Buggy and budget info is unreliable
At first I really liked this app because it was very simple, didn’t try to force me into some convoluted way of thinking about my money, and did most everything I wanted it to do.
I’m sorry to report two things that make it a deal-breaker for me:
• It is unstable and allows certain operations that will gaurantee a crash, such as setting an Emoji on a budget category group (as opposed to just a category).
• Worst of all, it reports incorrect data in budget categories. I have an expense listed in my account register which mystifyingly does not appear as a deduction in my budget for the catetory assigned to it. It’s just this one, as far as I can tell, but the fact that I can’t trust amounts in my budget is a total deal-breaker. It prevents EXACTLY the peace of mind and planning that I want from budget software and could cause me financial problems.
There is one small thing that is really frustrating but was not a deal breaker for me. Within the budget screen you cannot sort by category name. The categories appear in a seemingly arbitraty order and there is nothing you can do about it. This causes un-needed difficulty in scanning expense tracking.
You know software, especially from a downloadable source; once you pay you are screwed. It doesn’t even matter if the software is broken, you are probably not going to get a refund. Pass this up and don’t get burned like I did. At least it is inexpensive.
