Goodbye after 12 years. Moving to Budget Sync
I’ve been faithfully using app for 12 years. Very sad to see the dev has abandoned it. The bugs have slowly collected, outdated interface, no native dark mode support and overall stagnation of feature development have caused me to search for alternatives.
After experimenting with 126 alternative expense trackers, I finally found the best one: Budget Sync (by Fabian). encourage everyone looking for an alternative to move your data now.
To Anishu: I want to thank you for developing this great app that I was able to use to track every cent for 12 years. Best of luck to you !

Horrible app
I would love to give this app a five star unfortunately one of the major Future does not work, which is OneBudget. You should be able to set up one budget, and should display a horizontal bar indicating the budget you set. In this case it does not work. I’ve contacted the developer at least five times if not more, they never responded. Terrible customer service. Of course they already got my money, so why should they? So don’t bother spending your money on this app.
Developer doesn’t respond…
I found a bug and reported it. Never heard back from the developer after multiple attempts. I’ve been a user for 4-5 years. Disappointed in the lack of a response. Save your money and go with a more dependable app (developer).
Does not work as described
Does not sync with most cards and banks as advertised. When asked for help it said it was offered as a curtesy however to me when I pay for an app that advertises sync ability then it is not a curtesy but a paid for service. Creating a spreadsheet works as well with no sync.
Indefinite recurring income/payments need to be added
This app used to have indefinite recurring income/payments, now it ends after 2 years. This is very annoying and shouldn’t be hard to implement.
Refuses to work
App refuses to connect to bank no matter what I do, rendering this useless. Waste of $
Bad app
Bad app
Don’t download this app!
Don’t download this app - they charge you for no reason. It’s surprising because it’s not a subscription based app but I have a random charge on my credit statement from them. I tried to reach them through app support but number not found. Don’t download this app unless you want weird fraudulent charges on your card.
Apparently No Longer Maintained
I had such hopes for this but, when I tried to sync with my iPhone, I went to the recommended site for instruction but, instead of instructions for this, there was information on another application called Finances.
It’s a decent tracker.
I’ve been using this for years as a tracker and more as a reminder for upcoming bills. The biggest and most inconvenient aspect of the app is that reoccurring bills can only be entered as a two year duration. So in essence, unless you remember to extend your mortgage being due on the first of the month after using the app for two years the bill just doesn’t appear on the 25th month’s list of bills.
If it were only that easy to avoid your house payment….. There should be a way to have bills project further than 24 months.

Was great in the beginning, but get something else.
The was a fantastic app that I have had for so long that I even forgot when I started (over 10 years ago). I liked its cross-platform capability, and great auto-categorising features to have full control over budgeting forecast. I purchased the app for all my devices and made great use of the in-depth features available for the desktop and quick glance and referencing on my mobile devices.
However, over the years Anishu started to neglect fixing bugs and now I can no longer use my desktop app, it is just too slow respond and freezes too often. Requests sent to Anishu seem to be ignored now. I do not recommend getting this app now, since it appears to be at the end of its lifecycle.

Settings with more options are needed
Just purchased this app and I’m a bit confused regarding some of the functions of it. I sent an email and hopefully I get a response and I will update my review once I do. Thank you.
Undo update or give option to roll back
I’ve been using HomeBudget for a LONG time. This recent update has made the app UI a nightmare to use. Number inputs are wonky, keep sliding the screen over to a different menu, things are slight larger and more difficult to navigate. Why ruin a good thing? Feelsbadman
