I paid for this app 4 years ago, gave great feedback and love, what a knife wound in the back. Now I have 4 years of data I can't export unless I give $80 / mth --- Edit things were working fine, now somehow the app can get removed from my phone, where did all the data I entered go now?
I can't click on anything!

Made the one time payment to upgrade years ago and now they decided to be greedy. Guess I'll find a new app.
Would we ever have a decent app without intrusive ads on this store?
i loved the app and been using it for many years. but the subsciption is too rpicey for me to afford. it used to be $9.99 for lifetime but now after updating the app, need to pay $15/week?! I think it's time for me to let it go and give other app a try.
in the .little time that I've used it. it seems perfect. But for $15 a week would equal $60 a month that's absolutely ridiculous
Just not any good
update: the price of this app is no longer worth it. find a either cheaper to pay or a less ad riddled free budgeting app. original review: In order to get the best of it, I had to pay. But i have consistently used this app for a few years, and it has helped me immensely to get the most of my money and start saving. I recommend it to a lot of people.
adware. not recommended for installation
Ads are shown even in premium plan. Happened 3 times. Contacted support to feedback twice, but didn't receive any follow-up. App startup time has increased dramatically causing a long waiting time before user can actually start using the app.
Payed for the full version years ago as it was a one time payment. Now they introduced a subscription or adds storm. Changed review from 5 to 1.
i've been using this app since 2023 and paid for the one time premium long ago. how come that it was cancelled, and i can't use the features that i've been using for several years? edit. what happened again? you cancelled my premium account again?
today 1st of Feb 2026 my lifetime payment is not acknowledged I now get ads amongst other issues. too bad I have mailed support for this since jan back and forth yet no resolve. old 5 star review I love it and it easy to set up and see were all my money goes. Using the free version but will upgrade as for the lovely feature it provides its dirty cheap. Thumbs up to the developer. edited
scam
I paid for an upgraded version of this app years ago and have loved using it. Now there are ads every time you click on something to add an expense or even to open the settings menu. I have lost many of the functions that I used all the time and can only get it if I pay for the premium upgrade. To upgrade and get rid of the ads they want $15 a week which is absolutely outrageous. I will definitely be looking for a new budget app.
Used to be one of the best apps on my phone. Currently considering uninstalling, due to the newly introduced intrusive ads, including full screen videos. Worse, said ads keep pestering you to install unwanted apps, e.g. Temu. While I may understand the need to monetise, well.. No, thanks.
I used to love the app until now suddenly they are going to bill me for pro features that I paid for previously in 1 off payment ?? and the price is ridiculously steep too 👎
I used the app for 2 years and was great until update, (iSavemoney version worked well) now it gets stuck in the opening screen, need to uninstall and reinstall for it only to work once then it gets stuck again. Previous review: "I use it every single month for budgeting and or works great if you are disciplined enough to stick to your budget"
3+ Years of Use and I had previously upgraded to the pay once permanent upgrade and now they are asking for a monthly payment to have the upgraded version. Just not ethical for long time users that should be grandfathered in. Edit: I was reinstated with my lifetime purchase. However I will only add one star as it does show ads occasionally until I close and reopen.
App was working great and I bought premium version years ago (iSavemoney). But recently, the app doesn't work as it used to be. It always stuck on the initial opening screen (iSavemoney logo) then it does nothing. I had to uninstall and reinstall it to use it, but then it doesn't function properly again after a short time e.g., doesn't back up to the drive as it used to be. Poor experience now, I have sent an email in December but no answer. Will move away to another app soon.
good
