, debit, and credit accounts, there's no option to transfer money between them or manually adjust balances. Great for expense tracking, but not yet a complete personal finance app.
