The ads became really intrusive recently, which has entirely ruined the experience of the app. Before this I'd use it constantly and LOVED it, it was the perfect budget app. I'm so sad that it changed as I cannot find one that has the same features I liked but no way am I paying a recurring fee, especially WEEKLY, just to make it usable again. If the ads were back how they used to be, it would've been 5 stars.
Reviews for EasyBudget – Budget planning
this app was wonderful, still is in terms of what it offers, it's the only budget app I found that easily lets you add recurring income and expenses. however, now you must watch an ad every single time you open the app, which is very annoying when I'm just trying to check my budget. would not recommend anymore, unfortunately.
I really loved this app when I first downloaded it. I use it every day to check against my bank balance. However, one week ago, I started getting ad pop-ups when I open the app. I have to wait until the ad stops before I can move on to balancing my budget. Very frustrating to use now. Then today, I got multiple requests to rate this app, and when I clicked "no", another ad popped up. This happened twice. I am going to search for a new app to use if this continues.
I honestly would have given this app OVER 5 stars in the past as a longtime daily user! It has been so incredibly helpful, seriously. 💗 The problem is it started to show ads, which I totally understand, however: 1) I love the app so much I wanted to upgrade & pay for ad-free, but $14.99 / WEEK?! I'm budgeting bc I'm broke lol 🤯 2) With free I would be totally fine w/ the ads *if* they didn't have fake buttons to skip or X out the screen! Half the time they're actually links, & that's not okay.
*I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP* New update has alot of ads for the free version! Also, 15/wk for pro is straight up rediculous! Will definitely be switching to something else. Edit 9/13/25 The adds have rendered this app unusable. The games they make you play are very agitating, they don't go away once completed and sometimes it takes me several minutes or longer to access my account. And this happens multiple times throughout the day.
I LOVED this app. They recently added ads. Annoying, but fine. That's what they need to do to keep the app running, fine. But now an ad starts every time I open the app & it WILL NOT GO AWAY. Its a full-screen ad. I basically have a whole app which only functions to replay the same ad for shoes infinitely. It absolutely ruined one of my most-used apps. Will be deleting if it's not fixed soon. Edit: I understand that there is a premium version. The free version should still WORK though!
Wow. great app turned poor because of ads. Now you can't even open the app without sitting through multiple horrible ads that most of the time don't let you click away when you finish them and direct you to the google play store. The cost to get rid of them? 15.99 a WEEK. Outrageous. Will be moving on to a different app. Update: the developer response seems to think 15.99 a week (over 700 dollars a year) is a fair price for what used to be a free app. Imagine that.
The app itself works well and when initially installing it there were no ads. But now ads are present and if you go "pro" it will cost $14.99 PER WEEK PER CELL PHONE which comes out to over $1500 per year to have the app on both my wife's phone as well as mine. That is a ridiculously high amount and I hope they change that to make it more affordable.
I liked how simple the app was, but suddenly they started showing ads.... obnoxious and intrusive ads. The last thing I want from my budget app is a loud, full screen ad (that I can't exit or mute) popping up when I'm trying to enter a budget item in at the store. if it's not a video, it's an annoying full screen ad popping up randomly. I would happily pay a one-time $5 or something for access to a simple budget app like this, but the ads are frustrating. Will definitely be deleting this app.
signed up for a free trial of premium but I got signed out of the app. There's no way for me to sign back in. The only option is to sign up for pro or premium (I already pay for pro). So now it is entirely unusable because it won't even let me access my accounts. Also, $15 a week is absolutely absurd. I don't know what the developer is thinking. No other app charges anywhere near that. I liked this app because of its simplicity. It is not worth $780 a year.
