Reviews for Cashew—Expense Budget Tracker

This app is amazing. I love all the features for it being free. I am considering purchasing the full version, even. But I like how you can manually enter and edit transactions and budgets versus linking your accounts and having things just set. Sometimes things need to be edited, and on other apps you can't add notes or make edits as easily as with Cashew. Highly recommend.

Genuinely the best budgeting app I've found, completely customizable and they don't make you link your bank account if you don't want to, and you can still use all the features, the "premium" version is also free, like they ask for a contribution but if you can't afford another subscription you can still set more than one budget and everything, the interface is also very very well designed and pretty intuitive, would recommend to anyone who wants to get their finances in check.

So far so good. Just switched from Wallet (which I've used for over 14 years), because they keeping hounding me to get the paid version, limited how many accounts I could have, and display ads where the "X" is on different sides of the screen. So bye bye I went. Checked out Mint, Expensify, Clarity Money, Every Dollar, and a bunch more apps only to find that their "FREE" accounts were only free for like a week. Then it's $20/month or whatever. Ridiculous. This app seems to be perfect so far.

Cashew is by far the best financial app I've tried. It's got everything you could want, and the design and UI is top-notch! My only suggestion is to add more subcategories for expenses. For example, under Groceries, it would be great to have options like 'Groceries > Fruits > Apples, Banana.' Right now, you can only add one subcategory, which can be a bit limiting. Overall, I'm so impressed with Cashew that I'm seriously considering getting the premium version.

Wonderful experience. Does everything you need it to do (besides maybe investments) for free, without ads, and in a pretty UI. (There's a web UI and sync too!) I get a tiny bit of stutters here and there, but it's worth it, even paying for the premium version (even though you can use paid features for free) is worth it just to support the developer.

Best budgeting app Ive ever used! Took a day or so to setup, so It comes with a little bit of a learning curve but ultimately worth it. You can get even more out of the app by purchasing the pro version and they have subscription options but I would recommend the purchase for a lifetime which is currently only $20! Might seem steep to some, but if you are using this for budgeting a one time purchase to manage your money going forward is a small price to pay to secure financial freedom. 10/10!

Great app! Only thing I noticed that needs fixing is how a certain repetitive transaction that falls under income category disappears after a few deposits. I deposit daily and then I notice it, which is not really a problem. Only thing I'm worried about is that if it happens to other transactions which I don't memorize so I'm afraid I might miss one.

Bumped it up to 4 stars after the developer responded quickly and explained some things. Instructions or help files would still be a +. The main reason I tried this was for downloading transactions from my bank. It is a little intuitive, but not enough to make a big impact. After some practice it is better, but it still takes a lot of time to prepare the bank file upload. Individual entries are fairly simple. No ads is a +. Customization is ok. I'll wait for the next update before a final rev

I was able to import +5000 transactions from my original budgeting app, and it was seamless. I would give it a 6 star if I could, because this app is amazing, even for free version! I don't need the full option, but I'll pay for it just to support. I hope in the future that there's a functionality to read SMS messages and automatically make transactions - then it would be beyond perfection. Please consider!

This is a fantastic app. It has all the essential features you'd need in a budget app, as well as a few convenient extras, all for FREE - and presented by a beautiful and intuitive interface. However, there is no bank sync. Not a dealbreaker for me though, as I prefer manual entry. Additionally, if you want to upgrade to unlock more features, the subscription is priced $1.49/mo, which imo is super reasonable. Plus, $20 gets you lifetime access so you're not stuck in a monthly subscription loop.
