Buddy: Budget Planner App
authentic ratingAn app with a sound shared-budget concept and a pleasant interface. For those who budget manually without sync it runs more reliably. Bank sync causes transaction duplication and balance discrepancies.

About the rating
Criticism is detailed and specific: subscription cancellation issues, inaccurate balance, duplicate transactions. Positive reviews are also specific. A textAvg of 3.18 against 85% five-stars in the store indicates that dissatisfied users write more, but the signal is honest.
Strengths
What users love
- Simple expense entry
- A convenient category budget overview
- And the option to manage it jointly with a partner. Works without a bank connection for those who prefer manual entry.
Weak spots
What users hate
- The displayed running balance diverges from the real bank balance. Transactions frequently duplicate during sync. No proper end-of-month balance forecast.
Who it is for
Couples and roommates who need a simple shared expense tracker and are willing to enter most records manually.
