--

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.

Don’t get caught

The lite version gives you the semblance it’s a high performing app with lots of features. But after you upgrade as you must after x number of inputs and transactions, these features don’t work. Automated responses from so called help team are cryptic and not designed to solve actual problems.

Sync doesn’t work

The only reason I chose this app was for the ability to sync within my family. But the sync feature does not work! I contacted support twice. The first time there was no response. The second time they said to delete the group and try again, which I had told them in my message I had already tried. No thank you!

Excellent!

Great interface and works very well.

It's only a trial version

Please, don't call this a lite version. It's only a trial app, for the user can only enter 10 entries and then they will ask you to switch to full version app which will cost you CAD$6.99. Uninstall it and shame on you!

Fantastic

Simple to use, great graphics. I have used it for years now and it's the best one out there.

Disappointed

Limited options (like no parking rent or loan in reoccurring payments ) and confusing UX. Gave it a shot and quit!

HomeBudget excellent 100%

Superbe application. Depuis 2 ans que je m'en sert, je ne peu plus m'en passer. Je met mes depenses au fur et à mesure ce qui me permet de suivre mon budget. Je mets même mes compte bancaire et cartes de credits et même les depenses récurrentes automatiquements. Je le recommande à 100%.

After 20 transactions you have to pay

I really like this app, used probably for one month. Easy to use and understand. After 20 transactions it asked me to update for promo. I'm not really would like pay, so I removed app and will start to looking for something for free.

Doesn't work

Only lets me save 1 expense entry and won't let me save any income entries. Every time I try to save an entry it gives me the message that 'this version can only save 20 expenses and 10 incomes and that the paid version is unlimited'. I don't even have twenty expenses or ten incomes to enter, I shouldn't need the full version!

Canadian?

Am I missing something? The only way I seemed to be able to set this to Canadian dollars kept converting my balances making this useless to me. Sorry but I had to delete it. Looked good in the app store.
