Reviews for My Budget Book

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).

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!

This is a great budgeting app that makes it easy to keep track of spending. It is quite in-depth with plenty of features, but I tend to use more of the basic features to allow me to keep track of my monthly income and expenses. If you take the time to enter details like purchase category, the app creates pie charts and detailed expenditure lists which are convenient to use.

My Budget Book is super convenient and flexible. I used to just budget on a memo pad in my phone and do all the math myself every day, but with this app its easy to just plug in the expenses, income, etc and it does all the work for you. I havent had any issues with it so far. Its simple design is clean and straight to the point. No filler, no useless space. Straight to the point and very convenient!

absolutely brilliant. i have used over a dozen other free apps before, trying to get a workable budgeting system goin, and everytime i would find a glaring fault. i was finally willing to spend the measly 3 bucks on this app after reading the other reviews and it was completely worth it. Flawless. Great account making tools, transfers, budgetmaking with the ability to roll over balances if you so desire, and with spending breakdowns with as much detail as you want. I can't recommend it enough.

UPDATE: It's 2024 and I'm still using this app. It's still the best. ... 2017 review: No need to sync with your account. Tons of options. Easy to use. Easy to set up multiple budgets, monthly allowances, reoccurring charges, etc. This app has kept me on track for almost a year now. What I love is I can set it up to work how I want it to work instead of being forced into someone else's idea of good budgeting. Tried a bunch of the others like mint, etc. This is my favorite.

Phenomenal app! I use it almost every day. The UX/UI is excellent and it's a great way to track your expenses and organize your budget. I've tried about a dozen budget apps and the others don't shine a light on this one, so well done developers! One feature I would love to see added is themes, specifically and AMOLED (pitch black) theme. Also, if you could change the category list to customizable icons with titles, it would be more user-friendly. An undo button would be great as well.

This is a phenomenal budget tracking app. I have used a few previously and they all were okay but wouldn't allow for the depth and tracking I wanted. This app has everything I have wanted and more, from reoccurring transactions to tracking multiple accounts simultaneously. 10/10, I'm so happy I've found this and purchased it!

I have used this app to keep track of spending and income for several different accounts and I can't say enough good things. It has never crashed and I have transferred data to my new phone easily. I like being able to enter deposits, withdrawals, checks, and debit card purchases as soon as I make them. I also like being able to create categories and sub categories for my transactions. Great app!

Perfect. I used Good Budget which wouldn't wouldn't track the budget progress if you adjusted or added one mid month, nor track multiple checking accounts, savings or credit card balances. This app does it all. I've deleted bank accounts and budgets and everything else during this practice month with it and had to start over, but through my own fault as I learn it because it does a lot more than I was used to. Skip the other apps and go with this one, this one does it all.

This is the easiest and quickest financial app I've ever used. I paid for the app and it is well worth it. Assigning accounts, categories and subcategories is a breeze. One thing this app has that I've never seen in any of the many apps I've tried over the years is a template feature. I use it a lot, especially for entries like groceries. Update 3/1/23. Great customer service. I couldn't see how to show running balance. When I posted my review developer notified me right away how to see it.

I used Every Dollar for a few months and hated the interface and how tedious it all was. This is literally checked every single box I was wishing every dollar had. Do yourself the favor of getting this app. Best 4 bucks I've ever spent. So easy to navigate, put in expenses and income, recurring payments, one time payments, expiration dates on loans. It's just overall awesome.
