Reviews for Beyond Budget - Budget Planner

Really helpful. Useful app. I would have rated a 5 but I am having a hard time completely figuring out how to use this app and I am not sure if it is that way due to having to upgrade it to fully access it or not. But it will give you a better idea how to properly budget. Just having the info from the app that regardless if you save or not everything has to be zeroed out just made a lot more sense to why my budget hasn't been working out to get an advantage.

I am absolutely DELIGHTED with this app. It is incredibly customizable and easy to use. Placement of options is fairly intuitive. After trying at least several dozen different budgeting apps, I finally chose this one. It is clean, and the free version is ad free. I went ahead and bought the lifetime subscription because I'm incredibly happy with the work put into the app and flexibility it provides. 10/10

I've been trying out the app for couple of weeks so far. Comparing to Honeydue app. I have found this app has more that can be modified to suit ones needs. I like that with the paid version I'll be able to share with my spouse and we both stay upto date on our finances. I'm not interested in anything you have to pay a monthly fee on but will to pay a reasonable one time fee.... How abt a sale on the one time price.

I love this app! It checks (almost) all the boxes for what I want out of a budgeting app! Amazing, free, easy to use and keep track of my budget and no hidden fees, well, no fees at all. Easy to learn to save. Beyond Budget has a very easy to use interface and all the tools anyone could want or need to begin budgeting their finances This app is great for those who are just starting their budget, or those who already have one.

I love the app, and it's definitely helped me a lot with my budget needs. The only issue is that it's extremely buggy. I'm using an android device (Samsung Galaxy S21) and 9/10 times I click on anything, it crashes. Funnily enough I'm even trying to buy the full plan and it wouldn't let me, keeps giving the stormy skies ahead error screen.

App seems to be relatively user friendly. I wish there was a bit more customization to it for the basic version, as I am used to a budgeting app with more of that. I also have more than 3 accounts, so that is limiting unless I want to pay for the upgraded version, which I don't considering I get a better experience for free with Mint. But still good for the beginning budgeter.

I really like using this app for all my budgeting needs. It has every category you could think of. It includes helpful articles to help you learn how to save and budget and get the most out of your money. It is very helpful in reminding you what you need to save for and how much and when your payments need to be made. All around helpful stress free budgeting app.

There are So many features that at times I found myself a little overwhelmed. With that said I have gradually started adding accounts (all added manually), and have started setting out goals etc.. I definitely recommend the app if your looking for a ( one stop shop) to getting your budgeting going. I also recommend looking into the resources it provides for a better understanding and do a little at a time so it's not so overwhelming.

I am SO impressed with this app! It was really smooth and easy to navigate. The different categories were easy to understand, and they were encouraging as well as informative. The sections to remind yourself to reassess, and to accept setbacks, and how to manage these are great. The learning center is really useful as well - so much information that lots of people who struggle with budgeting NEED to help understand how/why things work. Highly recommend for anyone needing help or motivation.

So far the app is beneficial with a multitude of things. There are many categories for you to choose from and it helps keep up with the expenses you have or what you want to save for. It is very well made, and easy to navigate I also believe it would help with keeping up with money management that I personally know a few lack and could gain from this app. You are able to tell where you are at either saving or expenses, and what you need to continue to do or what can be priority.

Oh, absolutely. So many people have no idea exactly how much they are spending, let alone even coming in. The utilization of colored icons in the lists really made a difference for me in the app being more comfortable to look at and visually navigate. I think if you could further incorporate color in the upper blocks, it would appeal to me a bit more. Again, it's very tasteful and I'm not saying get clunky, but low opacity colored backgrounds per block maybe?

This app is exactly how I like to budget. Would be perfect if it had bank syncing for transactions. Update: After using for a while, I would love to be able to add categories easier, without having to go into settings. Also, I had to set all my categories up as "targets" so I could see the amount I planned for that category. Would be helpful to have a total at the top so I could keep track of my planned budget.

Editing my review to provide more details. I have used it for a few days now. I switched from another budgeting app to this. I'm really enjoying using this budgeting app. Very easy to use! I like the ability to customize. Also, I love the option to buy a lifetime access and ditch the monthly subscription. I don't even miss the other budgeting app I was using. I have been trying for years to leave it because of the cost kept increasing.

Great app for budgeting! However I take one star off because it does not work well when transfering funds between accounts with different currencies. If I transfer 1500$CAD to an Euro account, it adds 1500€ to the account and ignores the exchange rate, and then I have to manually update my account balance, which is kinda annoying. Please fix it and I will update my review. Thank you.

I found Beyond Budget after using YNAB for many years. There was a learning curve, but there were lots of articles and easy access to support. I love that it is 1) a Zero-based budget, 2) I can create savings goals for sinking funds, and 3) it allows me to set targets for my various categories.

Very useful. It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you know what to do, it's very helpful. Being autistic and needing a visual representation of where my finances are and where they are going in order to keep them up, this fits some of the requirements I need with that. I wish that the recurring settings were much more flexible and that the allocation dates could be edited. Being able to see the balances of the accounts by day on the calendar would be nice, too.

I love the zero-based budgeting option; it's like YNAB but w/lots more features & less expensive. Only issue so far is after setting up a repeating transaction you can't go back to change its timeframe (frequency, which date to start, etc). You have to delete the transaction & make a new one. It's not hard to do just strange. Everything else in the app is intuitive & adjustable just not that.

Great App! Like the fact that it is notification based, no importing bank accounts that might take days to sync. It simply pulls in the transaction right when they occur. My only request is to get on the Apple Store / iOS devices. So that I can share the app with my spouse. Switched over to YNAB due to this. Once on iOS, I'll increase the rating.

if you are looking for a budget app that is both user AND budget friendly, look no further! this app gives customization features, we'll written educational articles, and they have fantastic customer service. if you get the offer to buy the lifetime membership at a discount, take it! to me, it was equivalent to purchasing the software. NO ADS!

I'd give 4.5 if that was an option. This is a really good Zero-based budget app as long as you're willing to pay for the premium plan (and I am, personally). The monthly cost isn't crazy (~$4 a month if you pay yearly) but the free plan is not going to be a good long-term budgeting tool unless you are really committed to not paying. It's more like a demo with the limitations that it gives you. All that said, I like this app quite a bit and I only wish it had bank syncing.
