authentic ratingA budget planner with manual transaction entry and category allocation. Strength: a clean interface with no extras. Weakness: automatic bank sync periodically loses transactions, and the available balance calculation does not account for planned expenses.

About the rating
Reviews are substantive and varied. Criticism describes specific mechanics: incorrect 'available' budget calculation, Citi transactions disappearing, categories not saving. Positive reviews are equally specific.
Strengths
What users love
- Clean interface with no unnecessary features. Shared access for a couple to maintain a joint budget. Color category labeling is clear at a glance.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Transactions from some banks regularly disappear during sync. The available balance calculation does not account for planned expenses. No Android version: a partner on a different platform cannot participate.
Who it is for
IOS users who want to manually track a personal or couple budget without complex tools like YNAB.
