EveryDollar: Personal Budget Reviews

Good but could be better

Hercules, Hercules.....

I've been using this for a few months now and have really enjoyed it. The iPhone version (currently the only version) is user friendly and allows easy input of expenses and overview of monthly budgets. I wish it had a way to export the budgets to a PDF or other format so that I could save them to my computer. I have used apps before (Apple's Numbers app) that have dropped data that can never be recovered. I just don't trust the cloud. Another improvement they could make is to develop a version for the iPad. Excel works so well on the iPad that I have had a hard time moving to this app exclusively. The on-line version does NOT interface with the iPad well at all. If they would simply take the iPhone version and port it over to the iPad and allow me to export the budgets or email the budget so that I could save it I would be a happy camper.

Shame on you Dave Ramsey

Dave Ramsey should be ashamed of himself for incessantly promoting this app on his radio show. Unless you pay $99/year, all transactions must be typed in manually. Compare this to the completely free Mint, which downloads transactions and automatically categorizes your spending. Mint even has a decent budgeting tool; for the Ramsey purists, you can use the budgeting tool and the Cash Flow summary to properly account for "every dollar" each month. Let's do the math $99/year (EveryDollar) vs $0 (Mint) for more features. I understand the need for Mr. Ramsey's empire to make a buck, but $99/year is highway robbery.

Suggestion

Chris Centamore

Very nice app in general. One suggestion that would make it much more useful for realtime tracking. If you over-run an individual budget item, that over-run should be reflected in the 'over budget' number for the month. If the actual value is greater than the budgeted value, the actual value should become the budgeted value. Currently there is no way to tell how much an overrun in one area impacts the monthly budget.

Budgeting done right!

Love this app! It adapts to the fact that every month has slightly different money needs or different amounts of money coming in.

Pure garbage

Useless. You'll have to pay $8.25 per month for it to work like mint that's free

Looks clean and it's fast. Just won't pay $8.25 a month for it to update my bank info. The purpose of a budget is app is to get you on track with your money not cost $99 a year. I'll go back to mint. It's free

Dave thinks charging $99/year for any functionality is just fine. He should be ashamed of himself for this. You can get Mint for free and Quicken for about $40. Save your money. Greedy Dave has enough.

Love it

I really love this app very easy to use. The only downfall is the app isn't available on MacBook. I would love to have it to use on there too. Hopefully in the future it will be.

Great tool to help stay on budget.

This is the best app I have found to manage my money. Mint is nearly as good but what I really like about this app is that it makes you categorize your purchases. That's as close to the envelope system with a debit card as you can get. Save money and buy their Plus membership from their website. Is 1.74 per month cheaper.
