Dollarbird - Budget Calendar

Wrote several times to support about error in app, no answer, no solution, no feedback.

I’ve been looking for an app like this for a long time, maybe I’m a visual learner, but a combination of calendar-based structure and cashflow perspective is right on point! It might be buggy at times showing wrong balance or not updating immediately, other than that it is an excellent app and helps me immensely on a daily basis!

Why is the app not working? I can’t add the transactions! And I at least want to see the transactions I added for this month so that I can transfer them somewhere else and use this all of for analysis but I can’t even do that!!!

This new version of Dollarbird is so much worse than the previous one. It doesn't work offline, frequently shuts off, works very slowly. Also, thousands show with a "k"instead of zeros, expenses are not presented in a pie chart format anymore, less visually descriptive now. Overall the experience is now not as pleasant as before. I was a big fan of dollarbird before this new version came out and I was made to transfer my data from the old to new one.u

Neat concept. But can only put in 3 “transactions” when you first sign on then have to pay a subscription. Other budgeting apps come free so this is a miss.

With other apps having features like widgets, this app needs updating to justify paying the monthly subscription for me now. Other apps have caught up with it. Otherwise this app is pretty good. Needs IOS 18.0.1 update. Screen becomes unresponsive when trying to enter transactions.

This app does what I want it to and that’s help me forecast my cash flow. I upgrade so the version I have has more features than the basic app. I can’t give it 5 stars because I’ve found some annoying quirks in this recurring error the app makes. It seems that sometimes when I click a date, the calendar will jump forward a few months but it does not change the month displayed. 😳🙄. Annoying but I roll with it. 🤷‍♀️

This app has made me be debt free! It has helped me do better at budgeting. I’ve recommended this app to lots of my friends!

*Update* I’m disappointed they have not been able to fix the glitches. Frequently, when looking out a few months or more, the months show a brief balance before switching to show completely different balances. It’s as tough it’s perpetually trying to catch ch up from some changed entry but, for the life of me, I can never figure out which entry is causing the glitch. It always starts at 3 to 4 months out and carry’s through ever month beyond. It is extremely frustrating when trying to plan by quarter. I’m knocking one star because this has been an on and off issue for years now. *** I can’t believe how hard it is to find a calendar based budget app that works. I like that I don’t have to link my bank accounts. I pay full price and will continue to do so. The rest of my comments are in hopes the developer will make improvements. It does act “glitchy” and recently actually crashes when entering/moving a lot of transactions. It seems slow to update each transaction and I often find myself waiting for it to catch up, even with fast Wi-Fi. I find the search feature notion to be clunky. Sometimes it works but sometimes it only pulls up confirmed transactions instead of allowing me to see other planned transactions. It’s hard to get used to the fact that upcoming expenses are reflected in balance forecast but today’s expenses are not reflected until they are confirmed. The following are just wishes, but may not be for everyone: I also wish there was a way to track various “sinking fund” balances for cash savings (like the envelope system). And I wish the overall balance could be split to reflect the 3 different bank accounts I use.

I lived by this app forever . It was amazing and I referred multiple people. They just did an update with “auto forecast” which can’t be turned off. It is now impossible to see what you’re account will ACTUALLY look like since it auto calculates.
