HomeBudget is an integrated expense tracker designed to help you track your expenses, income, bills-due and account balances. It offers support for budgeting, and allows analysis of your expenses and income, including charts and graphs. Two key differentiating features of HomeBudget are:

1. Integrated set of features. The features within HomeBudget are well integrated such that a bill can become an expense (when you pay for it) and also adjust the account balance at the same time.

2. Family sync. HomeBudget includes Family Sync, an advanced feature that allows a group of devices within the household to exchange expense and income information, and work together within a single budget. Once setup, the devices sync with each other automatically over the air. Family Sync works across all features including Bills and Accounts. Please refer to the Family Sync Quick Start guide at http://www.anishu.com for information on configuring Family Sync.

Can't test run
jrbates67

I can't test run the sync because it exits the app when I try to sync (send data to another Iphone)! Developer needs to fix this bug!!!


Can’t do much on the free app
I'll tell the truth

You’re only allowed to add 10 expenses, after that you’re asked to buy the app to add more. Don’t waste your time download the spending app


No recurring bill auto pay?
iwastoldineedanickname

I gave this another try.. however, bills don’t seem to have an auto-pay option.


Ugh!
Lnashley

The app has great features and I'm sure would be very helpful if it worked. It wouldn't let me put more than one expense or income entry though! I even reset it thinking that would do it.


I Finally found it!!!

I've had an iPhone for four years and have been anxiously waiting for an app like this the whole time. I don't like the apps that just sync with the bank and guess on upcoming expenses I love to be fully aware of what my money is doing at all times. I really love the family sync. Thank you for letting me try it before I buy it. I've tried at least a dozen other financial apps and nothing comes close to this one. Time to go make the greatest $4.99 investment of my life. Thanks Again.


App would be great if it worked
reuel2803

Only downloaded the app b/c it was highly praised in a tech article. Very disappointed and upset I wasted time inputting all my information.


Unpredictable
Spineytoad

It seemed to work at first but the family sync doesn't work properly, now I can't apply a payment to many bills, it keep thinking I want to edit the bill. Customer support didn't help much, emailed and phones them. Hope it gets better and usable.


Disappointment
Fallaid

Not intuitive at all. Cumbersome to track budgetary expenses. $4.99 well wasted.


Outstanding app for home budgets
App Overload

This app has an excellent interface, is very easy to learn, and sticks to the task of home budgets. I did not have any difficulty getting expenses entered, updated, and exported. Very smooth and quick response. Well done!


Not Transparent
DesertDog999

Thanks for not telling me until after I'd used it for a week that this version only allowed 20 expense entries and 10 income entries. That is complete and utter b.s.
