I've been using the app for 5 years now and I'm very happy with it. Excellent customer support! I wish the auto fill function would also remember the radio button selection at the top (Expense, Income, Transfer) and that accounts could have independent currencies (even if you couldn't transfers between accounts with different currencies) and that there was a desktop version. Finally, if the app could prefill some fields by scanning a receipt (without saving the picture).
Reviews for My Budget Book
Collaboration option (automatic sync between multiple devices with multiple users) has become a must in my opinion, it just has to be there, as many other similar apps are offering it. I've had My Budget Book for years, but unfortunately I have to look to migrate to another app (as it's easier to start over with a new one rather than figure out a way of splitting accounts and budgets between users) , because of this limitation...the manual sync option is too much hastle in real life honestly :)
This app has great functionality. I especially like that privacy is taken seriously. It's the best budget tracking app on Play Store. One thing I would like is to set the currency per account instead of it being a global setting. This would require saving current conversion rates when the transaction was made. Also, it would be useful if the widgets had a way to open the app and then let you open *any* part of the app freely, instead of just one limiting you to the widget-specific part.
Superb app for tracking finances. I switched to this app at the start of the month and it is just what I needed. It replaced my pc based accounting program and linked app. Simple and intuitive yet has all the functionality I need. I would list the facilities I like best but it would be endless. I prepared by setting up accounts, recurring payments, several templates and my budgets before going live with account balances on the 1st. Worked perfectly. Even got a quick reply to my one simple question. Well worth the small price. Still great afterover 6 months. Many thanks.
Great little financial organiser. I started using app at the beginning of the year after not being able to transfer my old quicken program to my new computer. Just needing something simple for home accounting. Works well. I'm happy it is off line. Took a little while to set up get used to after using a pc for last 20 years, but great when you get used to it. I like that I can update my finances on the go.
Thank you...it just works! And I LOVE the variety of time options for budgets (ie every 2 wks, every 2 mos). I'm curious about how to add a credit card account... didn't find much in the excellent help file!
I needed to replace an old app that I used. This seemed to be the easiest and most straight forward of all the apps I looked at. I only need to keep track of balances and it is so easy to input. I'm sure it does a lot more than I need. Definitely worth it.
I have been using this app for 3 months now ( after trying out at least 20 others in the past, paid and unpaid). I was looking for something to replace my Quicken 2004 desktop program for something more up to date and a phone app. In my opinion this is the best of those I have tried. It gets 5 out of 5 from me. It's now 2025 and it's still the best app for me, it does everything I need.
I think I have used this app since it first came out. My original review was in 2015 and I never review anything immediately. The developers have focused on maintaining the integrity of the app rather than putting in unnecessary new frills, which I appreciate greatly. I can't praise it enough, it has been a staple in my life for over a decade and has helped me immensely.
Two months into using this app and in my opinion it is probably one of the best budgeting apps out there. I have tried many budgeting apps and this one is probably the most pliable. There is a little bit of a learning curve but once you figure how you want use it for your budgeting it becomes very easy to use and intuitive. The feature I like the best is the ability to attach a picture of a receipt to each transaction. I drop the photo on my SD card and link it to the transaction. Works perfect!
