An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A calendar-based planner: future income and expenses appear on dates so you can see what your account balance will be a week or a month from now. A unique cash-flow forecast mechanic. The classic version worked brilliantly. The new version (Dollarbird 2/3) received complaints about slowness, balance calculation errors, and a degraded transaction entry experience.

What people use it for

People who plan cash flow in advance (mortgage, installment payments, irregular income) and are comfortable with manual entry.

What reviews praise

A running balance forecast for any future date. you can immediately see when a deficit will occur after planned expenses.
Recurring payments are set up once and visible in the calendar for years.

What reviews complain about

The balance calculation occasionally produces the wrong total, making the forecast unreliable.
The new interface is slower and less intuitive than the classic one.
The history sometimes hides old transactions.

I discovered Dollarbird about three or four years ago. I echo another user's comments I can't understand why more people don't use this app. I have used them all. Most track budgets - as this app does as well - but the calendar cash flow view shows you what your balance will be on any future date.

Dollarbird is my favorite app for budgeting forecasts and keeping track of my balances and expenses. It's so easy to set up re-occurring payments and income, while also being easy to change.
