1. 5/5The only budget app I found both simple and powerful enough to stick with

   I tried a lot of budget apps, free and paid. What I like about this app is it gives you a lot of the flexibility and control you get with a serious accounting app without the complex setup those often require. For instance, you can completely customize the Categories and Subcategories to get the kind of financial picture that works best for you. You can also do somewhat tricky things like set both a ‘positive’ cost budget and ‘negative’ income budget that cancel out to show you your real discretionary income after “pass-thru” costs. It’s also easy to track both regular balances, like your checking, savings and cash, as well as credit card debt and loans and make transfers between these accounts. The bill calendar can show these recurring transfers as bills since, after all, they end up being part of your month-over-month liabilities. The ‘reconciliation’ feature can really help you if you cultivate a habit of doing it since it helps you track the difference between pending and posted balances. And, of course, a big part of the paid features is the family feature where multiple users and devices can work in the same accounts and everything stays in-sync. In short, the fact that this app is simple and doesn’t try to automate too much for you is part of its strength because it keeps it highly flexible and customizable.

2. 4/5Very good, however...

   I've been using HomeBudget for 7 years and in my opinion it's still one of the best. However, recently I started looking for some alternatives, due to some annoying errors and the lack of updates, which previously, were constant. There is still no possibility to change the language, there is no possibility to customize the desired functions and mainly it seems that Anishu has not bothered to keep the application. I reinforce that I have tried several financial control applications and HomeBudget is still, if not the best, one of them. It is easy to use, it controls your expenses very well, it shows complete reports, it has a very good payment control schedule, it shows the forecast of expenses, it allows synchronization with other devices of the family, in fact, much that is not found in others applications. I ask Anishu, if you still read these reviews that reconsider this product and start to take care of it. You have an excellent product on hand, but you do not seem to be worried about taking care of it.

3. 5/5Great expense tracker!

   I’ve been using this app for about 3 years now and I’m very happy with how it’s allowed me to manually track m expenses and balance my bank account month to month. Some improvements I would like to see would be some tweaks in the “transfer” areas. First of all, it’d be nice to have a little more confirmation of a completed transfer. Like maybe a next screen that shows the completed transfer. Just something with a little more visual feedback so mistakes aren’t made. Also with this, I’d love the option to include transfers as a budgeted expense. For example it’d be nice to add a transfer into the budget in order to track that as an “expense” and have it all together. But maybe this could be optional unlike a typical expense. This would help a lot with people like me that want to have a zero-based budget where we budget out 100% of our expenses including savings. I would also love the addition of some realt-time feedback in the "split categories" menu so that I can see (after putting the first category and amount) how much is remaining from the original dollar amount so that I don't have to do math in my head and memorize the numbers!

4. 5/5Love it!

   This app is so helpful! It’s easy to customize and I love that my boyfriend and I can both track expenses, income, etc. from our own devices and it all goes into this shared app. It’s also nice to be able to keep my separate savings in the app for my viewing, but separate from the account totals that are shared, and the same for him. I bartend part time in addition to being an accountant. This app allows me to have a “cash” account for the tips I make bartending, and all of our bank accounts for paychecks. On that note, the ability to split each paycheck we get (we both contribute a certain amount of each check to savings and the rest goes into checking) is a super helpful feature! All in all, the perfect app for us, and well worth the cost. And that’s coming from a “what, I have to PAY for that?!” kind of person. 😊 Enjoy!

5. 5/5A fantastic app years later

   I’ve used this app for almost 10 years, and it does everything that I need and more. I can easily track bills and expenses through multiple accounts and see where I am with my budget at a glance. The only issues I’ve ever had with the app were my own error (changing phones and not properly backing up data). I just bought an iPad 11, and I was hesitant that this app was too old to work on it. That was not the case, and I am now able to synchronize my phone and iPad to track my family’s finances. This app may not have a ton of fancy bells and whistles, but it gets the job done at a good price and it doesn’t require a subscription. Whether your finances are simple or complex, this app can handle it in a way that is user friendly and easy to understand.
