    My friend that introduces me to this app said it’s free but why are they asking for $50 subscribers before I can be able to set this up, if I have money would I be finding budget app?

    This works really well for me. I’m able to connect my banks, organize and review my transactions, categorize them by type of expense, see how much I have left in each category, as well as set and edit a budget plan each month. It’s easy to use and has helped me stay on track. The only downside is that occasionally it misses transactions and I have to go check it against my bank website. I don’t know if that is a Buddy issue, or a bank connectivity issue. It seems to mostly happen around bank holidays. A bit annoying, but overall I would recommend this app.

  • Duplicates transactions

    This app duplicates many of my transactions. It also cannot figure out how to reconcile when I make a payment from my checking account on my credit card. This all messes up my budget. There should also be a way to make sure it classifies future transactions of the same type under the category you want them to be in. For example, I have one that it thinks a shopping, but it is healthcare.

    I wish it was available on android too so my partner could use it.

  • Frustrated with paid features

    I’ve tried several budgeting apps but Buddy is the only one I’ve found that allows users to create multiple independent budgets and to delegate specific purchases to different budgets, which keeps me coming back but it’s not without its tradeoffs. My biggest frustrations are the following: 1) I have multiple credit cards with 1 company linked to my Buddy app however the app struggles to categorize transactions under the correct credit card. 2) Lack of category splitting, which means typing out lengthy notes in some transactions. 3) Lack of cross-platform compatibility (namely a desktop version). I really enjoy the simple user interface and customization options that are hard to come by in other paid apps, but it’s frustrating having to keep a sharp eye on my transactions and only being able to do so on my phone or iPad when I feel that having the option to use a desktop version would be much more helpful to avoid constantly switching screens when I’m updating (or correcting) my transactions in the app.

  • Makes my life so much easier

    I’m retired and living overseas, so it’s important for me to know how far my money goes. Buddy is so useful, I can post transactions on my phone, iPad or Mac, create a budget for myself, and establish the monthly recurring expenses like my HOA fee. Super handy. I also export the data and use that to analyze my spending.

  • I don’t think it’s worth the money, needs improvement

    I have the paid version, and I was hopeful. The app is trying to do five different things at the same time, but it doesn’t do any of them right.

  • Budget confusion problems

    Unfortunately, the bank connection feature is almost unusable. In the transaction details, the app does not clearly show which bank account a transaction belongs to , it only displays the memo/description. As a result, you have to guess which account the transaction came from. This is a very basic and essential detail that has not been properly implemented, and it creates a lot of confusion when managing multiple accounts. Additionally, the “Left to spend” indicator in the Budget section has no clear logic and is very misleading. Instead of showing how much of my planned monthly expenses are still left to be covered, it displays an unrelated value that does not reflect real budget planning at all. This makes it difficult to understand my actual financial position for the month.

  • Good App, Could Use improvement

    It's decent, but there is a lot of functionality in a Budgeting App that leaves room for growth. Things to be desired. If the developer wants my ideas, they can pay me for it.
