Money Manager: Budget Tracker 4+

Great budget app that works on all my devices. Features that really help keep a budget inline. It links to accts. you want or manually enter those you don’t. Has a scheduler to always know your plan of income and expensive. Several features. I also like the ability to make groups out of accts. you've added (loans or credit cards; cc) making a total owed to that group and/or individual accounts. Now the downside; it be nice if this app had an opt to show available credit on an acct.; according to the limit you’ve entered. Also, the scheduler does not link to the actual income or expense as it downloads in to your linked bank accounts thereby not picking up when you made the payment. You can select a scheduled item to pay immediately but not that it’s already paid according to an item in your bank acct. Maybe, a little vague, but unless you have the app you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. So let's just say it requires some manual reconciling to make the scheduler gel to the actual transactions. I still have a bit of cleanup to do to get the budget and reports to make sense. I'm sure it's because of the categories things have fallen in. I'm not even close to a finance whiz. However, after evaluating a lot of other apps that work on all my devices seamlessly this wound up the best for someone like me. Simple and customizable. So I appreciate the work that went into it, because I was an I.T. tech before retiring.

I was interested in Money 5 since its launch, but was reluctant to spend $25 (I think it was more right after launch) without an ability to try it. Not to mention some initial reviews looked discouraging. Now it’s free to try and boy I wish I’d got it earlier: the interface is a joy to look at, all the important transaction info is right there, and it’s actually readable without squinting all the time. I have several bank accounts both local and international - Money’s Direct Downloads works great with them all! Before this I had another (popular!) finance app, but I was not able to connect to my account in Asia, so I guess Jumsoft really did their homework with bank support. I really don’t understand the negativity in some reviews - Money is brilliant at what it does.

Suggestion: I’d love to have a share account with my wife. We have a family account so it would be great to be able for us both to manage it (we use different Apple ID accounts).

Overall, solid five stars from a happy user! Keep it up!

I love the app for keeping track of purchases manually. Its easy to put money through several accounts without it getting confusing like all the other money tracking apps are.

Income being zelled into one account then transfered to another....it's usually so hard to show in other apps.

Especially credit cards - adding transactions and then paying it off through different accounts.

One thing id work on is how fast the system updates when switching from the computer to the app.
You really have to reload them on both systems for the new stuff to appear.

the second thing is to make the app a bit easier to Adjust the total amount. on the computer all i have to to is edit the dollar amount but the phone only gives me the option to reconcile the account - which never does what I want it to do.

Overall this app is very customizable in the most important ways - category's and the types of accounts you can add.

The simple red and green colors to tell income vs expense is great

and how the system remembers past categories that you made along with how the system auto fills the restuarants/shops name and location so in several months your not wondering when and where you went to this one place.

I would make the reports a bit better and have a few more pieces of information.

also I do pay for the full version
