1. 4/5Almost there!

   I’ve been using this for a couple of months and it’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s interesting how this simple, but effective app replaces most of my budget/goal saving apps. I even bought pro because I use it really often. Now the bad. I’m still unsure what the savings account option does/the purpose of it. I haven’t really found a purpose for it other than tracking what account I’m using to save the goal for. But other than that it’s just a placeholder. Another issue I found is the lagging issues when inputting an entry into your savings goal. For example, let’s say I want to put in $5 (arbitrary number) into a goal. When I hit the check button to confirm my input amount, there’s a slight roughly 4-5 second delay. This is really common on goals that have more than +10 entry inputs. There’s also a glitch where if you hit the check button more than once (let’s say you’re impatient and hit the button for a bit because you think the screen is frozen) while it’s waiting to save changes, it will replicate the entry and have an incorrect amount displayed. In this case, my input will be $10 rather than $5. I would personally love to have a “funding account” feature that displays my current checking balance (offline of course) where I can distribute funds manually/automatically to my goals so I don’t have to manually go into every goal and subtracting/adding the balance one by one. This is more of a wishlist feature.

2. 4/5Amazing but suggestion!

   First off, I haven’t had the app for very long but it’s exactly what i was looking for. I read a few reviews and it seems like when there’s a problem you do a good job of fixing it. So thank you for that. Only thing is I have an iphone and it could be nice to see it on my widget screen, just some sort of preview of my goals. If you happen to do this I would suggest adding a “Show in widget” option to each goal, because I know one or two of my goals I wouldn’t want shown on the screen just a few of them that I choose. Thank you, and I love the app so far, I absolutely love the progress bar, it motivates me.

3. 5/5Great app!

   I’m using this app to keep track of how much money I have put towards getting an Apple Watch. It is simple in the way that as soon as I get any money, even find a few coins laying around, I can just enter it into the app and its done. One suggestion that I have would be to add a feature that shows how much more money you NEED to get to your goal. The app shows how much money you put into it and the percentage of how close you are, but it doesn’t show how much you still need. I found myself typing things into the calculator and figuring it out that way. Overall this is an amazing app!!!

4. 4/5Exactly what I needed!

   I itemize my savings into different categories and wanted something easier than pencil and paper or a spreadsheet. This app is amazing and exactly what I needed! I can see what I’m saving for, see my totals with the pro version and add or delete funds as needed. I wish I would have found this years ago! Update on my review: I removed one star because there is such a lag in pressing the buttons to navigate around the app. Add money to a goal and want to go back to the main menu, i have to click on the back button multiple times and then wait for the lag. Frustrating!

5. 5/5Could use an update

   I enjoyed this app up until recently. I tried to input a goal date but the options were blank, yet the scrolling effect was still there - I just couldn’t see the month/day/year I was selecting. I figured in order to fix it, I’ll just delete the app then redownload it. I download it again and it still won’t show the goal date. All in all, the features are great, I just can’t select a goal date. Update: Figured out the problem. The date selections are in white, and the background is also white.
